The Hardy Brothers next single "Pura Vida" drops on all music platforms January 19th! Pura Vida captures the essence of Costa Rica's vibrant life; its people, beaches and nature. It means 'Pure Life' and is Costa's own Aloha: a way of celebrating the good vibes here and now. We love visiting this beautiful country! The song features blended male/female vocals, piano, guitars, drums and gorgeous trumpet lines from our brother on the other side Jason Lawner 🙏🏽🎺 We'll be jamming and celebrating at a RELEASE PARTY at @graciesbar Friday January 19th 6-9pm. Mark your calendar!

We recorded this song in James' studio Pearl Studios and Zach's studio @silent_green_records . Zach is responsible for the amazing mix and @averysandack put the finishing touches on with a masterful Mastering of the track! The band members featured on the recording include: @skiptronic (Drums/Background Vocals), @slcskyrise (Lead Electric Guitar), @gurl.wit.curls (Background Vocals), Zach Hardy (Rhythm Electric Guitar/Percussion), @sundivide (Bass), @jasonlawner (Trumpet) and @thehardyheart (Vocals/Piano Acoustic Guitar).

Also wanted to throw a shout out to @dead_cowboys , @carolyn_bokovoy , @drewgray5821 , @jynburtch and @shazzytlg for adding their voices to the chorus! Big thanks to David Bokovoy for the incredible photo from our 2021 trip to Costa Rica and to @jessphoto_inc for generously touching up the photo.

Stay tuned...
