Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1985 by Kevn Kinney and Tim Nielsen, Drivin N Cryin swiftly established themselves within the city’s vibrant club scene, building a reputation for their eclectic Southern rock sound and dynamic live performances. The band secured their first record deal with 688 Records in 1986, releasing their debut album, ‘Scarred But Smarter,’ the same year. This early success led to a major label contract with Island Records in 1987. Their major-label debut, ‘Whisper Tames the Lion,’ arrived in 1988, climbing to No.
The band released two new albums in recent years, ‘Too Late to Turn Back Now!’ in 2018 and ‘Live the Love Beautiful’ in 2019, maintaining their legacy of consistent touring and original music for nearly four decades.
