Laine Hardy Facts
- He began learning to play the guitar at the age of 8 when he had managed to convince his parents to buy him his first guitar from the local Walmart. Over the next few years, he would save every cent he could, finally gathering the $1300 he required to purchase his dream instrument that consisted of a G&L Legacy Sunburst electric guitar.
- By the time he was 14 years old, he had formed a band with his brother and cousins named The Band Hardy and was performing at local bars and restaurants. Although he did not sing at the beginning, he was encouraged by his brother to do so.
- Hardy has affirmed that when he was 17 years old, he had been able to develop his confidence as a performer along with totally revolutionize his personal look and style. He had got rid of the teenage floppy fringe and the tracksuits and replaced them with smartly tailored clothes and a slicked-back hairstyle. He had even made the effort of correcting a tooth that had been damaged a few years back after a biking accident. Laine has gone on to reveal that his mother had been initially unsure of his new, grown-up look, and had tried to coax him into dressing his age but had eventually come around to his views and had begun to look at his suit as an armor he puts on to become a completely different person.
- Laine has a huge line of merchandise that has included everything from T-shirts printed with his catchphrase “Ain’t a Party Without a Hardy” to logo hats, guitar picks, koozies, phone grips, bumper stickers, as well as wrist bands.
- He has disclosed that each piece of gold that he has worn has carried a deep meaning that has highlighted his close ties with his family and friends. His mother had given him the ring for Christmas saying she wanted him to always think about her, the horseshoe ring was that of the father of a family friend who had given it to him for good luck.
