Halfway to Hazard was an American country music duo composed of singer-songwriters David Tolliver and Chad Warrix. Though Tolliver and Warrix grew up in different towns in southeastern Kentucky, their band's origins are in Hazard, Kentucky, which was halfway between their hometowns.

Their debut single, "Daisy", was a Top 40 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in 2007. The song was also featured as iTunes' single of the week on August 6, 2007. In addition, they toured as Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's opening act on their Soul2Soul 2007 Tour. McGraw helped to produce the album.[1]

On October 14, 2007, the duo performed the national anthem prior to the Green Bay Packers' home game against the Washington Redskins.[2] Later that season they performed again at Lambeau Field for the Packers NFC Championship game against the New York Giants.[1]

In May 2008, they were nominated by the Academy of Country music for their "Duo of the Year," award. Halfway to Hazard toured again on the Live Your Voice tour with Tim McGraw and Jason Aldean.

A single from their second album, "I Know Where Heaven Is," was released on July 20, 2009. The album, Come on Time, was released on October 19, 2009. Neither charted.

On January 20, 2010, Tolliver announced he was taking an indefinite leave of absence from the duo via their website. All future tour dates were indefinitely postponed. The future of the act is unknown.

Rebecca Lynn Howard (born April 24, 1979 in Salyersville, Kentucky) is an American country music artist. She has charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, and has released three studio albums. Her highest-charting single, "Forgive", peaked at #12 on the country music charts in 2002.

Howard began her musical career in 1997, writing album cuts by John Michael Montgomery, Jessica Andrews, Lila McCann and others.[1] She was briefly signed to Rising Tide Records Nashville, which closed in March 1998.[2]

She signed to MCA Nashville and released her self-titled debut album in 2000. It included the singles "When My Dreams Come True," "Out Here in the Water" and "I Don't Paint Myself into Corners," all of which charted on the Billboard country singles charts.[3]

In 2001, Howard sang a duet with Jim Brickman titled "Simple Things."

Her second album, Forgive, was released late in 2002. It included the #12-peaking "Forgive," which was her only Top 40 single and the only release from the album.[3] Two more singles followed in 2003: "What a Shame" and "I Need a Vacation," which respectively reached #43 and #49 on the country charts. Neither was included on an album.[3]

By 2005, Howard moved to Arista Nashville, where she released two more singles slated for an also-unreleased album, tentatively titled Alive and Well. These singles were "No One'll Ever Love Me," which reached #48, and "That's Why I Hate Pontiacs,"[4] which did not chart. She also recorded for Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville label (now part of Show Dog-Universal Music) in 2006, releasing the single "Soon" but no album.

Her third album to be released was 2008's No Rules, on the Saguaro Road label.
