According to his bio, he got his first guitar when he was seven, and for the past few years has been playing in a band.
You can check out Laine Hardy's amazing performance at the New York premiere of the “STRAIGHT TO THE HEART” Music festival on YouTube. According to the YouTube write-up on the Ultimate Vocal Music Summit channel, Hardy was actually "born in Baton Rouge, LA, [and] brings a real and intense youthful energy to Fogerty mythical and imaginary thoughts that penned the words to Born on the Bayou, with Creedence Clearwater Revival's second album, Bayou Country released in 1969."
Laine Hardy shouts out to his brother
It seems that Laine is a nice young man as well as a talented one, but not in the "aw-shucks" kind of way.
He is getting a lot of recognition now, but he took the time to give a nice shout-out to his brother. Laine posted on Instagram, Y’all please go follow my brother! I look up to him every step of the way and he’s the best. I love him with all I got. His Facebook is Kyle Hardy and his Insta is @kyle.hardyy."
Will Laine be the next 'American Idol?'
Competition is tight in the "American Idol" contest, but Laine has something special.
It's that something special that Elvis Presley had. It's that very something special that Donovan had. But it is also something special that is uniquely Laine Hardy. You could maybe put your money on him taking away the 2018 "American Idol."
