About us
The story so far
Zac Harmon found The Drive in a Dallas club, and before long they were his touring band — "young, talented musicians that help push me musically," as he put it. For the next four years they carried his name across the United States and Europe and onto two records: Floreada's Boy (Catfood Records, 2024), a Living Blues top album of the year, and Live (2026), billed as Zac Harmon & The Drive.
Critics took notice. Reviewing Live, Bill Kopp called the band "super-tight" and wrote that "Harmon and the Drive deftly alternate between swagger and subtlety." The sound comes from where these players learned their craft — Pentecostal and gospel churches, Deep Ellum clubs, southern soul stages, and sessions as far afield as Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun.
In August 2026 The Drive stepped out on its own and won the band division of the Trinity River Blues Society's 8th Annual Blues Challenge, in front of the biggest crowd in the event's history. In January 2027 they represent North Texas at the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge on Beale Street in Memphis.

The line-up
Who's on stage
- Guitar & Lead Vocals
Kingston "Soul Fingers" Livingston
Guitar & Lead Vocals
A Texas native who's been performing since high school, Kingston cut his teeth behind southern soul artists before Zac Harmon spotted him and put him on stages across Europe. The band's youngest member, he's known for what one reviewer called "lush guitar work."
- Keys & Vocals
Corey "Brown Coy" Lacy
Keys & Vocals
A Dallas arts-magnet graduate trained at the University of North Texas, Corey spent more than a decade as Zac Harmon's keyboardist — the musical thread running from Harmon's earlier bands into The Drive.
- Bass
Nate "The Bass" Robinson
Bass
Raised playing in the Pentecostal church and at home in gospel, blues and country, Nate anchors the low end. Bman's Blues Report wrote that he and Gino "set a solid foundation."
- Drums & Vocals
Gino "LockJohnson" Iglehart
Drums & Vocals
A Deep Ellum fixture for more than three decades, Gino played drums on Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun and toured in her band. He co-owns The Alley Music House in Addison, runs Playground Recordings, and calls his sound "populistic soul."
