Motel Drive came to life in 2008 and in its infancy tore off screaming like a crazed Chevy Bel Air on a hot July night in California's Central Valley. Yet, the ever persevering search by long-standing valley rocker JD Goodwin for the right musicians to take his songs to the level where they could lift your soul or break your heart finally paid off in 2009 as he turned his search back toward home, toward longtime friends and fellow musicians. The three-piece lineup that is Motel Drive is comprised of exactly that, longtime friends and former band mates, and has solidified into a diligently focused powerhouse.
