It all began  in the late summer of 2024 with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion for the blues. 40 Minute Drive is an electric blues band.  Our influences include Jimi Hendrix, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Colin James to name a few. 

We are: Matt Smiley (Lead Vocals and Guitar); Max Serna Hinojosa (Lead Guitar and vocals); Rob Stevens (Bass Guitar) and Jim Reid (Percussion)
