The Hallway Ballers are a close niche group whose music, brotherhood and influence runs deep from all the sunny and shady points of the Monterey Bay. The group Itself started with a couple friends, whose common interest in the beach and music brought them together. Brothers Raphael and David Grijalva and good friend Nate Hydie began jamming wherever they could, whether freestyling over a beatboxing 40 bottle or jamming acoustic guitars and a conga drum the group of friends always strived to make good music. The Hallway Ballers took another step forward when they formed a complete band with the addition of drummer Adam Huntress whose beats put the finishing touches on a new contagious sound.
