Curtis Cash (Lead Vocals/Guitar)

 

Curtis had a life-long dream of being the front man for a Johnny Cash tribute band. He began playing acoustic guitar at a young age and discovered that he loved to sing various styles of music. In 1996, Curtis had the unique experience of meeting Johnny Cash outside his tour bus. He was awestruck by Cash’s humble and reflective demeanor. This was the catalyst that made Curtis’s dream a reality. He has worked many years on capturing the distinct baritone voice of Johnny Cash.

 

Joel Kulik    (Drums/Trumpet/Back-up vocals)

 

Joel has been beating on the drums for a wide variety of musical styles over the years. From playing folk to metal, he continues to broaden his horizon. By day he is a high school chemistry teacher. By night he is the cold hard rhythmic foundation of the musical styling of Johnny Cash.

Bob Cruden  (Lead Guitar/Back-up vocals)

 

Mr. Bob Cruden’s electric guitar picking is smooth, coloured with tasteful licks. His guitar sound ranges from the head-bopping rockabilly sound of the 50’s to the foot stomping hard rock sound of the 90’s. Bob has been playing guitar for over 4 decades and has wide range of musical experience. His rich tones and tender picking complete the sound of the Cold Hard Cash experience

Neal Scheller (bass guitar)

 

Neal has been strumming in different bands for years. His influences include Hank Sr., The Beatles, and CCR. Being a former railroader, Neal enjoys the steady rhythms in Cash's songs. Neal is excited that it’s now boom-chica-boom with Cold Hard Cash!
