BAND BIOS
 


        
Steve Adams was born in Middleton, Ohio and started singing
professionally at age 17 with a group called Cheyenne. The 
band traveled around the country for about two years and 
opened up for bands such as Tommy James and The Shondells,
The Young Rascals, (as they were called then!) The Royal
Guardsmen, (Snoopy and The Red Baron) and The Turtles. 

In 1989, Steve did the "Elvis thing". It started out as more of a 
joke, but escalated into something much more. For the first year 
and a half, Steve was accompanied by taped music. He knew 
he needed a real band, and formed Kentucky Rain. Having a 
live band has helped to bring in some sweet gigs (and some dogs 
too!)  
Steve says, "I can honestly say that I've enjoyed this more than 
any other experience I have had
in music over the years."

When Larry Cutler joined the band in 1996, 
he brought over 25 years of drumming 
experience to the party. He has played 
Vegas and has 10 years touring experience 
with Brad Mercer and other bands. One of his 
former bass players now plays for 
Dwight Yokam.

Great Keyboardists are hard to find, 
and when Hugh joined the group in 
1997, we knew we had the right man! 
He currently has a successful law 
practice in Redmond, and played with 
several bands in college.
