Main Band Line up

Larry Orf - Lead vocals/Guitar

Full Time with Tuff Luck Band - my right hand man of many talents with his guitar, keeping his brain exercised with new material every month  But he is SOOOOO Good!!!!

Terry Moore - Bass guitar

Getting down funky on his 5 string guitar. Easy going, always smiling and ready to play. Terry is my main BASS man, such talent that you will find him playing with other bands that you also LOVE...so if you don't see him in the line-up it's because he is playing somewhere else....(DBX, Flowerpower, Cringe, Magic Trio)

Jamie Riccio- Drums

Our drummer and solid player, always ready to have a good time. Recently married in May 25, he brings his talents, fancy stick play and his drive to rock the house.
