Hard Times Band

Hard Times Band was named for its past. Here is the history. The first day the band was officially formed, the original bass player went home to get his bass for the band’s first practice to find that his fiancee’ had committed suicide. Over the next 5 years one of the founding members of the band got divorced, and the other founding member went bankrupt. On the night the band shot its video for the song "White Trash" the child actor who played “young Travis” in the video went home and committed suicide. Following all of this the band decided that no other name fit, and they became known as The Hard Times Band. We are actually in an era of Good Times as of late. We have two albums worth of new music really to go to the studio as soon as Mike gives his okay on drums. We have a great team of musicians working on this project and our music keeps getting better and better. Since The hard times are behind us, the band has experienced numerous positive turns such as having the opportunity to play at such fun venues as the Nebraska State Fair, Fremont Days Rodeo, Tin Lizzy's, Bushwackers, The Manhattan Club, Ice House, Whiskey RoadHouse, The Lounge, Maggie McCall's, The Lodge, The Other Bar, The Press Room, The Scott Voorhes Show and a number of other wonderful places. Today, HTB is working in the studio on their second AND third albums. We have videos on YouTube to check out namely "It Just Has To", "White Trash" and "It Is What It Is."
