Bluff Cheque was born from the experiences of three brothers - Josh, Jake, and Joel Hornbarger. Josh, Jake and Joel first played in The Original Free Rangers/Beatrice from 2003 to 2005. After the break-up of Beatrice, the brothers set out to form a band of their own. The Hornbarger’s tried out various vocalists and guitarists before deciding that Joel Hornbarger should sing as well as play guitar. The Hornbarger’s named their band Bluff Cheque and played several gigs, but there was something missing. Enter Gabe Schneider, a friend and fellow musician. Gabe joined the band during the summer of 2007 and immediately helped Bluff Cheque attain a more full sound.
Bluff Cheque won Taylor’s Got Talent in September of 2007. They have also played at Summer Honors College 2007, Godstock 2007, Carroll Middle School’s RAT Lock-in, a halloween/barn party, The Alley in Hicksville, OH, a benefit concert in Celina, OH, and Little Sibs Weekend at TUFW.
