Four Men Walking

About Me

Four Men Walking put it all out there from 2000 to 2008. The band gave it all on stage and wanted to demonstrate to all who ever saw them perform how much they loved the opportunity to play for them. Over the years FMW made countless friends playing in Houston and throughout the mid-west. Now in late 2008 FMW has decided to put it all aside for awhile and go their separate ways. Terrance is playing with Corey Butler, Joel has moved to Nashville and is working on songwriting and solo material. Check out both of the guys and what they will be doing in 2009! Keep in touch, you never know... maybe one day... Thanks for 8 awesome years!
Ranked in the top ten of barstar.com, FMW has gained the admiration and respect of fans since it's formation in 2000. Four Men Walking is a high-energy modern rock band with a distinct sound evolving from the guitar-based songwriting of vocalist/guitarist, Joel Schultz. Add in the rhythm section of Terrance Ballard and Tim Schultz and you get a truly original sound that is as catchy as Three Doors Down, and as intricate as Tool.
FMW's first big show was opening for Universal’s Blue October in 2001. Since then, FMW has performed across the country, including large shows like Main Event Houston for the 2004 MLB All-Star game. In September of 2003, FMW released The Life We Have To Live to a great response from fans and critics alike. The release party was filmed and broadcast by Texas Live TV, and was a big moment for the band. Touring across the Midwest in early 2004, FMW brought their music to a new base of listeners, and quickly made may new fans on the road. In April, Four Men Walking became the first rock band ever to be broadcast live on MSBN's FirstCutLive.com. FMW’s single Mind’s Eye reached the top ten on BroadJam. In 2008 FMW released For The Cause, an album in support of their summer tour.

Band Website: www.fourmenwalking.com
Band Members: Joel Schultz (vocals, guitar)
Tim Schultz (bass)
Terrance Ballard (drums)
Joel began writing songs at the age of 13. Teaching himself guitar, Joel created an original style that defines both his playing and singing. Before Four Men Walking, Joel Played in Little City Halls and Normal. After playing acoustic shows around Houston in 2000 Joel decided to start a new project that became Four Men Walking.
Tim is the corner stone of the Four Men Walking sound, developing his own style to accent the drive of the band's music. Tim prides himself on his live performance. Losing himself in the music, Tim becomes another person on stage and provides energy that FMW fans have come to expect.
Terrance has played drums around the world. Playing through college in a Jazz band, and with his former band Chapel Tuesday, Terrance developed an original hard-hitting style. With Four Men Walking, Terrance has discovered his rock-edge and fills the music with complexity and drive. With jazz roots and a multi-genre approach, Terrance completes Four Men Walking.
