-: Bio
Joel Rustenhaven - Lead Vocals/Guitar
I have been singing since I was 3. I grew up singing in the church, also traveled all across the United States, from Dallas to Boston singing with bands. In 2001 I formed The Rustenhaven Band. I have had several different members since I started the band. The guys we have now are great musicians. Also changed the style of music to make a bigger variety to please all the fans. I love to play and sing from the camp fire to the big stage, but I love the fans the most.
Carl Welch - Drummer/Vocals
I've been playing the drums for most of my life and have loved every minute of it. I have a great passion for music, and I'm always willing to learn new styles and chops as well. I've had the honor to play with some good musicians in my life, but playing with The Rustenhaven Band has been a blast. We always have fun when we hit the stage and people see that and love it. Being on stage with friends, it just doesn't get any better than that. Thanks to everyone for coming to our shows. Your the reason to rock!
Steve Larson - Bass/Vocals
I have been playing music since my piano lessons when i was a little kid. I picked up the bass when I was 13 and never looked back. Playing all over from LA to Lansing, Grand Island to West Palm, my bass is always with me. I've played with Joel and the boys on and off for the past 5 years, sometimes leaving to try new things, but always coming back for the good times and good friends! The Rustenhaven Band is a rockin good time for us all!
Paul Jeter - Lead Guitar
I started playing guitar at the age of 14 and have played every day for the past 36yrs,
whether its been playing live on stage with the band or practicing in a garage. My influences
range from Stevie Ray Vaugue to Chet Atkins. I like almost everything music wise and I love
nothing more than rocking on stage with The Rustenhaven Band, the best musicians ive ever had the pleasure of performing with and entertaining our fans.
