Rucus Bio:
Rucus was started by Chris & Todd back in early 1998. Both got together on weekends to jam on original songs as well as covers. Corey who worked with Todd came out to a jam session to sing. Chad joined after answering the flyer Rucus put out looking for a Bass player at NDSCS.
Rucus would start playing gigs as a four piece around the FM area from 1999 to 2001. In the summer of 2001 Rucus would add an additional guitar player to fill out their sound. Rucus would go through a hand full of guitar players for the next few years. Rucus disband on good terms in 2004.
Fast forward 15 years later. In 2019 Chris called up Corey, Chad and Todd to see if they wanted to get out and play again. The core of Rucus would reach out to Andy who was in the band before, asked him to join again. In Sept. of 2023 Rucus added Luke as a fill in Bass player, he has been a great addition to the band.
