CTB Band

Utilizing the GET TWISTED theme they have partiers from Iowa, Illinois, WI on board to chug’em at any given time.

Kirstie Kraus on lead vocals is always stirring up the crowd with her soft sultry renditions of, Miranda Lambert, Jennifer Nettles, Gretchen Wilson, and Jessica Harp to name a few. There are not too many bands out there that have this kind of Charismatic front women.

Kelly Boelter utilizes every ounce of her girly frame to play Key’s/Fiddle, and even bass on occasion, but don’t get me wrong this bird can belt out the classics from Heart, Rebecca Howard, and Carrie Underwood and much more. Don't even get her started with her light up tamborine.

When Kirstie and Kelly join together WOW total entertainment package!
Dana Ostrom, and Will Martin are not giving the girls total control though as Dana puts his boots on and gets down with some of the most popular, Jason Aldean tunes. While Will throws a few cuts out there from Keith Urban, and Love and Theft; these two do it while adding perfect rhythm to the band as Dana’s guitar riffs are staggering, and Will’s thunderous bass chops can only be compared with their rendition of Save a horse ride a cowboy.

Chad Helmer is the heart and soul of this band; every structure has a foundation, and theirs is the dependability, timing and focus of their leader. Chad has been there done that and still is ready to go with excitement that rings through his playing like a strike of lightning. His ear for music is totally amazing.

Mauricio Hernandez joinging the band in December 2010. Finding a guitar player that would be able to add flash yet keep the melodic tones of the leads was important to CTB; all that can be said now is...if you love guitar licks don't miss this brilliant guitarist.
