The Tuff Profit Band came together in 2003 when a group of guys met and discovered
that they all had the same love for a sound that had a down-home and high-energy
groove.

A live Tuff Profit show is a blend of music that encompasses the outlaw sounds of
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams.  

The band also incorporates the hard-driven sounds of the southern rock music of
Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, the laid-back feeling of John
Hyatt, plus the driving rock sounds of Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones.

Tuff Profit is strongly influenced by Oklahoma Red Dirt Music and artists like Bob
Childers, Randy Crouch, Tom Skinner and The Medicine Show.  This is a philosophy
that the band strongly shares and is evident in the original songs written by the band.

When you go to a Tuff Profit show, you’ll experience honky tonk energy, a fun,
interactive band and the fans and audience having a great time.  Tuff Profit puts on a
must-see performance.
