The Cactus Jack Band was formed in the late 70’s at a popular country night-spot called Ollie’s Roundup. In the 70’s, there were three or four HOT country spots and Ollie’s Roundup was one of them. The band moved up to northern Denver and secured a “house-band” job at the Castaways Lounge. This was a six-night a week job that afforded the band the scenario and time to hone their sound. They were diverse enough to secure the job for five years running.

Jeff “Bodene” Fuhr is the original founding member of the Cactus Jack band. He provides the lead vocals, harmony, and guitar work for the band. Over the last twenty-five years he has employed fifteen to twenty musicians, assuring that his personal brand of music was conveyed by each. The current members are: Bass-Randy Norton    Drums-Bill Miner   Electric guitar-Ron Cook.

Everyone shares in the singing, whether it is harmony or lead vocals. This adds a tremendous variety to the overall repertoire.

In fact, the band has appeared on numerous thirty-minute infomercials for Rocky’s Autos as the “Rocky’s House Band”. Bodene wrote “The Ballad of Shagman” for the auto dealer. In addition, he composed the soundtrack for the made for T.V. movie Escape From Terror originally aired on N.B.C. and now in syndication.

Cactus Jack has worked with a multitude of high-profile entertainers including, Steve Wariner, Gary Morris, Johnny Lee, Kenny Rogers, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and more. As you can see by that list, the music offered is not limited to country-western!
