Hello and welcome to The TCB Band  Team
The TCB Band consists of four superb musicians who acquired their name through working for Elvis Presley. Elvis' motto was "TCB" - Taking Care of Business in a flash. These three letters were arranged around a lightening bolt, and the logo was used on everything from stationary to Elvis' private jet, the Lisa Marie. When Elvis returned to live performances in 1968, he had with him over the years a core of musicians who made up the rhythm section of the orchestra. James Burton, Jerry Scheff, Glen D Hardin and Ronnie Tutt later became known as The TCB Band. Click here to let Elvis introduce the band.


 T.C.B. stand for Taking Care of Business, which is what Elvis Presley called his band. He incorporated the letters into an emblem flanked by lightning bolts. This emblem was used in several pieces of Elvis' custom jewelry including his famous T.C.B. ring and necklace.

The TCB Band (Takin' Care of Business) was a group of professional musicians who formed the core rhythm section of Elvis Presley’s band from August 1969 until his death in 1977. Although personnel changed over the years, the original members were James Burton (lead guitar), Jerry Scheff (bass), John Wilkinson (rhythm guitar), Larry Muhoberac (keyboards) and Ronnie Tutt (drums). They first appeared live at Presley’s Las Vegas, Nevada first performance at the Hotel International on July 31, 1969 When planning his return to live performing after his successful 1968 NBC television comeback, Presley had to replace original band members Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana (who had returned to session work) and Bill Black who went on to stardom with the Bill Black Combo before passing away in 1965.Elvis’ first call was to Ricky Nelson’s guitarist James Burton whom he asked to help form the group. Burton called keyboard man Glen D. Hardin who declined. Then he called Larry Muhoberac who had played on several of Presley’s movie soundtrack sessions and he accepted. Next he added Jerry Scheff on bass and John Wilkinson on rhythm. Muhoberac suggested Ronnie Tutt for the drums to round out the section. By February 1970, Glen D. Hardin joined on keyboards eventually replacing Muhoberac who returned to studio work in Los Angeles.
