   About Cold Crankin' Amps


Featuring a set list that includes danceable tunes ranging from 50s-70s vintage rock and punk to 80s and 90s alternative, with current rock and some classic country thrown in for fun, Cold Crankin Amps is a cross-generational, cross-genre cover band guaranteed to amp up your event. The members of CCA share a love for all types of fun music and this passion shows in the diversity of the songs and the performance on stage. We invite you to check out our demo recordings and set list.

The band is as eclectic as its music.

CCA is fronted by native Texan Micah Torres, a gifted and versatile singer and musician who grew up in a family of professional musicians, including both parents and his uncle Jimmy Torres, the writer of the 50s instrumental hit Wheels, and the 60s hit, Sugar Shack. Before CCA, Micah played solo acoustic gigs in the DFW area.

With his ability to play songs from all types and eras of rock, lead guitarist Fred Rayner enables the band's diverse play list. Big Fred is an accomplished natural talent who focused on guitar after finishing his college degree and career as a defensive lineman at UT and Angelo State University.

Bassist Mike Redin and drummer Craig Hathaway complete the band with a solid bass line and drum rhythms. Mike is the youngest member of the band and a veteran of several working bands from the DFW area. Hes also an accomplished sound technician and is responsible for producing the band's recordings. Craig was trained as a percussionist since age 10. After playing acoustic drums for years, he moved to electronic Roland V-Drums and uses their flexible settings to achieve the different drum kit sounds that CCA's variety of songs and styles demand.
