Fuzzy & The Rustbelts

Fuzzy & The Rustbelts are an All-American band blending the grit of country, the soul of folk, and the edge of rock ’n’ roll. Since forming in 2019, the Buffalo-based group has carved out a distinct sound marked by raw honesty, dynamic arrangements, and a relentless work ethic. With two full-length albums, two EPs, and a string of singles under their belt, they’ve earned recognition from both local and national media—and built a loyal grassroots following along the way.

Their latest album, Out West, is a powerful statement on love, loss, and resilience. In its first month alone, the ten-track LP earned over 25,000 Spotify streams and culminated in a sold-out album release show. Fuzzy’s lyrics cut deep with personal reflections and hard-won wisdom, while the band delivers a sonically rich backdrop that amplifies every emotion.

Winners of Buffalo’s 106.5 WYRK Taste of Country Riser Competition and three-time recipients of Best Country Act at the All WNY Music Awards, Fuzzy & The Rustbelts have shared stages with artists like Mitchell Tenpenny, Marcus King, Maddie & Tae, Rodney Atkins, Miranda Lambert, Gary LeVox (Rascal Flatts), Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, and Willie Nelson—firmly establishing themselves in the Americana and country music scenes.
