Fuzzy & The Rustbelts

Fuzzy & The Rustbelts are an All American Band rooted in the music styling of country, folk, and rock 'n roll. Since 2019, F+R have produced several releases with singles, That Sweet Song (2019) and Perfect (2021) both garnering a significant amount of local, national, and international attention from various media outlets. The band were the winners of the 2019 106.5 WYRK Taste of Country Riser Competition, and was voted 2020, 2021, and 2022 Best Country Act at the All WNY Music Awards. In 2023, Fuzzy debuted a solo acoustic EP titled, Stories & Ballads. It consisted of five songs written over the course of a few years to include additional tracks detailing the origins of each individual song.
After a brief hiatus, Fuzzy & The Rustbelts reemerged with new music and a new focus. This October, the band is scheduled to release its second LP, Out West, featuring ten songs that cry out to the past and reflect on the things that could have been. Out West explores a vast wilderness of emotions that one faces regarding adulthood, death, love, and missed opportunities. It’s pioneer sprit wrestles with personal demons and overcomes metaphorical obstacles. Fuzzy digs deep into his past by sharing feelings and experiences that he has been reluctant to express, as the band crafts a canvas wide enough for him to paint the picture that is, Out West.
Throughout the years F+R have shared stages and festivals with national touring artists including Mitchell Tenpenny, Maddie & Tae, Rodney Atkins, Gary LeVox (Rascal Flats), Miranda Lambert, Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, and Willie Nelson.
