Rye Valley

Rye Valley is an Americana band from Northeast Ohio. Founding members Brett Auerbach and Landon Kearns met at an iconic Northeast Ohio open mic hosted at the Silver Swan Tavern. After nearly a decade of casual collaboration, Auerbach and Kearns joined forces with Tyler Lobdell in 2021 to create Rye Valley. Rye Valley showcases Auerbach's original songwriting, paired with Lobdell's lead pedal steel guitar, and Kearns talented multi-instrumentalism. Together they produce a truly eclectic sound that is soulfully rich, full, and warm. Their unique sound and heartfelt lyrics have proven to captivate audiences, recently gaining national recognition as an emerging Americana band.

Rye Valley released their first EP in 2023 titled "Greetings from Rye Valley". Additionally, Rye Valley released a live recorded album in 2023 titled "Rye Valley Live at Plastic Dino Records". In Spring of 2024, Rye Valley released their first full-length studio album "Miss River" produced by Tuck Mindrum. Many guest appearances are on the album including Tyler Lobdell (Ray), Jon-o Yowell, Erik Diaz, Jen Maurer, and Leigh Ann Merrill. Since 2025, Rye Valley has released two singles "Provoked" and "Seasons" featuring the Chrissy Strong Band. Their music can be found on all streaming platforms.
