RustRiders "High Life"

RustRiders are a Los Angeles country-rock trio made up of Ryan Curtis, Victoria Renee, and Jon “Lovebone” Gus. Built on three-part harmonies, big hooks, and the kind of sound that happens when modern country crashes head-on into classic rock and roll, the band brings together the heart of Luke Combs, the edge of Eric Church, and the harmony-driven spirit of Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, with a little dirt under the fingernails.

RustRiders recently signed a production deal with Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, where they recorded their debut seven-song EP, Iron Blood and Rust. Their first single, “High Life,” releases June 26 on all DSPs and will lead a full rollout of new singles every 6 to 8 weeks.

The band is targeting country radio first, while also pursuing Americana, rock, college, internet, and independent stations that support hook-driven, high-energy songs with real guitars and real vocals. The “High Life” campaign includes multiple lo-fi music videos releasing every two weeks, a larger official music video planned 5 to 6 weeks after release, podcast appearances, press outreach, heavy social media posting, behind-the-scenes content, performance clips, and fan-list growth through therustriders.com.

Upcoming live dates include a Los Angeles show on July 7, additional dates currently being booked, and a major performance for a 4,000-person military audience in Tampa Bay on September 23.

RustRiders were recently featured in We Are The Mighty in an article about Army veteran and filmmaker Ryan Curtis stepping into music in his 40s. The story captures the spirit behind the band: reinvention, second chances, and going full send before regret gets a vote.
