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.

 

In 2025, the band is rolling out a series of live singles, offering fans a raw, unfiltered look at their music in its purest form. These releases showcase a different side of the band—gritty, stripped down, and alive with the energy of the stage.
