The Rust Belt Boys are a traditional, four piece, rockabilly band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin who play a superb blend of jumped up, hillbilly rock. Classic all sense of the word rockabilly including stand-up bass, 50’s style and sound, they are Milwaukee’s version of such poplar bands such as the Stray Cats and early Elvis sounds! This high energy act has delighted rockabilly fans at many cool, eclectic bars and taverns in and around Wisconsin, the Midwest, and across the country since 1998. The band presents tremendous live shows, featuring original material punctuated by the boys high toned harmonies and masterful musicianship.

Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating back to the early 1950s in the United States, especially the South. As a genre it blends the sound of Western musical styles and that of rhythm and blues, leading to what is considered “classic” rock and roll. Elvis Presley’s earliest music could be considered rockabilly, as could the music of Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Bill Haley and the Comets.
