About
Rust Belt Radio is a four-piece rock band that cut its teeth playing basement shows and bar patios around SIU. Big guitars, bigger choruses, and a rhythm section that doesn't let the room sit down. The band has shared bills with touring acts at The Meridian Music Hall, headlined the Sundown in the Shawnee local stage, and is releasing its second full-length record, "Static on the Dial," this fall. Expect 60–90 minute sets of originals with a couple of well-chosen covers.

Perfect opener — on time, tight 30-minute set, and they brought a crowd early. Easy advance.

Packed the room on a rainy Friday and sold a stack of shirts. Professional from load-in to last call. Rebooking them for the fall.
