With their unique take on “Country influenced Rock Music” Rye Road is quickly gaining their place in the Independent music industry as a band that is passionate about music and true to their origins. Once a childhood dream of its original members it is now a reality to them and their adoring fans.
The band describes its sound and feel as “Wanted Dead or Alive” meets “Sweet Home Alabama” and resembles Texas' Red Dirt Country if you had to fit them into any category. Rye Roads believes in crossing barriers and moving mountains in the music industry. With musical influences ranging from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Bon Jovi, Rye Road is determined to continue being successful and being true to their roots which has led to their rapid rise on the Florida Country and Pop music charts.
Original member Pete Tamburin had a vision earlier in this youth to be a musician and create and play music that is a reflection of his style and musical taste. He played a part in the founding of “One Night Rodeo”, a country band that won The Next GAC Star on the GAC Network. After a brief stint with the group, he decided that it was time to branch off on his own which ultimately led to the formation of Rye Road. Today the band is composed of Pete Tamburin: Lead Vocals and Backing Vocals, Lead Guitar and Acoustic Guitar; Kirk Britto Drums and percussion; Tracy Lee Austin: Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Backing Vocals; Mack Black: Bass and Backing Vocals. The musical connection between these guys has been the force for their continued success.
March of 2008-2009 was a highly successful time for the group with them playing well over 200 shows, opening for over 20 national recording artists and the release of their first independent CD.
Future plans for Rye Road include increasing their efforts to build their fan base, branching out to new styles of music and heading back to the studio to record their sophomore effort. The playing chemistry between the members of Rye Road is undeniable. Now more so than ever, the band definitely understands each member's talents and strengths and believes there is nothing to hold them back, just motivation to reach the top.
