RVR BIO
Rust Valley Revival are a modern rock & roll band with more than a hint of rhythm & blues to shake any soul to the core. Rooted in Western Pennsylvania, the quintet brings back timeless classics with their own hard-hitting, driving twist. Formed in early 2022, “RVR” has been turning heads and pleasing ears all over the Tri-State Area and beyond. Priding themselves on being “tight” as well as “energetic”, which are two words often thrown around by anyone who has had the pleasure to experience them live.
Known for their "two-guitar" attack led by Andrew Kubicek & Terry Engelman, this dynamic duo can turn up the heat with blistering leads or lay back and cool things down when you least expect it. Each also providing strong vocals and harmonies that will stand the hair on your neck straight up at any given time.
If that's not enough, you'd be hard-pressed to find a rhythm section better than Herm Staving, Richie Mannion & Cody Fritzley. Second to none, Herm holds down the low end with his fast fingers and incredibly smooth bass lines. There's a reason they call him "The Basses Daddy" as he's perfected his touch and playing with many bands throughout the area.
Richie joins the boys as the mastermind behind the keys as well as providing soaring vocals and also filling in on bass and guitar as needed. His musical background speaks for itself as he’s lent his talents to some of the area’s top acts over the years.
Last but not least is our newest addition to the band, Cody Fritzley who drives the beat to move your feet. Not only a beast behind the kit, but also probably the funniest member of the band. His infectious grooves round out the quintet that is RVR.
Covering music from the 60’s to more recent selections, RVR stays true to the original compositions with a little extra added attitude. Quickly making a name for themselves, the word of RVR has spread like wildfire as they set the stage to become one of the hottest rock-acts among the tri-state area. Buckle up, because Rust Valley Revival is “Live & Dangerous” and bringing good ol’ fashioned ass-kicking rock & roll to a town near you!
