Rust Belt Riviera:
Rust Belt Riviera is a Rock & Roll Band, based out of Cleveland’s old Collinwood neighborhood, with a penchant for writing catchy original songs about growing up and experiencing life in the Midwest. RBR was formed during a studio session in early 2022, where local Waterloo resident Scott Stettin and Cleveland native Tony Pappalardo were recording their song Changes (Like a Roller Coaster). Singer and multi-instrumentalist Jodi Dobos was asked to come in and provide vocal harmonies on the song. The results of the Demo were exactly what Scott & Tony had in mind for their new project, and Jodi was immediately asked to join the band full time. The rest of RBR quickly formed around the trio by adding Euclid drummer Sherri Carmody, along with Collinwood’s own Chris Kennedy on keyboard & Adam Tully on bass. The focus of Rustbelt Riviera is to create soulful, original songs that will have you grooving and singing along to anthems that pay homage to our great city.
