As good as listening to the radio (or your favorite MP3 collection)
...with the fun of a frat party!
Originating in Akron, Ohio, Tony Rio & Relentless has been playing clubs, fairs and concerts for over ten years. This time's been spent perfecting their energetic and entertaining performance. They have evolved into one of the hottest and hardest working bands on the circuit.
Tony and the guys are Nashville-quality musicians with an uncanny and infectious ability to ALWAYS have a real good time! When set to task to critique them, it would seem that they really have it all.
~Great music ...check.
~Talented musicians ...check.
~Fun stage show ...check.
~An energetic, good-looking frontman ...check
~Down-to-earth guys who aren't afraid to 'mix it up' with the crowd before, during and after the show ...double-check!
What more could you want! As is proven by being voted the "Best Country Band in NE Ohio" multiple times, Relentless is the real deal!
The cover tunes they play are performed as good as (and sometimes better than!) the original recordings. Their original songs sound like they were picked fresh out of today's "Top 10" country charts. Speaking of which, Relentless is starting to get airplay! They are now recording under indie label, Alive Records. Their song, "Girl of my Dreams", is in regular rotation on 98.3 "The Bull" (in the Cleveland area). **as of this writing it is in the Top 10 most requested** The guys are also hard at work on their fourth album and hoping to have it released by the fall of 2007.
Having played with Toby Keith, Diamond Rio, Aaron Tippin, Lee Greenwood, Wynonna, Lonestar and countless other national acts AND having been voted the "Best Country Band in NE Ohio", Tony Rio & Relentless provides a great variety of country and country-rock hits, as well as their own highly acclaimed originals. And for great entertainment, Tony Rio is an electric performer, driven by the desire to wring every last drop of excitement from the crowd.
From Akron to Nashville and all points in between,
it just doesn't get any better than Tony Rio & Relentless!
