Rio Grand was an American Texas Country group. Tommy Rennick (vocals, bass guitar), Danny Rivera (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, lap steel guitar, Dobro), and Fred Stallcup (lead guitar, vocals).[1] All four members were natives of the state of Texas. In addition, Tommy Rennick was previously a member of 37 South and the Allison Paige band. Fred Stallcup was previously a member of Lucious Funk.[2] Lance Leslie, formerly of South 65, was a fourth member.
In 2006, the group was signed to Asylum-Curb Records. Shortly afterward, their first single (titled "Kill Me Now") was released to radio, reaching a peak of 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Co-written by John Rich, Vicky McGehee and Anthony L. Smith, it received a positive rating from Deborah Evans Price of Billboard, who called it "promising".[3] The band released an album, Painted Pony, in 2010.
In 2012, Stallcup and Rivera found a second band called Sweetwater Rain, which is also signed with Curb.[4]
