About Us
Big Red Rawkit Riot, bringing their rawkin' straight out of the great plains! What began as a Rockabilly band in 2007 just for fun, has evolved into a group that performs and entertains at major car shows, special events and provides tour support for regional and national acts!
These guys can pull off classic 50's rock and roll, music by Rockabilly artists like Stray cats, Reverend Horton Heat and more. Mix in a bit of old school country and twang! There ya go!
