// About

The Rusty Frets are a rising American reggae band from Bend, Oregon, serving feel-good reggae built for a packed dance floor. Formed in 2023, the band quickly gained momentum with charting singles "Tide Keeps Rising," "No One," and "Swervy," earning spots on the iTunes Reggae Top 100.

Known for high-energy live shows, they have headlined regional festivals including Little Woody Fest and Bend's Summer, Fall, and Winter Fests, appeared at the Oregon and Boise Reggae Festivals, and shared stages with national acts including Julian Marley, Kash'd Out, Kyle Smith, and Sensamotion. Their 2024 single "Swervy" features G. Love & Special Sauce. In February 2025 they were direct support for Afroman at Hayden Homes Amphitheater for Bend WinterFest, and their music now reaches listeners across the US, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Germany. A full-length studio album lands in 2026.
