Tommy Atwood is the Lead singer
and founder of the original RUSTLER BAND.
Rustler Band was founded in Western
Massachusetts on August 1991 and by 1993 was the top local Country band in the Pioneer Valley. It stayed that way for 5 years
until 1998 when the guys decided to just play weekends instead of five nights a week. With weddings, pig roasts and cookouts,
Rustler sometimes played seven shows in any given week. Holding most of their popularity right up until October
2002, the band dismantled to take a much needed break. Now with two original Rustler members, Tom and Dave and veteran
Rustler, Gary, the band is back with the sound that the fans have always loved.
Rustler has always specialized in the
raw, outlaw style of country both classic and contemporary. Tom, mostly known for his Waylon Jennings style of playing and
singing has always tried to keep the band grounded with the roots of country music. But never be surprised when they play
something out of the box!
