Rio Grand was a Texas-based country music ensemble consisting of Lance Leslie (harmonica, vocals), Tommy Rennick (vocals, bass guitar), Danny Rivera (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, lap steel guitar, Dobro), and Fred Stallcup (lead guitar, vocals). Each member hailed from Texas. Prior to Rio Grand, Rennick performed with 37 South and the Allison Paige band, Stallcup had been part of Lucious Funk, and Leslie was a former member of South 65.
The group secured a recording contract with Asylum-Curb Records in 2006. Their initial single, "Kill Me Now," which was co-written by John Rich, Vicky McGehee, and Anthony L. Smith, achieved a peak position of number 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and received favorable critiques from Billboard. In 2010, Rio Grand released their album titled Painted Pony.
Following this period, in 2012, Stallcup and Rivera went on to create another band named Sweetwater Rain, which also signed with Curb.
