Northern Virginia's Country Music band is Rowdy Ace! And we play the music you want to hear. Rowdy Ace Band pays tribute to the music that built the country genre from the classics to 90's megahits, Y2Kountry to today's top 40. Our set lists are about boot stomping FUN and our shows are built to entertain!
Our goal is to bring the music and fun you love from Lower Broadway in Nashville to Northern Virginia, DC, and the surrounding area. We play music people know and enjoy and have a bunch of fun while we're doing it. Our approach is resonating around the area, as the band was voted "best of" for two years as a 2023 Loudoun Times Mirror "Finalist" and the 2022 Loudoun Times Mirror Best Local Band.
"This band has musicians that can play any music they want, but we choose Country because no matter if the songs were written in 1963 or 2023, there is fun, and real life, and stories you can identify with," says lead singer "Rowdy" Tolbert.
We've played all over the United States as individuals or with bands featured in venues of all sizes and types. We've opened for big-name acts and regional favorites. And we continue to be a top draw in the DC Country Music scene.
"This group is Unapologetically COUNTRY, but don't let that fool you; they will rock your crowd and keep everybody happy and dancing along!"
