Rob Bellamy & The Rebel Hearts are a New England-bred country rock, Americana band, carving their own lane with grit, melody, and stories that hit home. Rooted in the cold-country landscapes of the Northeast, their sound blends rock energy with modern country edge — somewhere between blue-collar anthems and reflective Americana.
Frontman Rob Bellamy brings an uncommon backstory to the stage. A former professional hockey player drafted by the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, Bellamy spent seven years in the minor leagues before trading in the rink for a guitar and chasing a different kind of dream. That same discipline, fire, and resilience now fuel every show and every song.
The Rebel Hearts’ music is built on themes of identity, pride of place, redemption, and the fight to carve your own path. Their upcoming album Northern State of Mind captures that spirit — songs shaped by long winters, small towns, and the relentless drive to prove yourself. First single “Cold Country” sets the tone with driving guitars, cinematic tension, and a chorus that feels built for raised fists and packed rooms.
Known for high-energy live performances that feel both powerful and personal, Rob Bellamy & The Rebel Hearts have built a growing grassroots following across New England and beyond.
