💥 The River Rats Festival’s June 30th headliner, Antonio Larosa! You will not want to miss this show 🎸🔥
Antonio Larosa is a country-rock and roots artist whose music blends the grit of blues, the soul of vintage rock, and the storytelling of classic country. With a voice that channels the spirit of Elvis Presley and the emotional weight of Chris Stapleton, Larosa creates songs that are heartfelt, lived-in, and unapologetically honest. Raised in Vancouver, BC, Larosa was drawn to the music of Johnny Cash, The Allman Brothers, BB King, and Roy Orbison from a young age. His music reflects those roots: raw, rhythmic, and filled with sincerity, but filtered through his own lens and life experiences.
After years of cutting his teeth on stages across Western Canada, he’s developed a reputation for his electric live shows, where blistering guitar work and vulnerable lyricism meet. In 2023 and 2025, Larosa was awarded Roots Artist of the Year by the BC Country Music Association, a milestone that affirmed the impact of his music and the path he’s been carving independently. His songs have been featured on SiriusXM and on editorial playlists across Spotify and Amazon Music, and he continues to build a loyal audience through his performances and recordings.
Whether playing solo or backed by his band, Larosa brings grit, groove, and soul to every performance. His music doesn’t try to follow trends. It’s grounded in feel, truth, and a deep respect for the genre’s past, while pushing forward with his own distinct voice.
