Rio Grand was an American Texas Country group. Tommy Rennick (vocals, bass guitar), Danny Rivera (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, lap steel guitar, Dobro), and Fred Stallcup (lead guitar, vocals). All four members were natives of the state of Texas. In addition, Tommy Rennick was previously a member of 37 South and the Allison Paige band. Fred Stallcup was previously a member of Lucious Funk. Lance Leslie, formerly of South 65, was a fourth member.

In 2006, the group was signed to Asylum-Curb Records. Shortly afterward, their first single (titled "Kill Me Now") was released to radio, reaching a peak of 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Co-written by John Rich, Vicky McGehee and Anthony L. Smith, it received a positive rating from Deborah Evans Price of Billboard, who called it "promising". The band released an album, Painted Pony, in 2010.

In 2012, Stallcup and Rivera found a second band called Sweetwater Rain, which is also signed with Curb.
