AcoustiRats is an acoustic duo dedicated to stripping Good Rats classics down to their raw, essential form.

Fronted by Stefan Marchello, lead singer and 36-year veteran of the Good Rats, alongside guitarist Matt McCarthy, who also did a run on guitar with the band. Between them, they’ve got decades of Good Rats DNA in their blood.

After years of playing these songs loud and electric, Stefan and Matt are thrilled to break them down to the bare bones. No frills, no amps cranked to 11 — just voice, acoustic guitar, and the songwriting that made the Good Rats legendary.

It’s the same attitude and stories fans know, delivered in a raw, intimate format. For diehard Good Rats fans, it’s a new way to hear the classics. For first-timers, it’s proof that great songwriting doesn’t need to be loud to hit hard.
