Dusty Rust

Dusty Rust is a Neo Honky Tonk performer crawling out from under the hidden music hub of Kansas City, MO. His sound brings a lot of Twang to the urban streets and taverns where he's often heard, one such place being The Westport Saloon. Every Thursday night you can hear him paying homage to the greats the harken back to the golden days of country music, while all along sneaking his originals in between Merle Haggard covers.

Dusty Rust is a Neo Honky Tonk performer crawling out from under the hidden music hub of Kansas City, MO. His sound brings a lot of Twang to the urban streets and taverns where he's often heard, one such place being The Westport Saloon. Every Thursday night you can hear him paying homage to the greats the harken back to the golden days of country music, while all along sneaking his originals in between Merle Haggard covers. Interestingly enough, his relationship with country music has been a tumultuous one. Shunning the gloss of the modern day sound, Dusty recorded his first record on an old Tascam 388 reel to reel, thoroughly enjoying the sound of grainy decay of rust and magnets. After the album was completed, it was actually shelved for a full year while Dusty took a job playing guitar and touring the U.S. with The Johnson Creek Stranglers. Fresh off of performances at Middle Of The Map Music Festival and Westport Roots Fest in Kansas City, on July 18 Dusty Rust will release his sophomore effort ‘Kansas City Cowboy’ through various digital distribution and streaming sites as well as CD’s available online and at shows. In addition to the release of Kansas City Cowboy, Dusty will be touring with his Honky Tonk Trio including Chelsea Rae (Pataha Hiss, The Foxgloves) on Bass and Ike Goletz (Whiskey For the Lady, Western Automatic) on Drums.
