about
About the Rusty Wright Band John Blueshammer from Blue Monday Monthly once described the band as “tighter’n a tutu on a sumo wrestler,” but this band is much more than that. They project non-stop exuberance and energy, and their engaging onstage chemistry and superb musicianship bring people to their feet immediately. They have been called “one of the most entertaining Blues bands in the country today.” (Steve Simon, Founder of the St. John Blues Festival and Bluzapalooza Armed Forces Entertainment tours) About 85% of the band’s repertoire consists of original, rock-tinged blues that has been described by the El Paso Times as “a smart collection of adrenalized modern blues that showcases not only Rusty Wright's considerable guitar chops but an obvious ability to fuse blues and rock in a way that draws from the former's traditions and the latter's high-voltage power.” Rusty, the band’s namesake and primary songwriter, has drawn on his family’s Southern roots and a wealth of Blues, Southern Rock and legendary Blues Rock influences to craft his uniquely ‘bluescentric’ sound that leans on duet-style songs and showcases his flamboyant guitar style. Wright has done an amazing job of creating a signature style and sound all his own that fuses naturally with whatever song it is applied to. The band's fourth album "This, That & the Other Thing" [Sadson Music 2013] made it’s debut at #5 on the Relix Magazine/Jambands.com airplay chart; #15 on the Roots Music Report Blues chart; #21
