Himself... (Rusty Bladen) with a hint of the above influences combined.
Real. That’s how you describe RUSTY BLADEN. Genuine homegrown country fried rock & roll with a kick that always leaves you wanting more. He is sincere and heartfelt with no apologies and no regrets.
“Ride That River,” the title track to Rusty’s most recent CD, is featured in the MGM major motion picture “MADISON” and recorded with John Mellencamp band members.
If you want to smile, cry, laugh, love or just party like crazy, come along for the ride with Rusty Bladen. You’ll hear a voice like no other. Rusty has taken his strongest musical influences and blended them into something unique, and true to himself and his voice.
If you call Rusty a Good Ol' Boy, he’ll just smile with pride. He was born and raised in Madison, Indiana, a quiet town on the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Louisville. His original songs reflect the importance of family values, good times and small town influences.
Rusty has played tons of clubs, fairs, festivals, private events and colleges around the Midwest and has an extremely loyal following.He's learned a lot along the way from his heroes and friends, but his live show, whether acoustic solo or full band, is pure RUSTY BLADEN...wide open rock and roll with lots of crowd participation and energy.
From the backyards, front porches and the stages of the Midwest, you can see and hear RUSTY BLADEN -- there’s no doubt you will come away making plans to see him again.
