Cool Jump Blues & Wild Rockabilly!
A new band has formed, The "Rusty Pinto Combo", specializing in 1940s and 1950s jump blues and rockabilly.
After six years of playing as Rusty and the Dragstrip Trio, with weekly gigs at the Mustang Bar (Perth, Western Australia), two successful tours of the U.S.A. (playing the famous Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender each time), numerous festivals, and private functions around Australia, the band finished up in May 2007.
Still full of the same raw energy, enthusiasm, and with a broader range of music, The Rusty Pinto Combo will not disappoint Rusty and the Dragstrip Trio fans.
Playing original versions of 1950s rock'n'roll songs, 1940s jump blues, and wild rockabilly to go crazy to, the Rusty Pinto Combo's sets have new original tunes and old favourite Rusty and the Dragstrip Trio songs.
Inspired by artists such as: Roy Brown, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Muddy Waters, Arthur Crudup, Wynonie Harris, Howlin' Wolf, Pat Cupp, Ray Charles, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, and the Johnny Burnette Trio, The Rusty Pinto Combo recreate and reinterpret music from a long-gone era.
Featuring: Mark Gordon (electric guitar), Richie Balazic (double bass), Matt Hanson (drums), Rusty Pinto (lead vocals & acoustic guitar), plus special guests.
The Rusty Pinto Combo has an original sound and style that will take you back to those old blues haunts and rockabilly honky tonks.
