At the end of 2004 five young blues musicians found each other through different ways but with only one gaol, creating blues music with heart and soul. They started rehearsing together and hit it off right away. Their mutual love for music from: “T-Bone, Lowell Fulson, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Louis Jordan”, to name a few, made it easy to develop an arousing set in only a short period of time.
After existing only six months, they already received the honour to kick of the Belgium rhythm and blues festival, one of the biggest festivals in Europe. From that day forward, Rusty Roots has become one of Belgium’s finest blues bands, killing stages all over the place. And thanks to their enthusiastic and passionate live performances, they are determent to stay at the top.
After their successful debut album “100 Miles” in 2005 recorded together with former sax player Steven Scheelen, they headed back to the studio in 2008 to record their second full album “Electrified” together with their newest member JJ Louis on Hammond B3. The incredible talented Mark TEE produced both albums and lifted Rusty Roots up to a completely new level. Thanks to the high quality of the second album, the band has drawn the attention of “Naked Productions” and signed on.
The album “100 Miles” takes you on a journey of swing and west coast blues and the new album “Electrified” will certainly touch your soul. An amazing guitar player, an incredible Hammond player, a firm rhythm section and a brilliant front man will make you kick your feet all over the dance floor.
So that’s it, keep your ears and eyes open for some authentic roots and soul blues and come check out Rusty Roots.
