Rusty Wier has always been the consummate entertainer. He will engage you, charm you, make you think, and make you cry; but the “money-back guarantee” is … he will make you smile.

Rusty was born in Corpus Christi, but has called Austin home for many years. At the age of three, while riding his imaginary horse in the aisles to the strains of an impromptu “William Tell Overture” from the piano player and laughter from the patrons of his dad’s restaurant in downtown Austin, Rusty discovered an ability to make people smile.

Despite an early curfew, Rusty began performing professionally at the age of thirteen and within a few years discovered the blues clubs of East Austin. Rusty absorbed the sounds of BB King, Bobby Blue Bland, or other blues legends that might be playing at Charlie’s Playhouse or other hot and sweaty, soul-filled haunts on the east side.

After more than ten years of rock bands, Rusty gained national prominence during the legendary “Outlaw “ era. Rusty shared stages and entertained with Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Amazing Rhythm Aces, Atlantic Rhythm Section, Pure Prairie League, Gatemouth Brown, Steve Fromholz, Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck, BW Stevenson, Waylon Jennings, Asleep at the Wheel, Jerry Jeff Walker, Commander Cody, Doug Kershaw, Ray Charles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers and even had George Strait opening shows for him.

Rusty signed his first recording contract with ABC Records and went on to record for 20th Century and Columbia Records. Rusty’s recordings produced nine charged singles and the crowd-pleasing “Don’t It Make You Wanna Dance”. This song was later covered by eight major artists from around the world including Chris LeDoux, Barbara Mandrell and Jerry Jeff Walker.

Bonnie Raitt’s recording of the song for the movie and soundtrack album “Urban Cowboy” earned Rusty a Double Platinum Album certifying over two million in sales.

Rusty Wier is a Texas troubadour. He writes songs, sings and tells stories. He is backed by a tight band of great musicians. Rusty enjoys loyal followers everywhere he goes, including Europe, and continues to perform more than 150 dates every year. He has made numerous appearances on Austin City Limits and the Nashville Network Series, The Texas Connection. He has appeared in well-known television and radio campaigns for McDonald’s, Lone Star Beer, the City of Austin, House of Jeans and many others. His music video “Lover of the Other Side of the Hill” aired on the CMT Network. Recording “Are We There Yet? includes four songs co-written with his two sons, Bon and Coby Wier, who prove their outstanding ability as musicians.

Rusty wrote or co-wrote most of the material for the nine albums he has released. He recently released his newest CD "I Stood Up" in which Wier co-produced with Larry Nye. Other releases such as "Stoned, Slow, Rugged", "Black Hat Saloon" and "Stacked Deck" are also now available through this website.

His devotion to his live performances and his recordings is filled with his determination to make you keep on smiling and even smile a lot more! Wier currently draws on a wide variety of music available in the Austin area; country, blues, rock, and Latin rhythms and performs every week in Austin at the Saxon Pub and Gino's. Be sure to catch his show if you're in the area

Rusty and Paige


I took my daughter to the benefit held in Rockett, Texas, back in the spring for Rusty. At 13 years old she thought he was the coolest singer of all time. I bought her a T-shirt and he autographed it for her. It's funny to see a 13 year old girl so proud of something and talk about a man whom she got to see perform once, yet thought he was awesome. She wears that shirt proudly. I picked her up from school on that day and gave her the sad news about Rusty passing away...tears filled her eyes and she said well Heaven sure gained a great entertainer. Then she followed it by I am so glad I got to see him perform and meet him.
Rusty, You touched a lot lives with your fantastic personality and wonderful music. You truely will forever be a legend in Texas Country Music. See you on the other side.

Lana

Rusty,

It is just too hard to believe.

You were, are, a part of so many people's lives. 

Always a smile on your face and something good to say. 

You will not be forgotten.

Once the subject of Elvis was talked about by John Lennon...He is reported to have said "before Elvis there was nothing".  

I say this to you all...having lived in Austin, Texas for 50 years...and having grown up in the original Austin music scene almost since it's inception....

In Austin, Texas....before Rusty Wier....there was nothing.

Goodbye compadre....thank you for everything...I would never have become who I am in music and life if it weren't for your kindness and support, beginning the moment we met, when I was just a little 11 year old kid with a dream...you helped make that dream come true.

Allen and I were on our way back home from MD Anderson when we heard about Rusty. Allen and Rusty spent a lot of time on the phone comparing notes on treatment. He did more than anyone to help him through it all. He was a great friend and we will miss him.
