   About The Fustics
With members originally hailing from all over the United States, this North Carolina-based band draws from diverse backgrounds and experiences to create a sound that is truly American. Singer / songwriter Brad Heller brings his Southwestern roots to the forefront with politically and socially-charged songs about life, love, injustice, and the state-of-things. Calloway Ritch's gritty and bluesy guitar work add a distinct texture, and sophisticated humbleness to the mix. And add the dynamic rhythm section of Paul Castagno and Ron Pifer, and you have a sound that is as indefinable as it is intriguing. Voted Wilmington's "Best Original Rock Band" The Fustics continue to expand their audience with incessant regional touring, and constant studio recordings.
