Short Bio
Dusty Rust makes country music with grit, swing, and barroom mileage. Raised in Lewiston, Idaho and sharpened in Kansas City, he built his name on clubs, road work, and a long Thursday residency at Westport Saloon rather than polish and packaging.
That live run led to shared bills with artists including Dale Watson, Whitey Morgan, Luke Bell, Hellbound Glory, JB Beverly, and The Calamity Cubes, along with a 2017 Ameripolitan Award nomination. The catalog now stretches across four full-length releases and into the latest singles, including The Wagon Wheel and If You're Gonna Leave Me.
