WHO
IS RUSTY BLADEN? A
crowd favorite of the Indiana music scene, Bladen
powers his shows with an atmosphere
of party songs, sing-alongs and a whole lot of fun. Rusty
has cultivated his longtime and extremely loyal
Midwestern fan base with memorable
band and his solo
performances.
WHAT'S
A SHOW LIKE?
Rusty's solo show is a high energy, freewheeling tour-de-force of
Bladen originals, songs from the radio, and some excellent hippie country-rock
tunes. The
band show is an exhibition
of what five guys holding onto
the same roots rock and roll
rope can pull an audience into.
WHAT
DO THEY SAY?
“Rusty
Bladen is an indispensable part
of the Muscatatuck River Music
Festival. His fans ahve
an expectation that he will put
on an exciting,
high energy show, and he never
fails to deliver. He wins
over fans who have primarily
come to see others." Hugh
Partridge,
Promoter
Muscatatuck River Music Festival
"My
bar was rockin' like it has rarely rocked before! Rusty Bladen has so much energy we had to put in
a new breaker system just for him. He's fun, talented,
and
really
works the room. Call the paramedics because
he knocks the crowd dead. I partied so hard I'm still taking aspirin.
I can't wait to see him again."
