Giving Back
Those who know Rusty agree: his heart for others is as big as his love for music. There are many musicians who show love and care for others by donating their time and talents to worthy causes through performing - and Rusty is one of them. Often his giving back is around his passions, such as patriotic ventures & support for military personnel, honoring the legacy of other musicians, his own community and his own family roots, such as his performances at and support for Farm Aid as his own grandfather was a farmer. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as his father has the same type of heart for others. (photos to the right show Rusty performing at Farm Aid in Lincoln, Nebraska, and with Willie Nelson at Farm Aid 2 in Austin, TX).
Rusty has recently performed at several special (not-for-profit) events, which are detailed below.
