RUSTY ROOTS
At the end of 2004 five young blues musicians found each
other trough different ways. At the first rehearsal they all noticed that there
was something special
in the air. And they were not alone, Rusty Roots ...a beginning band, got the honor to kick of the famous 2005 BRBF edition, to the great astonishment of friend and enemy, to bear in mind that the band was only six months young ... well, it will be a friends service. But nothing was further from the truth, after more than a excellent performance,the boys were catapulted to the top of the Belgian blues scene.
The growth made by Rusty Roots, resulted in the crystallization of their first disc CD "100 Miles" in 2005. Inexperienced as a studio musician they still managed to record a nice swing, West Coast Blues CD, produced by none other than Marc Thijs.
In 2008 they returned to the Artsound Studio to record their second full album Electrified. The album was wildly received by the press and reached the playlists of several radio stations, even in California. Meanwhile
Their third full album "Something Ain't Right" is canned under the all-seeing eye of Marc "TEE" Thijs once again. The album contains 10 pearls of own making, and according to Rusty Roots their humble opinion its the best they have achieved so far. According to Walter "DR. Boogie" De Paduwa Rusty Roots has only just been born! Blues, roots, soul, rock, reggae, ... you can expect it all on the new record !As you can
