The Rollin' Rust

The Rollin' Rust is a folk rock group based out of the foothills of Central New York. Led by singer-songwriter James VanDeuson, The Rollin' Rust celebrates the distinguished writing style of a vagabond folk artist, incorporating elements of blues, bluegrass, roots, folk and country. Rollin' Rust tunes have a distinct originality to them; they'll be dropping you off somewhere between your favorite Willie Nelson song and the closet where your mother's rock-n-roll collection still lives... the one she thought she got rid of years ago. James is joined by his bandmates Jim Hearn (lead guitarist) Kyle Dennis, (drums/vocals), and Nash Robb, (upright/elec. bass and vocals) The Rollin' Rust tells the noble tale of a rambling group of young dreamers, unafraid to live out of vans, buses, and hotel rooms. Their polished performance, unmistakable camaraderie, and colorful lyricism tends to leave its mark on an audience... wherever they happen to end up for the night.​
