Perfection

Rusty Cage was awesome! They were exactly what our party needed. They played a wonderful variety and some special requests. I’m pretty sure they played longer than we had paid for. Can’t wait to plan another party so we can have Rusty Cage back again! Thanks guys!
We are very grateful 🙏

Perfect for your event!

Rusty Cage has played our annual event three times. It always makes the crowd smile to hear familiar covers with their fun sound. You can’t help but get caught up in the music. When they can nail Pearl Jam and Dolly Parton, you know it’s going to be a fun evening. Plus, live music is always a treat!

Highly recommend having Rusty Cage play your next event. Their music is so fun - it’s near impossible not to smile and dance along when they play! Thank you, Rusty Cage!

The Real Deal — Book Them Before Someone Else Does

We first caught Rusty Cage at Kate’s Pub on St. Patrick’s Day and knew immediately they were the real deal — high energy, crowd-loving, and genuinely fun. When it came time to plan our company holiday party on the boat, hiring them was an easy call. They delivered exactly what we hoped for and then some, reading the room perfectly and even taking song requests that got everyone on their feet. If you’re looking for a band that shows up ready to make the night memorable, Rusty Cage is it. We’ll absolutely be booking them again.
