March 18, 2026We 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.

Rusty Cage is a Pacific Northwest-based alt-country trio known for taking familiar songs and turning them into fresh, rootsy experiences. We mix heartfelt harmony with acoustic grit, creating stripped-down versions of songs that span decades and genres—always with a laid-back country feel. Think backyard jam session meets honky-tonk storytelling.
What We Sound Like: Low volume. High vibe. We bring a folksy charm to classics and modern hits alike. Influences range from Johnny Cash and The Eagles to Nirvana and Tom Petty. Our music invites toe-tapping, head-nodding, and unexpected singalongs.
Where We Play:
Wineries
Community events
Private parties (birthdays, bar mitzvahs, backyard BBQs)
Dive-Bars and breweries
Non-profit and fundraising events
What Makes Us Different: We keep it real. No backing tracks, no flashy effects. Just honest musicianship, warm energy, and songs that connect.

We can use your house PA system or we can bring our own (reasonable fee). We require two 120v outlets to run our gear. And as little as a 5’x6’ footprint
