What to expect

I have my own sound system but can easily adapt to your setup. I can bring acoustic and electric guitars. I try to meet the needs of my audience and can range from quiet background music to loud electronic beats. I mix up originals and cover tunes and can vary my set list according to your needs.

About

Carl Rust is a retired public school educator. He is also a singer, songwriter and one half of the band The Rust Show. He has sung and played music almost all his life. He has released 3 solo albums, a band album with Crystal Blue Armadillo, and three albums with The Rust Show. He has 4 children and 9 grandchildren. He has loved Art since high school and has experimented with drawing, painting, photography, videography, filmmaking, collage and sculpture.

Additional booking notes

I have my own sound equipment. If I am using your system I need at least one microphone and one direct input for my guitar. For a fuller sound I can also plug in my electric guitar, electric bass, and computer for backing tracks. I also have various pedals but they do not need inputs. I would need from one to three electrical outlets depending on how many pieces I am bringing. I can play in lower light and don't really have any specific light requirements at this time.
