Rusty Pinto | 8.45pm

Rusty Pinto has always taken his musical inspiration from the early days of Rockabilly music. Now he has delved deeper, back to the roots of American rhythm and blues.
Playing vintage artists such as Muddy Waters, Elmore and Ike Turner interlaced with R&B versions of his own songs, an evening with Rusty & The Blue Flames is a retrospective journey into the foundations of popular music today.
