About us ...
“Blues falling’ down like hail
With a hellhound on my trail”
The Rusted Heart band is three Melbourne-based, seasoned musicians paying homage to the great blues musicians - Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and 60/s and 70's blues/rock pioneers such as Jimi Hendrix. Peter Green and the Allman Brothers. We also forge our own "new blues" originals.
