The RuSTY PiCKuPS
High-Energy Classic Rockers and Americana on Overdrive
Howdy! We’re The Rusty Pickups!
The Rusty Pickups are a Central Illinois, Bloomington-Normal-based band playing High-Energy Classic Rock favorites with a side of Americana and Country from the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Our goal is to rock the favorite tunes for the most folks possible in our audiences.
Known for our Vocal Harmonies, Big Guitar Solos, and High-Energy show, we have been a staple of local hometown festivals, parties, and music venues. We definitely bring the fun, and we’d love to play for your upcoming event!
