"Rusty Johnson is a musicians delight!  His authentic open sound is filled with musicianship and personality. Technically, he uses superb sensibility in his performance to compliment the most challenging venues.  When Rusty plays you realize you are hearing greatness in the making.  Whether performing as a soloist or an accompaniment, Rusty displays well-honed taste and acumen, while simultaneously arousing the soul.  I have enjoyed his musical flair while performing and listening.  You will too! "

"The moment Rusty plays even just a few notes, you can feel an entire crowd buzz with energy. But what makes Rusty special is the guy himself. The caring he has for people -- for his audience and guest performers, but especially for fellow foster kids -- shines through in all he does, and his passion is inspiring."
