ABOUT

See my page "Rusty McRae and friends"...I've played electric lead guitar in country/ rock/blues bands in dance halls and honky tonks since 1980. Been band leader and sideman, and also played fiddle as second instrument. Very confident in backing vocals. I've had several years touring. Lived and worked in Nashville TN for 20 years and recently moved to central Oregon.
