Rusty Wilson started playing piano and guitar at age 5. His Great Grandmother, Mary Evelyn DuBois, taught him to play old gospel hymns such as “Go Down Moses” and “I’ll Fly Away”. He started playing professionally when he was 13 years old accompanying his uncle’s classic country band at family reunions, weddings and parties. At age 16 he played is first gig in a country nightclub, however this did not last long due to his age. His father, “an old club” drummer, showed him the ropes as he honed his skills sitting in at band practices. It seemed as though Rusty was born for the stage. After high school, Rusty joined the Army, which took him to Fort Campbell, KY, which is an hour from Nashville, TN. While in Nashville, Rusty sharpened his song writing skills with writers such as Brett Jones, Rick Tiger and Papa John Alee. Rusty won a talent contest at Goodfellow Air force Base, Texas. This opened the door for his participation as a performer in the United States Army Soldier Show. While touring the United States and Europe with this variety show, Rusty performed at the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, the National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and many other special events. After the Soldier show, the young man was assigned to a military unit in Korea. He quickly formed a band and began performing at bases and local establishments all over South Korea. He quickly earned a reputation as a dynamic performer that is at home on stage and a thrill to watch.
