Rusty is truly an eclectic musician. Based in Lakeland Florida, he is an instrumentalist, arranger and whistler who has enjoyed an extremely successful career as a Trumpeter in the Florida area, having played on hundreds of recordings. When asked how he got started whistling, he said “when I was younger I noticed I was getting on people's nerves whistling, and soon I was whistling, to everything. The vibrato came to me quite naturally, but not until I was older at some point I knew I was a 'real' whistler." Since a few people in the music business knew what I could do, I did have some opportunities to whistle on various other projects, but I never really considered 'promoting' myself as a whistler. Finally, I decided to make a demo. It started out with a few songs, and for a demo, that would have been enough. But the recording process was so much fun I kept coming up with new material. You only need a few songs to show what you can do --- so by the time I had seven or eight, it occurred to me that I was making a CD. Then I decided to add more. Rusty performs at corporate functions, classical concerts, and intimate private gigs. Check him out; give him a call;
