Dirty Blanket have toured the American Northeast, making names for themselves on festival circuits and in cities like New York, DC, Baltimore, Burlington, and beyond. To date, they've shared stages with some of the highest profile names in bluegrass including Billy Strings, The Del McCoury Band, The Infamous String Dusters, Jeff Austin Band, Kitchen Dwellers and more. The seeds of Dirty Blanket were planted in 2013 at the meeting of guitarist Max Flansburg and singer/songwriter Kevin O'Leary. Combining an array of influence with a passion for creating original music, the two began playing as an acoustic duo, utilizing what free time their other musical projects allowed to share their latest material with audiences across Upstate NY. Over the following years, regional musicians Richie Colf and Joel Fedkiw, along with some of the best upright bassists in the NY region, rounded out the band lineup as the 5-piece, fast-paced, alternative improvisational bluegrass band they are today. 

The Rollin' Rust is a folk rock group from the foothills of Central New York. Led by singer-songwriter James VanDeuson, The Rollin' Rust celebrates the distinguished writing style of a vagabond folk artist. Joined by his talented friends and bandmates, Jim Hearn (lead guitarist) Kyle Dennis, (percussion/vocals) and newest member, Nash Robb (upright/elec. bass and vocals) James' songs now have a distinct edginess to them, sounding almost as if you took a classic folk song and corrupted its mind with years of crazed festivals and long nights in smoky southern bar rooms.  The Rollin' Rust boys have been playing music together since they were just teenagers, crafting a truly unique sound that could only be formed by such long-lasting friendship and intimate evenings with the highway itself.  In 2023 the boys performed in 45 cities, sharing festival lineups with Watchhouse (previously Mandolin Orange) Ryan Montbleau, Cabinet, Fireside Collective, Donna The Buffalo, Driftwood and many others. Throughout their breakout year, they also had the opportunity to open for 10x Grammy-nominee Brandy Clark, Donna The Buffalo, Driftwood, Pressing Strings, Argonaut & Wasp, Hunter Root and others. While enjoying their never-ending travels, The Rollin' Rust's debut album, "Road Rats" was nominated for Best Americana Album at the SAMMY Awards in Syracuse, NY.
