The sold-out NYE show was a night of high-energy homegrown rock and roll. The band includes Jackson Bladen (keyboards), Marty Miller (bass), Tyler Brindel (drums), and “Spike” Boone (sax). The band rocked through a gritty and sweaty two sets of music, featuring a large dose of Bladen originals and a mix of get-on-your-feet rock and roll covers.

“Cumberland Lake” tells the tale of a boat trip to Lake Cumberland, Kentucky, and is “mostly true” according to Bladen, with some of the names changed “to protect the guilty.” For several years, Bladen has taken a three-day trip to Lake Cumberland, both vacationing and performing for dozens of boaters who tie together for one of his performances. The song tells that story.

Bladen an Inaugural Inductee as a Musician into the Madison Creative Hall of Fame

At a sold-out Christmas Music Showcase at The Red Bicycle Hall in December 2022, Rusty Bladen was given the surprise honor of being inducted into the Madison 2022 Creative Hall Of Fame as a musician. Bladen and longtime Madison country artist Don Youngblood were the inaugural honorees for the musicians part of the Hall of Fame in Madison, Indiana.

Rusty, who was born in Madison and has been there his entire life, started playing music as a teen, graduated to cover bands into his 20s before embarking on what has been a nearly 40-year solo career, playing his music – a brand he calls “homegrown rock and roll” – in the clubs, summer festivals, private parties and assorted venues throughout the Midwest, concentrating his live schedule to dates mostly in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Bladen has released nine albums, played nearly 5,000 shows in his career, and has penned more than 50 original songs. He continues to play live, booking more than 100 shows a year.

“I’m thankful for everyone who showed up and supported local music and a good cause, including Mayor Bob Courtney,” Rusty said of the evening. “The night was unforgettable It was quite overwhelming.”

During the night Rusty shared the stage with musicians and friends Rob Houze, Bill Lancton, Jimmy Davis, Chris Watson, Benjamin Reindollar, Nick Cicenas, Rick Bennett, and Jordan Antoine Wilson.
He also played a holiday music rock and roll set with his Rusty Bladen and the Living Daylights bandmembers Marty Miller, Brad Canaday, Jackson Bladen, and Michael Fortunato.”
