Ruston is a brilliant artist and performer. His songs are thought provoking about the human experience. While some of the material comes from dark and painful experiences, he has a way of evoking a feeling of hope and optimism. If you like music with a little emotional depth to it, definitely try him out. I must have listened to the Weakness 50 times the first month it came out.
Some favorite random Ruston lyrics:
"Looking at the flowers coming up from the ground, through all of the rubble of everything that I tore down."
"I'm either shooting a bullseye or trying to miss."
"And I remember what TK said: You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"

Phenomenal performer. So much talent and so young still. Enthusiasm exuded in every conversation with the audience. And his musical skills on various instruments along with his strong vocals AND he wrote the songs!!! AMAZING.
The intimate venue only added to the experience.
Definitely will Hear his name in the future. And will travel to see him.
Phoenix, AZ@Crescent Ballroom

An outstanding performer and an excellent musician. He blew away my expectations. The openers were super talented and I can see them having a long career together. Great going writers and good dudes. The venue was really nice and the bar had a solid beer selection and good cocktails too!

About Ruston Kelly
Before setting to work on his third album, Ruston Kelly moved out of his Nashville home and into an old Victorian bungalow in the small Tennessee town of Portland, then spent months on end in deliberate solitude. As he busied himself with remodeling his house and tearing through a stack of John Steinbeck novels, the South Carolina-born singer/songwriter began processing a number of life-altering changes he’d endured over the past year, including a very public divorce as well as major upheaval in his immediate family. “I felt a real need to understand myself a little better, and to rediscover the true foundation of who I am,” says Kelly, who candidly detailed his struggle with drug addiction on his 2018 full-length debut Dying Star. Pushing forward with the intensely self-aware truth-telling he’s always brought to his music, Kelly soon immersed himself in the making of The Weakness: a blisteringly honest but profoundly hopeful album that ultimately reveals our vast potential to create strength and beauty from the most painful of experiences. Made with producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Nate Mercereau (Sharon Van Etten, Leon Bridges, Maggie Rogers), The Weakness is a bold departure from the elegant simplicity of his first two albums. The resulting body of work matches its kaleidoscopic sound with some of Kelly’s most illuminating material to date.
