Welcome to Austin, Texas, home to those purveyors of the fine South Austin sound, the Rust Tones. Their debut record is "Tales From the Bar." Featuring guest turns by Guy Forsyth and Jon Ricketts, this full length effort chronicles the debauchery of the South Austin bar scene from an insider’s perspective. Some of the stories are true, some are not, but together they paint an authentic portrait of the night life south of the Colorado River.
Established in 2005, the Rust Tones are led by Patrick Donahue, previously known as one of Austin's most reliable hired guns. After years spent on guitar supporting major label acts (Dexter Freebish), indie label bands (Cadillac Voodoo Choir), and Austin veterans (George Devore), he now spearheads this outfit of roots music specialists. By mixing equal parts blues, country, and R & B, and adding just a twist of sardonic wit, the Rust Tones have created an organic, soulful sound that could only come from South Austin. See for yourself most any night in Austin...
