ABOUT

Rusty Henge is a five-piece rock band based in the DMV and West Virginia region, drawing from classic rock, blues, grunge, and Americana. The band combines a strong appreciation for the music that shaped them with original material that reflects their own songwriting and influences.

The lineup features Chris Tharp on guitar, Andrew Casertano on bass, Laura Lennon on keyboards, Hotrod on drums, and CassiRaye on lead vocals and multi-instrumental performance, including guitar, ukulele, and hand drum.

Their live sets span generations of rock, featuring music from Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, and other influential artists, alongside original songs from the band.

With a full five-piece arrangement and a repertoire that works across a range of settings, Rusty Henge performs at festivals, breweries, wineries, concert venues, private events, and other live music spaces throughout the DMV and surrounding region.

The band is also looking ahead to the studio, where they are excited to begin recording their first original release, “Gone Another Day.” The song marks the beginning of the band's next chapter as they develop and record more of their original material.

The band's focus is straightforward: strong musicianship, a well-rounded set, and a live performance that puts the music first.
