Hey Rusty is the songwriting project of Limerick musician and DIY LK conspirator, John Ahern (FONDA, Scenes). A combination of jangling 12 String guitar riffs and ear-worm vocal melodies, Hey Rusty is an exercise in presenting earnest, thoughtfully crafted songs with a stripped back, lo-fi aestethic, reminiscent of 90s acts such as Elliott Smith, Pedro the Lion and Bright Eyes. Hey Rusty is in the midst of venturing out on tour around the country, opening for Junior Brother at three of his album launch gigs in Galway, Dublin and Clonakilty, as well as spots at Limerick's DIY LK.
