The Rollin' Rust is a folk rock group from the foothills of Central New York. Led by singer-songwriter James VanDeuson, The Rollin' Rust celebrates the distinguished writing style of a vagabond folk artist. Joined by his talented friends and bandmates, Jim Hearn (lead guitarist) Kyle Dennis, (percussion/vocals) and newest member, Nash Robb (upright/elec. bass and vocals) James' songs now have a distinct edginess to them, sounding almost as if you took a classic folk song and corrupted its mind with years of crazed festivals and long nights in smoky southern bar rooms.  The Rollin' Rust boys have been playing music together since they were just teenagers, crafting a truly unique sound that could only be formed by such long-lasting friendship and intimate evenings with the highway itself.​ 

 

In 2023 the boys performed at several notable music festivals, in 45 cities, sharing lineups with Watchhouse (previously Mandolin Orange) Ryan Montbleau, Cabinet, Fireside Collective, Donna The Buffalo, Driftwood and many others. Throughout their breakout year, they also had the opportunity to open for 17x Grammy-nominee Brandy Clark, Donna The Buffalo, Driftwood, Pressing Strings, Argonaut & Wasp, Hunter Root and others. While enjoying their never-ending travels, The Rollin' Rust's debut album, "Road Rats" was nominated for Best Americana Album at the SAMMY Awards in Syracuse, NY.

Welcome to 315archive! My name is Chris Fisher. Back in 2017 I started field recording a local band called The Black River (Mike Powell’s side project from his solo career). 
I started this page so I would have a streaming platform to play the shows and share them with my local live-music friends. It was originally called “Fish’s Picks”. I recently changed the name to 315archive. 
Long story short, I started asking other local bands in the 315 area code if I could record and post their shows. I now record and archive close to a dozen bands and their various side projects that include Mike Powell and The Echosound & his duo/solo projects, Count Blastula, The Rollin’ Rust, Grupo Pagan, Harmonic Dirt, Brian Thomas & The Strikes, The Old Main, Seth Becker, Nash Robb, Root Shock, Mark Nanni, Colin Aberdeen and various other bands and artists whenever they hit the 315. 
My love for local live music has turned into something really cool. Thanks for listening! Enjoy!!!!
