About Me

The Rusty Thimbles blend the past 100 years of American tradition into their own brand of raucous acoustic music. The Grand Rapids three-piece use upright bass, kazoo, washboard, and other instruments to put their stamp on traditional, original, and popular material.

Fans of Old Crow Medicine Show and the Asylum Street Spankers should not miss the next performance by this Newgrass-Dixieland-jug band-rockabilly group.



Some of the bands that we have enjoyed covering include but are certainly not limited to: Muddy Waters (Ann Cole), Pink Floyd, Queen, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Old & In The Way, Dusty Springfield, Ella Fitzgerald, The Cars, Nine Inch Nails, Paul Simon, Alice In Chains, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Prince, Green Day & More!! You never know what we might pull out of our hats!
