About Me

This country-rock ensemble from Saskatchewan has shocked audiences as far east as Moosomin and as far west as Calgary. Yes, they’ve traveled far but have never lost their Saskatchewan roots. Versed in the traditional sounds of country, blues and rock n’ roll, The Rusty Augers play a unique brand of prairie music. Their aim is to get the toes tappin’ and the hips swingin’ and, once and a while, the tears flowin’. They have recently completed their debut album, "Damn You Rusty Auger!", available at saskmade.com.
