Taking care of our neighbors is our number one priority at The Rust, especially given the current global shutdown. With public events and gatherings cancelled for the time being, we have been working hard to keep bringing new opportunities to artists, and find ways to continue bringing quality content to our community.
Join us online on Friday, April 3rd, for the first installment of the Featherbed Sessions, a new live stream series featuring curated audiovisual experiences enjoyable from the most comfortable spot in your home. Session 1 will feature some Rust favorites including MALAKAI, Thought Process, and Pheel. Follow The Rust Music on Twitch to keep up with all of our live streams!
With increased time at home, now is also a great time to hone in on new and existing skills! We recently launched a new program, The Rust Education Network, intended to bring together up and coming producers and musicians with seasoned pros to share their experience and knowledge. We are happy to offer private 1-on-1 lessons in music production, performance, and technology taught by some of our talented community members and labelmates.

Facebook Event
The Rust Music on Twitch.tv
This live streaming event is a benefit for artists in need of assitenace during the COVID19 crisis. All donations will be distributed among the performers.
Please consider donating here.
While many of the artists in our community depend on public gatherings for much of their income, there are a number of other ways you can help support them through this difficult period.
Buy Music & Merch!
This is the obvious one, but buying music and merch are two of the most direct ways to support the artists you love and keep them able to do what they do.
Hire Artists!
Many of the artists we work with have a plethora of skills to offer ranging from music education to mastering to graphic design.
Listen, Follow, Share!
Finally, stream your favorite artists, follow them on social media and streaming platforms, share their music with friends!
