Welcome to the web site for Boston-area drummer Rusty Crowe, available for live performances and studio sessions.
Currently the drummer in three of New England's premier bands Fighting Friday, Bad At Math and Gypzy Freaks, Rusty is also available for live gigs and studio sessions. He will bring his decades of stage and studio experience to your project, always striving to serve the song.
Originally from the Philadelphia, PA area, Rusty relocated to the Boston, MA suburbs (with a couple of years in New York, NY in between) and immediately jumped into the forefront of the music community by joining the band Moonshine.
When Moonshine dissolved a couple of years later, Fighting Friday was born in 2008, and has been Rusty's musical focus ever since. Performing live primarily as a cover band, and releasing original music as well, Fighting Friday has garnered a reputation as being one of the most talented, energetic, tight and entertaining bands on the circuit.
Rusty also joined Bad At Math, a new cover band debuting in 2023 featuring members of Fighting Friday and Jimmy's Down. Never one to sit still, Rusty is also a founding member of Gypzy Freaks, returning to his roots playing the sleaziest brand of '70s, '80s and '90s hard rock. Rusty also fills in with numerous bands, including Off The Record, Deja Voodoo, Iron Tiger, Hell On Heels, Inner Child, and Josh David & The Funeral Puppets to round out his schedule.
Playing drums is Rusty's passion. Being able to pursue that passion with incredibly gifted musicians, who also happen to be great friends, is a blessing.
