Free show
We are thrilled to welcome Brad Heller & The Fustics back to our stage!
Whether with his backing band, The Fustics, or performing as an acoustic artist, Brad Heller has established himself as a credible force among current songwriters. Honing his craft for over a decade and a half the Wilmington, North Carolina, transplant has built a reputation as a thoughtful songsmith who tackles a wide range of personal and social issues. Bouncing between a myriad of genres, Heller finds creative drive in honoring musical influences that inspired him, while never abandoning his own unique sound.
PRESS QUOTES:
“Chronicles the plight of the working man…gritty and gripping…a rough-hewn Rust Belt anthem cut from the same cloth as classics by Steve Earle, Jay Farrar, Greg McPherson, and Bruce Cockburn’s rockier moments…hits the sweet spot between folk rock and roots-punk.”
~ TINNITIST
“Heller wraps the inducing vulnerability of Vic Chesnutt and the grandiose Americana landscapes of Nashville’s most underrated troubadours…Cinematic, big sky crescendos.”
~ GLIDE MAGAZINE
“His sense of the order of things is apparent in every song he writes…Heller’s a world-class songwriter.”
~ THE BLUES HIGHWAY
“…Heller’s album, The Sentence, is evidence of his evolution as a socially-involved, profound songsmith…his most focused work, both musically and lyrically…fires on all cylinders from start to finish….seems to follow the mantra of Fogerty, Neil Young, Springsteen, and Mellencamp, showing us the heartland, the world of the working man….sets the scene and the emotion that any and everyone can connect to.”
