Eagles by Rusty Playground
Our latest single, “Eagles,” is a heartfelt tribute to the unforgettable magic of attending the Boats and Bluegrass festival together for the first time. The song captures the soul of the Mississippi River, where the sight of eagles soaring overhead served as the backdrop for nights that stretched into the early morning hours and the beginning of lifelong friendships. It is a reflection on that shared journey—the music, the community, and the spirit of discovery that continues to define the sound of Rusty Playground.
Lessons by Rusty Playground
Our debut single, “Lessons” reflects on the reality of life as a touring musician, chasing “show after show” and navigating trials when some days are simply harder than others. It’s a song about road-worn wisdom and the realization that it’s more about what you live for.
