Rusty Zinn

Rusty Zinn may have been born and raised in California but like Steve Freund he's a veteran of the Chicago blues scene, and is now a Bay Area regular. He early on apprenticed to Luther Tucker and later backed both Kim Wilson and Mark Hummel. His chops and tone (and wardrobe) are those of someone far more grizzled than Rusty, who was born, get this -- in 1970. Foocker's like 32 years old.

His Alligator CD, The Chill, features artists including Elvin Bishop. Rusty still occasionally makes it to The Saloon once in a while on occasion every now and again...
