Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Rusty Ends Rusty Ends is the real deal—a living bridge between the gritty rock and blues of the 1950s and ’60s and the ever-evolving sounds of the 21st century. He cut his teeth as a teenager playing the rough bars and taverns along Dixie Highway, from Louisville to Fort Knox. His early audiences were a wild mix of soldiers, bikers, hustlers, laborers, and working girls—a rowdy, unpredictable crowd that demanded music with soul, grit, and a beat that could keep the topless dancers moving. To survive in those rooms, a band had to play everything—blues, soul, and country—and make it groove. http://www.makingascene.org…

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Scarlet Goodbye The Scarlet Goodbye is what happens when two seasoned Minnesota musicians—Dan Murphy and Jeff Arundel—cross creative paths and spark something unexpected. Dan, known for his work with alt-rock legends Soul Asylum and Golden Smog, met Jeff, a smooth-voiced singer-songwriter and producer, by chance. That meeting led them to an attic studio in St. Paul, where they started writing and recording together. The result was Hopes Eternal, a record that blends gritty rock and thoughtful Americana—think somewhere between the Rolling Stones and Townes Van Zandt. The album dropped in 2023 on The Label Group/Universal and quickly became one of the most talked-about releases of the year, earning rave reviews and fueling a run of standout shows across the Midwest. http://www.makingascene.org…
