The Rusted Strings Band

The Rusted Strings Band is a Northwest Indiana group built around Scott Goddard on rhythm guitar and vocals and Danna Goddard on vocals; a 2023 soundboard recording from Avenue 912 in Griffith lists Michael Wald on lead guitar, Greg Decker on drums, Andrew Stump on keys, Tony McCollough on saxophone and Terry McGaha on bass. They bill themselves as a grateful-jam-original-classic-rock band, and their sets mix Grateful Dead with The Band, Dylan and Fleetwood Mac alongside originals like 'Fragile Feathers,' often strung together in medleys. Their circuit is the Region — Avenue 912 and Wildrose Brewing in Griffith plus rooms in Crown Point and Valparaiso.
