Performing together since 1997, this duo consists of the husband and wife team of Danny and
Linda Trusty. A guitar player for 54 years, Danny plays mandolin, claw-hammer banjo,
fiddle, and many other instruments.  He was recently voted Guitar Player of the Year for
2009 by the membership of The Magnolia State Bluegrass Association.  Linda plays up-right
bass, guitar, and autoharp.  Both sing lead and harmony vocals and often switch parts on
many of their songs.  They play acoustically in traditional styles of old-time, blues, bluegrass,
gospel, and country.

The Trustys create their own arrangements and have a unique style that is popular and well
received at banquets, corporate gatherings, bluegrass festivals, fairs, churches, and various
other venues in the Southeastern United States.  They also perform numerous shows in prisons
in Mississippi and Louisiana, and work with Freedom Ministries.

The Trustys have released four CD’s, “Reaching for Your Hand” recorded in 2001,
“Creatures, Characters, & Celestial Celebrations” recorded in 2003, “Ain’t Nothing as Good
as You” recorded in 2005, and a Gospel Collection in 2008.  They are also talented
songwriters and several of their compositions are included in both their recordings and live
performances.  In addition to their weekly jobs, Danny as a banker and Linda as a first
grade teacher, the duo performs forty or more shows annually.

The Trustys are currently listed in The Mississippi Performing Artists Roster published by the
Mississippi Arts Commission, and were recently selected to be showcased on the Southern
Artistry Registry.  This registry spotlights achievements of artists who live and work in the
South and includes artists from the nine Southeastern states.
