Rusty Shipp is a rock band from Nashville. Their music is described as “a fusion of primarily grunge and surf rock styles that follows the band’s nautical theme and concept albums”. The band’s goal is “to make people feel inspired and empowered by creating the catchiest, most creative rock music on Planet Earth.”

Named after singer-songwriter Russ T. Shipp, the band was started in 2014 and grew to include AJ Newton on drums, Elijah Apperson on lead guitar, and Andrew “Speedy” Speed on bass.

In 2020, Rusty Shipp won Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and three other awards in the 2020 Jesus Freak Hideout Awards.
