Brad Heller has established himself as a credible force among current songwriters, whether with his backing band, The Fustics, or performing as an acoustic artist.  Honing his craft for over a decade and a half the North Carolina transplant has built a reputation as a thoughtful songsmith who tackles a wide range of personal and social issues.  Heller finds creative drive in honoring the diverse musical influences that inspired him, while never abandoning his own unique sound.

On his 2019 fifth full-length effort, The Sentence, Heller explores themes indicative of the middle-class experience as he continues to build his audience with constant touring and spirited live shows.  Voted Wilmington’s “Best Original Rock Band,” Brad Heller and the Fustics will be hitting the road in full force in the new year and beyond.

“…the sound of Heller and company is hard to pin down…A natural storyteller…complete with mellow acoustic rhythms and cutting electric riffs…likens his songwriting to that of Kentucky’s Chris Knight.” – Charleston City Paper

“They make honest to god rock and roll…at times sounding like The Jayhawks or even bigger bands like The Wallflowers…dramatic in the same way Van Morrison or Led Zeppelin can be in their quietest moment.” – Southeast Performer

“…taking the legacy of Redheaded Stranger, Nebraska, Blood on the Tracks, and Son Volt’s Trace in their own hands and hearts.” – Grayson Currin, Independent Weekly
