SPEAKEASY
by RUSTY & MAJA
THE PRODUCTION
SPEAKEASY is a playful look at memories from the wild days of our youth.How brief encounters lead us to unusual places and with a bravado seldom revealed, we attempt to outdo each other, perhaps exaggerating our contact with famous people. Interspersed along the ride are songs inspired by said connections.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Rusty & Maja first met in Sault Ste. Marie in the late 1960s. Both moved to Toronto and each established careers in music and performance. Rusty, worked mostly with Mary Margaret O'Hara, and Maja had a band and toured Canada as a performance artist. Over the years they occasionally performed together at the Mariposa Music Festival (Toronto), Wawa Music Festival, Rotary Festival (Sault Ste.Marie) and other venues in Toronto and northern Ontario.
After meeting up again in 2013 at a concert in Sault Ste.Marie, Rusty and Maja decided to work together on an album of her songs. In 2017 Maja celebrated the launch of her CD Signs of Life. Rusty produced, arranged and played on a majority of this 15 song album. Since then Rusty has released 3 of his own CDs bringing his catalogue to a total of 13 albums.
Then during the summer of 2018, the winds shifted and something called love made its way into the hearts of Rusty and Maja. As "Junior Seniors", their friendship deepened and now their creative output has been unstoppable; online variety shows, concerts and multi media presentations. In the summer of 2022 they have released their first album as a duo, Rusty & Maja ~Part Kitchen Party, Part Cabaret~.
