Rusty & Doug was a country music and bluegrass music duo composed of Doug Kershaw (born January 24, 1936) and his brother, Rusty (February 2, 1938-October 23, 2001). The two recorded for Hickory Records between 1955 and 1961, charting five times on the Hot Country Songs charts.[1] They also performed on the Louisiana Hayride and Wheeling Jamboree. They became members of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1950s.[2] The duo broke up in 1959 as both brothers entered the United States Army, but reunited between 1961 and 1963.[3] Doug continued as a solo artist.
