Michael Rushton (born 1950 in Worthing, West Sussex, England) is a British drummer and vocalist, known for being a member of the blues-rock band Steamhammer[1][2] and later indie bands.
Rushton was a member of several rock and blues bands in the mid to late 1960s. Steamhammer was formed in 1968 in Worthing, Rushton's birthplace.[3] He played drums on the debut 1969 Steamhammer album, aka Reflection.[4][5]
Rushton is said to have been sacked from Steamhammer[4] and Mick Bradley took over as the drummer for the band after him. Rushton went to France and joined The Holly Guns, which disbanded in 1971.[6] Later he played in various indie bands during the 1980s onwards. He has been a drummer and vocalist for Baroque Bordello and Les Innocents.[4] He is sometimes credited as "Michaël Rushton".
