About this Event
The Dusty 45s have inspired and fired up crowds for over two decades to the delight of fans and critics alike. With their signature style and unique sound, the band is a consistently powerful and energetic player in the Americana field.
The band was founded in 1997 by charismatic singer/songwriter, guitarist and trumpeter, Billy Joe Huels. Huels' songs draw inspiration from the roots of rock, rhythm and blues, honky-tonk and jazz. The band also consists of Kohen Burrill (drums), Robin Cady (upright bass) and Rod Cook (Lead Guitar).
The Dusty 45s have toured extensively. They backed Rock and Roll Hall of famer, Wanda Jackson many times, including when they joined her for Adele's "21" tour in 2011. The band has shared the stage with Brandi Carlile, Lyle Lovett, John Prine, The Ventures, Lucinda Williams, Leann Rhymes and Dick Dale, to name a few. In 2007, Huels received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Buddy Holly at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. In 2019, he interviewed PBS “Country Music” documentarian, Ken Burns, at Meany Hall in front of a sold-out audience.
The Dusty 45s have released 7 recordings. The 2014 album, “Live and On Fire”, showcases the best of their bold and brassy sound recorded live at the Triple Door in Seattle, WA. Huels and the band are currently working on a new recording, to be released in 2022.
Danny Newcomb
Rarely is an entity comprised of a single element. Never is a lifetime a truly straight path. Although “singer-songwriter” has long been Danny Newcomb’s destination, he’s definitely had a hell of a musician’s journey getting here.
In this moment, the release of “Mackerel Sky” is Danny’s musical departure. Stripped down and intricately crafted – the art of songwriting and uncluttered composition dominate the landscape of evocative musical storytelling. Refined power in a pure, unelectrified medium. Gentler in some ways, more powerful in others — in a word: different.
Danny’s story starts with a cheap acoustic guitar — learning, honing skills, writing songs and building the backend of his live, electric guitar playing with great bands over the arc of his musical adventuring.
