Billy Joe and The Dusty 45s

Our favorite rock-a-billy gal Sweat Pea is celebrating her birthday this Saturday at the Tractor Tavern.  Along with Marshall Scott Warner ,  The Dusty 45s will get this joint jumpin’!!!  This should be a high-energy rockin show.  Come out and help Sweet Pea celebrate her B-day with the Dustys in Ballard!

Then on Sunday The Dusty 45s head to The Royal Lounge to rock Olympia’s socks off!  Opening for The Dusty’s are the The Sister Project. Come to one or both of these great shows and show your support.

The Dusty 45s returned to Yakima last Saturday night for the first time in over 2 years. The energized crowd welcomed back the band  with a huge turnout, and kept the boys rocking on stage for over 3  hours!  Yakima Herald writer, Kim Knowacki, previewed the show here.  http://yakima-herald.com/stories/6945

A special thanks to all the fans that came out to support the Dustys!

Tonight The Dusty 45s are in Yakima rocking The Sports Center!  Come out and shake your tails to Seattle’s premiere Americana Roots band at Yakima’s best venue.  Read the latest press on The Dusty 45s here:

Showcasing talent from the Northwest and beyond, Yakima Sports Center is the Central Washington hub for fresh cuisine, local art, live music, craft beers, valley wines, and sports enthusiasts. While preserving an historic 1910 landmark in the heart of downtown Yakima, the Sports Center celebrates all four seasons of flavors from our agriculturally rich valley with sizzle.

The Seattle music scene lost a great friend this Monday when Joe Shikany was killed by a falling tree in a freak accident. Joe was a veteran guitar and bass player most recently playing with our very own Jerry Battista in the blues rock band “The Davanos“. Our hearts and prayers are with Joe and his family.

Come out to the never ordinary Can Can cabaret tonight and check out Billy Joe and Jerry of The Dusty 45s as The Two Fifths. This will be a super fun show in a great Seattle cabaret bar! The Can Can is one of Seattle’s most celebrated, award winning nightspots in the city. Located in the heart of the Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle, Can Can’s underground setting is evocative of Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Just look down…they located under the 1st Avenue sidewalk directly beneath the 1st & Pike Flower Shop.

This Saturday The Dusty 45s play the 19th annual Stillaquamish Festival of the River.  The Dusty’s go on at 10:30 so be early.  Also playing the festival are The Gin Blossoms, Smashmouth, The English Beat, The Knack and Leroy Bell and his only friends.  With a packed line up of great bands you wont want to miss this!  The festival is being held at the River Meadows County Park in Arlington, WA.

The Stillaguamish Festival of the River is a fun way to celebrate summer and the Pacific Northwest environment. Regional citizens and visitors share their experiences and learn from others about water quality, salmon habitat, and the watershed. And if you don’t know what a watershed is, they will teach you!

With a giant storytelling tent, a 20′ paintable mural, arts and craft vendors, a scrumptious salmon barbecue prepared by the Stillaguamish Tribe, and live music by a variety of great bands….there is something for everyone to enjoy!
