the-chicken-boxWednesday night, the boys will jump on a Jet Blue red-eye flight for a return trip to the island of Nantucket! They will perform Friday (10/2) and Saturday (10/3) afternoons at the Cisco Brewery, then both nights the fellas will head to The Chicken Box, the island’s best music venue, for a true rock and roll party! This one could go all night, folks! Or, at least from 10-2 am! On Sunday, October 4th, they’ll keep the whole island rockin’ when they play the annual Octoberfest back at the Cisco Brewery.

The Dusty 45s rocked Nantucket last year and plan to do the same this visit. Get your dancing shoes on and come out and support your favorite Seattle americana, roots, rock n roll band!

Safe travels, boys! And knock their Nantucket socks off!

dusty_45s_-_billy_joe_huels_021The Dusty 45’s very own Billy Joe Huels will be singing the national anthem at the final pre-season Seahawks game this Thursday night at Qwest field! How cool is that…! Billy is signing the anthem in support of the 5th Avenues Theaters latest production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat where he stars as Pharaoh the Elvis inspired character. The play runs at the 5th Ave Theater Oct 10th - Nov 1st 2009.

If you don’t already have tickets to see the Seahawks play the Oakland Raiders this gives you one more reason to pick some up. The rumor has it the Raiders bleed silver and black…and the Hawks will be sure to draw blood. Should be a great game! If you cant make it to the game it will aired on King 5 at 7pm.

We cant wait to hear Billy put his twist on the Star Spangled Banner.
