Make a New Year’s Eve resolution to grab your pals and come on out for a rollicking night of Dusty 45s favorites and a preview of soon-to-be hits from the new album!

If you’ve been to a Dusty 45s show recently, you have undoubtedly noticed the “new guy” totally rocking the upright bass. Meet Jeff Gray! Jeff joined the Dusty 45s this summer, playing his first shows at U Village and Harbor Steps. After hardly any rehearsal, he came out strong, like a D45s pro! Jeff grew up in Snellville, Georgia, and was introduced to music at an early age, attending shows at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta and playing in marching bands. Jeff started out playing the trumpet, and also learned the baritone and drums, before landing (and excelling!) on the bass. He took his talent to Western Washington University in Bellingham, where he graduated with a major in music. Jeff calls Bellingham home and is very established in the music scene there. His current influences are The Beatles, Bach, and Gary Karr (the first ever solo double bassist).

If you haven’t already, come on out and give Jeff a warm and rowdy D45s welcome!

The fellas have been spending long days at the London Bridge Studios, laying down tracks for their highly-anticipated new studio album, to be released in January. Major bands such as Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and 3 Doors Down have recorded at London Bridge, so the D45s are thrilled be in such good, hit-making company!

A single song can take hours to perfect, and with their Producer Brad’s expertise, the guys have played and listened to each song over and over (and over!) again to make sure the album’s just right. The process can be long and slow, but it’s worth it! The fellas have captured their one-of-a-kind sound, and with new songs like Peace of Mind, Walking in the Rain, and A River From My Eyes, this album’s going to be a SMASH! January can’t come soon enough!

Keep checking back for the official album release date. You’re going to want to pick it up STAT!
