Don’t miss your last chance to catch the band before they take off on their tour of the Midwest and South! They’re taking Fortunate Man on the road, hitting Knoxville, Louisville, and Nashville, to name a few stops! But before they go, they’re playing Der Hinterhof in Leavenworth on Sunday, June 13th at 1 pm. The weather forecast is calling for sunny skies, 80 degree temps, and a fiery trumpet! Let’s send the guys off in style – Lederhosen optional.

Check out the great write-up for this weekend’s show in The Wenatchee World!

A big thanks to all of the fans who came out for the shows in Ellensburg, Portland, Salem and Olympia! This weekend the Dustys are off to put the “rock” in the Rockies. This Friday, June 4th, the band will be  playing cuts from Fortunate Man at the Skylark Lounge in Denver. The boys will head south on Saturday, June 5th, to The Senate Bar in Pueblo, CO. Both shows kick off around 9pm!  They’ll close out the month of June in the Midwest and the South for shows in Nashville, Louisville, Knoxville, Memphis, and the just-announced concert in Billy Joe’s hometown of Carlyle, IL, on July 2nd!  Stay tuned for all the details about our huge summer schedule coming soon!

The boys return to Seattle’s best dance venue on April 25, and will be performing songs from their new album Fortunate Man, along with all the classics that have endeared them to the swing dance scene for over a decade. The jig (and gig!) starts at 9 pm with a 30-minute lesson, then get ready to show off what you learned and tear up the dance floor for the rest of the night! There’ll plenty of room to let your mad dancin’ skills take over, so come on down for some Sunday night fun!

A HUGE thanks to everyone for coming out this weekend to celebrate the Fortunate Man album release! From the in-store performance at Easy Street to the late show at the Tractor, we had a blast and are so grateful for your support!

We hope you enjoy the all the new material! We’re very proud of the finished product. We’re already thinking about the next album too! We look forward to playing more rockin’ shows for you soon. Check out our gigs calendar for the latest concert calendar. We expect to keep filling it up, especially with all the festivals coming up this summer.

If you haven’t already purchased your copy of Fortunate Man (what are you waiting for?!), it’s available NOW for download on CdBaby. You will also be able to purchase a “hard copy” of the cd there very soon, as well as at any of our shows.

Cheers!
Billy Joe, Jerry, Kelly, and Jeff
