A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out for the Gimme Shelter benefit concert last Friday, in support of DESC and their programs! The Dusty 45s are proud to partner with such a valuable organization in the community. Many thanks to Safeco Insurance for their sponsorship of the event.

The Dusty 45s are proud to partner with DESC (formerly Downtown Emergency Service Center) once again this year for the 2nd annual Gimme Shelter benefit concert on Friday, January 29, 2010, at The Triple Door, playing at 7 pm and 10 pm. Chuckanut Drive will open both shows.

The Gimme Shelter event comes shortly before the release of The Dusty 45s’ highly anticipated new studio album, Fortunate Man. The album contains a collection of original Dusty 45s material, including Walking in the Rain, Peace of Mind, and the title track, all of which have been enthusiastically received at recent live shows and will be performed at the benefit.

DESC’s mission is to shelter and house Seattle’s most vulnerable homeless adults, particularly those with serious mental and addictive illnesses. Through partnerships and an integrated array of comprehensive services, treatment, and housing, DESC serves over 7,000 people annually, and gives them the opportunity to reach their highest level of self-sufficiency. DESC is vital organization in the Seattle community, and The Dusty 45s are pleased to be associated with their valuable work.
