What a year The Dusty 45s had! 2011 was huge! They went on tour with the legendary Wanda Jackson, and super star Adele, hitting (sold out!) shows in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Los Angeles, to name a few. Then, they rocked the Northwest all summer long, playing festivals and outdoor events, before taking off to the East Coast for their yearly jaunt to Nantucket. Ending the year in style, the band played with Wanda Jackson again on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles.

Starting 2012 off right, once again, the band is partnering with DESC for the fourth year in a row for the annual Gimme Shelter Benefit concert at The Showbox at the Market on Friday, February 3rd. This year’s Gimme Shelter will feature performances by The Maldives, Lazy Susan, The Young Evils, Betsy Olson, Davidson Hart Kingsbery, The Purrs, and, of course, The Dusty 45s. The D45s’ own Billy Joe Huels will serve as the event emcee, once again. Quite a line-up, right?!

Get your tickets NOW online or in person at The Showbox and Sonic Boom Records for $15. Proceeds from ticket sales go directly to DESC’s programs to end homelessness. To learn more about the important work DESC does in our community, please click here.

As you can see, The Dusty 45s launched a new, improved, and super snazzy website in 2011! Take a look around here for all the latest, and check out their Facebook page.

Here’s to a great New Year! We look forward to seeing you at the shows!

The legendary rocker was just 22 on February 3rd, 1959 when a tragic plane accident took his young life. The Seattle band is fronted by Billy Joe Huel’s who starred in the 5th Avenue Theater’s production of “Buddy”. The Dusty’s will perform many of the hits which spanned Mr. Holly’s short but prolific career. Billy Joe shares his experience portraying Buddy Holly on the KUOW podcast and you can read a review of the original 5th Ave production “Buddy” here

There are two shows on Feb 3rd at the Triple Door. The first 7pm all ages and the second 9:30pm +21. Come out and celebrate the life of an amazing artist who was one of the most influential creative forces in early rock and roll.

Check out the great pics below from the show! Thanks to all that came out for two great shows!
