It all went down last Sunday, September 6th on the Starbucks Stage at Bumbershoot, where the guys powered through a set of their newest material and a few classics. The Seattle sprinkle didn’t keep the crowds away. They showed up for a Bumbershoot blow out, and the Dusty 45s didn’t disappoint! Coined a “best-kept secret” by the Seattle Weekly, we respectfully disagree – we’ve loved the fellas for years and they proved once again that they rock the house, rain or shine!

Take a look at these awesome write-ups…
