The Dusty 45s

The Dusty 45s are thrilled to road trip to Oregon to kick off February right, playing
two shows. Their first show will be in Salem on February 4^th at Duffy’s Hangar at 8 pm. On February 5^th, they’ll rock Duff’s Garage in Portland, starting at 9 pm.

The Oregon shows come only a month 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, Only Wanna Be With You, and the title track, all of which have been enthusiastically received at recent live shows. Fortunate Man will be released on March 27, 2010, and songs from the album will be previewed at the Oregon shows. The fellas are looking forward to performing the material to new audiences.

Both shows have a $10 cover charge.
