Happy Holidays from The Dusty 45s! Thanks to all of you for your support in 2008! There were many highlights and here are a few that we would like to share with you!
The 2008 Summer Concerts. We had the largest turnout ever at University Village and played our first Seafair Festival. We shared the stage with The English Beat and The Knack at the Festival of the River, and returned to the Harbor Steps/out to lunch concert for the 9th time!
Boston and Nantucket! The band traveled to the east coast in October for a string of shows. We performed at Boston’s Historic Wilbur Theatre with Pearl Jam’s, Stone Gossard, and Seattle’s Johnny Cash sensation Vince Mira. The band was grateful to have long time friend and talented upright bassist Corey Kaiser join us for the tour.
‘Gimme Shelter’ concert at the Triple Door Theatre. The Dusty 45s and friends raised $56,000 for the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC). The DESC supports Seattle’s most vulnerable mentally ill and homeless men and women.
Most notably, we were honored to meet and play a fundraiser for Barack Obama!
In 2009 we plan to continue our quest to rock you, not only in Washington State, but across the country! Thanks to all of your for inspiring us to create new music and explore the limits of what it means to be The Dusty 45s!
Thanks for a great year!

I'm the oldest operating bar in Washington state open since 1889. I like to party and have a lot of fun. Every weekend there is live music, usually no cover lets dance. I was also the bar used in the t.v. show Northern Exposure and i have the jail cells in the basement used in a movie called the runner stumbles filmed in 1978 Therefore I gained the label "World famous."Back in the day i was the hangout to the miners who immigrated from all over the world to mine coal in the area.

The Dusty 45s are playing a very important benefit show at The Triple Door on Nov 21st. The benefit “Gimme Shelter” is in support of the (DESC) The Downtown Emergency Service Center. Reaf the press release here. The DESC and The Dusty 45s teamed up to create “Gimme Shelter”, a concert designed to support DESC’s efforts to end homelessness in our community. Also playing with along with The Dusty 45s are the Tiny Vipers and Kristen Ward.
DESC is Seattle’s largest homeless service provider, and focuses on the needs of vulnerable men and women living with persistent and severe mental illness. DESC’s integrated program of shelter, mental health care, addiction treatment and employment services effectively connects people to appropriate affordable housing and services. For almost 30 years, DESC has operated the largest emergency shelter in Seattle and today is also the largest provider of Housing First apartments for homeless people in the region. In the last three years, DESC has connected over 1,500 people to housing, more than any other agency in the state.
Billy Joe of The Dusty 45s knows first hand the impact DESC can make in a person’s life:
“When it comes to DESC, I can speak from personal experience about the comfort they provide to families like mine,” says Billy Joe Huels of the Dusty 45s, who will also be releasing their new EP, Fortunate Man, at the event. “DESC provided my mentally ill brother real options when he had none. Matthew lives with schizophrenia and was homeless for 8 years. When he wasn’t living on the street, his most common residences were King County Jail and Western State Hospital. He failed again and again in other shelters and housing situations. DESC is the first agency to successfully monitor his medication. He recently marked one year in an apartment of his own, operated by DESC. Through their service, my brother now has a humane and stable existence.”
Billy Joe’s family with brother Mathew.
There will be two shows. The first at 7pm all ages and the second at 10pm 21+. Tickets are $20 and all proceeds will directly benefit the programs of The Downtown Emergency Service Center and will be generously matched by Safeco Insurance. We would love to see you come out and support a great local organization that is making a difference in our community one life at a time!
