We hope you are able to kick back and relax with your family and friends as the year winds down!

What a year we’ve had! After the release of Fortunate Man in the spring, we spent a lot of time on the road. Our “Back to Your Roots” tour started off a little rocky when our tour van broke down in Montana! But it didn’t slow us down for long, and we were back on the Dusty trail, heading to the Mid-South, for stops in Jonesboro, Louisville, Knoxville, three shows in Nashville, and playing in Billy Joe’s hometown for his dad’s 80^th birthday!

We returned to Washington and kept busy, playing all over the state at various festivals and events in July and August. From Everett to Yakima to Electric City, we were there! As summer came to a close, we hit the road again, this time heading to the East Coast for shows in Boston and Nantucket. You may have seen the video we posted on Facebook, showing our glamorous accommodations! All jokes aside, we had a blast!!!

From the East Coast to the West Coast! We hopped in the van for three shows in Arizona, followed by six shows in California. With Seattle luck on our side, we ran into some rain on what was supposed to be our sunny L.A. road trip!

We had a great time playing all over the country, and meeting so many new fans!
We hope to make it back to play for you again soon!

Don’t miss your last chance to see us in 2010 – We’ll be counting down to the New Year with two shows at The Triple Door!  We’ll kick off the evening with an early, all-ages, show at 7 pm, followed by a 21+ show at 10:30 pm. Dinner packages for the 7 pm show are still available for $100. Party packages for the 10:30 performance are available for $70. Tickets cannot be purchased online.

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.
