Over the weekend at the Showbox The Dusty 45s helped Vince Mira celebrate his CD release along with The Roy Kay Trio and Stone Gossard. The show was outstanding!

The Dusty 45s set was amazing. The boys continue to sound tighter and tighter everytime they perform! They played several new songs from the just released EP Fortunate Man. The Dustys were rocking and the crowd was fired up…then Billy Joe topped off the set with his signature flaming trumpet! Not to mention it was Billy Joe’s birthday!

Vince Mira showed his exceptional talent performing his new material as well as the classic Johnny Cash numbers. If you havnt seen this young man perform you need to…he will blow your socks off! Keep your eye on this rising star.

After a successful road trip and amazing East Coast Tour, The Dusty 45s are back in Seattle. One of the highlights of the tour was at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston. The band shared the night with fellow northwest roots rockers, Stone Gossard and Vince Mira. Read the great review here! Don’t miss the same great show on Saturday, 11/1 at Downtown Seattle’s Showbox Theatre. Doors for the All-Ages show are 8pm!
