The Dusty 45s deliver. Playing to a partying crowd at a packed club or for serious music fans in intimate cabarets, the Dusty 45s always put on a committed, exciting performance. These guys belong on stage.

Mixing roots styles as various as honky-tonk, jump blues, and rock and roll (and a few “where did that come from?” flavors) isn’t easy. Again, the Dusty 45s deliver; combining classic elements of American music into a natural sound that is all their own – harmonizing over acoustic and electric guitars, upright bass, drums and trumpet.

Singer/songwriter front man, Billy Joe Huels leads the band with an electric stage presence & fiery trumpet, and his original songs are delivered with panache by Seattle’s roots rock wrecking crew. The quartet was recently tapped to back ‘The Queen of Rockabilly” and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Wanda Jackson in support of her blazing, Jack White-produced record. They continue to tour with Ms. Jackson, who with the Dusty 45s, will be opening for Grammy winner, Adele, on her upcoming sold out US tour.

Distinguishing themselves from the other talented roots bands by sheer energy and growth, the Dusty 45s have an impressive arc going back over a decade. The readers of the Seattle Weekly voted them “Best of Seattle” 3 years in a row, and Huels recently starred in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s successful production of “The Buddy Holly Story.”

With a deep discography, thousands of miles on the tour van odometer, and a committed fan base in the western US and Europe, the Dusty 45s are a professional, talented band with a creative fire that burns bright.
