From smoky back rooms of Seattle's dive bars to national tours, The Dusty 45s, fronted by its dynamic founding member, singer-songwriter Billy Joe Huels, have been electrifying audiences for nearly three decades. Their raw energy and timeless sound have earned them a dedicated following and a reputation as one of the region's most beloved bands. Driven by Huels's creative vision, the current lineup features Kohen Burrill on drums and vocals, Robin Cady on upright bass, and Rod Cook on lead guitar and vocals. This dynamic quartet delivers high-octane live shows that have solidified the band's reputation for stellar musicianship. Over the years, The Dusty 45s have become a Seattle institution, gracing the airwaves of KEXP and sharing stages with luminaries like Adele, Brandi Carlile, Wanda Jackson, and John Prine. Their signature blend of gritty rock 'n' roll and heartfelt storytelling has solidified their status as one of the region's most respected and enduring acts. With their electrifying live performances, they've captivated audiences across the country. Their most dynamic/intimate album to date, their most recent record (All the Beauty in Between, Nov '24) reflects themes of love, resilience, and connection. As Huels explains, "The songs on this album were born from the silence of spring 2020, a time when we were all stuck in our homes and isolated from our communities. They are stories about seeking + finding love, holding on + letting go, leaving + coming back home.
