Infused by a passion for American roots music in all its varied forms, The Dusty sound blurs the line between genres to create a style that is, in the final distillation, entirely fresh and new. With elements ranging from honky-tonk to jump blues to rock and roll. Their songs are built on soulful, harmonic vocals and a back beat of upright bass, drums and rhythm guitar. A marachi trumpet and vibrant lead guitar complete The Dusty 45's signature sound.

Professional, confident, and experienced-Billy Joe and The Dusty 45's play to pack the house up and down the coast. Four independent releases have earned the band regular airplay, glowing reviews, and sales reaching 20,000 units in the U.S. & abroad. The band has appeared with acts such as LeAnn Rimes, comedians Margaret Cho, Wayne Brady, & Dick Dale. Catch him with The Ventures, BR-549, and most recently Lemmy of Motorhead and Slim Jim Phantorm of the Stray Cats.
