   About Dust Poets

The Dust Poets are a five-piece acoustic folk group with roots deep in the Canadian prairie. The Dust Poets poke affectionate fun at themselves and the world around them while spreading their own irreverent brand of small town angst. The group has performed extensively across Canada and is well known for its powerful stage presence and genre-bending originals that frame hot solo chops and juicy harmony singing.

The Dust Poets perform the original music of veteran singer-songwriter Murray D. Evans, whose wry writers eye explores themes of home town losers, travel in foreign lands, and the absurdity of war. With their upbeat and unmistakable original sound, the band also performs an eclectic collection of country swing standards and underground pop covers. The Dust Poets all-acoustic line-up features guitar, upright bass, accordion, mandolin, clarinet, and percussion, plus extraordinary four part vocal harmonies.

Since the band's formation in 2001 in Brandon, Manitoba, they have released three albums and toured throughout Canada and into the United States. Their first record, "...one night in Berlin" - recorded live in a single evening - earned a nomination for Outstanding Roots Recording for the 2002 Prairie Music Awards. Their second professionally recorded release, entitled "Four Legs Good," was released in 2003 and contains all the edgy excitement of their live show. In 2006 the band released their newest recording "Lovesick Town." The new disc finds songwriter Evans reveling in the quirky caricatures of small town life and showcases the acoustic band with an infusion of horns, drums and electric guitars.

The Dust Poets continue to earn fans and attract international attention with great music, a great sense of humour, and great performances, every time they take the stage.

Just had to let you know how much my daughter and I enjoyed your concert in Bastrop. It was so nice meeting you all, can't wait till you plan a concert for sothwest Louisiana. I am spreading the word your lyrics are pure poetry and the music clears away the dust and cobwebs of the mind.
