Three-time TAMMIES (Tucson Area Music Awards) winners The Dusty Buskers, perhaps the most unique item to emerge from the Sonoran Desert since the crested saguaro, proudly announce the release of their second self-produced album – "A Hypomanic Evening With…" on Old Bisbee Records, Southern Arizona's "beatific" record label of Western medicinal music.

The rowdy and raucous-sounding CD was recorded live from Studio 2A by KXCI 91.3 FM's own Ginger Doran and mastered by Stuart Oliver of Old Bisbee Records. "A Hypomanic Evening With…" features ten tracks of the Dusty Buskers' signature fast-paced, high-energy versions of bluegrass, Celtic folk and old-timey Americana tunes, with an 80s punk twist or two.

The blisteringly unbridled album perfectly captures the soul of the Dusty Buskers' "beat up from the street up" anarchic spirit and the flavor of their systematically maniacal attack on traditional music. Fans of the band will not be disappointed. Newcomers will be enthralled.

Having won the hearts of audiences in Tucson's saloons, taverns and cafes; captured the attention of passersby in backyards and on street corners in Tombstone, Willcox and Arivaca; performed in nightclubs in Austin, Phoenix and Bisbee; and frolicked at venues in Silver City and Truth or Consequences, NM, the Dusty Buskers have defied the odds, overcome their personal struggles and shrugged away their inner demons to present the world with their happy-go-lucky, idiosyncratically melodic and infectious music. The Dusty Buskers is an act not to be missed.

"A Hypomanic Evening With…" showcases the band's 2008 three-man lineup of core members Fiddlin' Uncle Phoenix and Dusty Squirrelfisher joined by washboard player The Mighty Joel Ford of local act The El Camino Royales. The Buskers' current lineup includes singer/songwriter and music teacher Dylan Charles on mandolin.

The Dusty Buskers have shared the stage and held it down with notable national acts such as Great American Taxi, The Devil Makes Three, The Weary Boys, Leslie and the Badgers, Fishtank Ensemble, Green Mountain Grass and James Intveld.

"It feels good to be part of something that goes back to before our time. Learning and rearranging songs from so long ago is like taking part in an inter-generational version of the children's game 'telephone,' where you take what you heard and say it back to the next person. The songs change with each reworking — in our case, we speed them up and write new verses — invoking a sense of history, yet remaining relevant in the present. Traditional music has so many stories to tell; in it we can see ourselves in the experiences of those who came before us."
- Uncle Fiddlin' Phoenix



"We cultivate the strong and straightforward melodies present in the songs, and in that context often supplement with improvised lyrics based on what we're feeling in the moment. We play music that is usually interpreted in a more understated style with a youthful energy and punk rock edge."
- Dusty Squirrelisher

"The secret ingredient in the Dusty Buskers' performances is a palpable energy and momentum. It's not as if they place traditional music as a static museum piece."
- Tucson Weekly

"A wild-assed punked-out group, one half Old Time Wild Man and the other half rowdy Irish Bar Band... If they played in a cemetery, even the ground would probably start rocking."
- Tucson Friends of Traditional Music News

"Sideburn-friendly, Celtic-infused Americana/bluegrass with a punk-grog buzz...A family feud with fiddles, mandolins, harmonicas, whiskey and silly hats."
- Tucson Weekly

"First get in an 'O' Brother, Where Art Thou?' frame of mind. Picture you are walking down a dusty country trail when you come upon two scrappy lookin', foot stompin' troubadours playing 'old timey' bluegrass and vintage Celtic tunes about whiskey and ladies of easy leisure. You say, 'Hey brothers! Mighty fine tunes…where y'all from?' If they answer, 'Tucson!' ye can be sure that they are the Dusty Buskers."
