About the Artist
Led by songwriter Dustin Harder, this band has all the ingredients for a great night of live entertainment: Totally infectious tunes (covers and originals) that you can’t help but feel like dancing to… a tremendously high level of musicianship that commands your attention… and a stage atmosphere that is as much theatre as it is music. You can’t take your eyes off this band once they’re in a groove. The passion in Harder’s vocals and guitar work, especially on his outstanding original tunes, will leave you awestruck. Jess Rae Ayre’s appealing presence and sirenesque vocals create the necessary counterpoint to the often-frenetic male activity around her. The Dusty Roads Band has developed the perfect formula to delight audiences. Don’t miss them!!"Debut Album Available Now. www.dustyroadsband.com
