The Dust Busters Friday May 13th at Jalopy
Friday, May 13th Eli Smith’s Dust Busters take the stage at Jalopy. If you don’t know this band, they are a great old time act that has been touring of late. They “strive to integrate a wide range of old timey songs, fiddle tunes, blues and originals into every performance, and infuse it all with the freewheelin high energy that characterized early string bands in the vein of the Georgia Crackers, Mississippi Sheiks, JE Mainer and His Mountaineers, etc” Opening for the band is the Brotherhood of the Jug Bland Blues.”
“Fly Around” by The Dough Rollers and The Dust Busters.
