Dusty 45s

The Dusty 45s was founded in 1997 by singer/songwriter, guitarist and trumpeter Billy Joe Huels.  His songs draw inspiration from the roots of rock, rhythm and blues, honky-tonk and jazz.  The band also consists of Kohen Burrill (drums), Robin Cady (upright bass) and Rod Cook (lead guitar).

They have toured extensively.  They backed Rock and Roll Hall of famer Wanda Jackson many times, including when they joined her for Adele’s “21” tour in 2011.  The band has shared the stage with Brandi Carlile, Lyle Lovett, John Prine, The Ventures, Lucinda Williams and Dick Dale, to name a few.
