In late 2011\, Josh Erwin and Michael Paynter found themselves with a handful of new songs that didn’t have a home in The Packway Handle Band\, the acclaimed bluegrass-based group from Athens\, GA\, that they co-founded. Using a cajon to loop live drum beats and alternately adding acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin\, the band creates a sound that steps away from their bluegrass roots and finds itself wading firmly into Americana waters. With only Erwin and Paynter at the helm\, the songs possess a sophisticated character with wide and transcendent appeal. The songs on the duo’s first release\, Shelter (December 2013\, through Twin Cousins Records) often tackle the inevitable predicaments inherent in modern life. The songs range from dark to playful\, entailing both sad and funny themes\, and are performed with a professional and skilled musical sensibility that only comes with the years that Erwin and Paynter have spent playing music together. Erwin’s “The Scientist” asks the difficult question\, “Are we someone’s experiment?” It combines satire with genuine curiosity that has puzzled mankind for millennia. In “One Pill A Day\,” a Paynter composition that progresses around a clutching mandolin riff that is doubled by the guitar\, one is led to believe that perseverance lies in the form of the pharmaceutical-induced peace of mind of a haunted person that can’t ever reach homeostasis without crashing back to the ground. Paynter’s “Winds Me Up\,” the more somber number that closes out the duo’s debut release\, showcases Erwin’s deftness on electric guitar and the duo’s tight-knit vocal harmonies. Those who give Shelter a listen will surely be pleased that these songs have found a home and a fruitful place to grow and evolve. \nRESERVATION INFO: \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT.

When you’re at a Dusty Roads show\, expect to hear influences of the legends of country and bluegrass music\, such as Merle Haggard\, Flatt & Scruggs\, Willie Nelson\, Buck Owens\, and Bill Monroe. You can also expect sprinklings of songs and sounds of the great writers and musicians from across the globe and halls of time\, like Django Reinhardt\, Duke Ellington\, and Irving Berlin. “Come take a trip\, down that long\, dusty road”.\n Comprised of some of the Southeasts finest pickers and singers\, the band is ever evolving and growing. “We’re all Georgia boys” says Mickelson of the band members\, which features Jared Lanham on mandolin and tabla – the traditional Indian hand-drum. “Colt Bowen has one of the lightest touches of any drummer in town” says Mickelson of the Dusty Roads drummer. Fiddlin’ phenom Danny Bermel joined the group in late 2016\, and adds an agile musical flare that pushes their musical crescendos to another level of fever-pitch. Dusty Roads is constantly searching for that sound\, that lick\, that twangy hook that sinks deep into the listener’s soul and pulls them into the unfolding story of each song. The group cherishes the purity of silvery strings ringing together harmoniously. The band champions comradery\, respect for the craft of their instruments\, and finely constructed songs that feel as if they soar down from the mountaintop to resonate the listener’s heart-strings.\n “We came here with one purpose\, to have a blast playing and performing live acoustic music”- says Mickelson\, singer/songwriter for Dusty Roads. Growing up in Atlanta\, he was surrounded by a diverse world of cultures\, food\, and music. “My great-grandfather was a mandolin player from Germany\, so I guess it just runs in the blood”\, says Mickelson of his musical lineage. Like a rear-view mirror in a pick-up truck\, Dusty Roads looks back through the history of written and recorded music\, studying fervently to find just what made each of these classic songs so special and unique. Just like ‘looking backwards to go forwards’\, Mickelson applies this approach to writing original material for the band.\n During the Winter of 2017\, Dusty Roads went into the studio to begin recording its debut self-titled album. The album will feature music inspired by life\, love\, and heartache. “Life is heavy\, but music can make your bags a little lighter” – Dusty Roads \nTICKETING/RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows.
