Dusty Roads is a high-energy Georgia-grown Americana band, formed in 2014 by Atlanta based musician, John Mickelson. When you're at a Dusty Roads show, expect to hear echoes of the legends of bluegrass and country music, such as Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and Willie Nelson. The band also thrives on being musically inclusive, interweaving a multitude of genres in with their Americana roots. Close your eyes, and you may even hear reverberations of great musicians from across the halls of time… like Django Reinhardt, Bob Marley, and even Avicii. The band walks a tightrope during each show, reverently counterbalancing acoustic and electric instruments to surge together as one, all while allowing each other their own sonic space. ‘Come take a trip down that long, dusty road’.
The band 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 and vocal cords ringing together harmoniously. Dusty Roads champions camaraderie, respect for the craft of their instruments, and finely constructed songs that feel as if they soar effortlessly down from the mountaintop to resonate the listener's heart-strings, calling them home. "We came here with one purpose… to have fun creating and performing our music, and passing it on"- says Mickelson, Singer/Songwriter for Dusty Roads.
