About
People connect with artists, not just songs.
Dusty Trails grew up on the backroads of Missouri, learning guitar from his grandfather's porch sessions and falling in love with the storytelling tradition of country music. After years of playing honky-tonks and open mics across the Midwest, he released his debut EP "Highway Home" to critical acclaim.
His sound draws from the golden era of outlaw country while incorporating modern production and rock-infused energy that gets crowds on their feet.
