The Dust Busters with Patti Smith, New Year's Eve Photos

Here's some photos from New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight.  We opened for Patti Smith for 3 nights at the Bowery Ballroom here in New York.  They were great, really fun sold out shows.  We had a really great time!  Here we are on stage with Patti and her band, sitting in with them for the finale as the clock struck midnight and we started the year 2011.  Happy New Year!

Old Man Below

The Dust Busters with John Cohen SFW40206

On Old Man Below, The Dust Busters point the way for a new generation of old-time music devotees. Standing squarely in the lineage of the New Lost City Ramblers, their reverence for tradition runs deep while their interpretations bring fresh meaning and a sense that their music is as contemporary as any other. Dust Busters mentor and Ramblers elder John Cohen joins Eli Smith, Walker Shepard, and Craig Judelman in this solidly grounded, future-looking album of classic melodies that makes the legacy of yesterday the sound of today. 60 minutes, 36-page booklet with photos and extensive notes.
