The Dusty Gray Band & Grin Whistle

11-30-2013 (Ballroom)
Having been recognized as one of the hottest original acts coming out of New Hampshire, The Dusty Gray Band blends blues and southern rock with their own version of New England country music, creating a powerhouse sound that has been likened to The Band, Ray Lamontagne and Darius Rucker.
They have served as opening act for some of the biggest names in music, including Willie Nelson, Charlie Daniels, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Delbert McClinton.
In 2012, Dusty Gray signed a songwriting deal with Big Yellow Dog Publishing in Nashville, TN, and now splits his time between gigging with his band around the Northeast and writing with some of the best songwriters Nashville has to offer.
Grin Whistle is a Massachusetts based folk-band infusing bluegrass, americana, and roots-rock with artful storytelling. The band members are: James Terrasi on electric and acoustic guitars, Noah Hill on drums and percussion, Mark Renczkowski on upright bass and mandolin and Joshua Hill on acoustic guitar and vocals. They keep emphasis on eclectic and high-energy live performances by melodically combining delicate storytelling with foot-stomping grooves. Grin Whistle makes each live gig a unique experience by never playing the same set twice and using various improvisation techniques.
