Waiting at the Bush Airport in Houston, White Torpedo should b arriving momentarily. Things That Fly Release Tour began for the other six yesterday when they crawled in the van, but tonight marks the first night of the tour. This should be interesting:

LA Bluegrass Situation

Ed Helm's Bluegrass Situation was in full swing well before we arrived Monday. Late nights and epic jams were standard so we easily slipped into the scene. A long set punctuated by a sit-in that included Punch Brothers Noam and Critter, Sara and Sean Watkins and Ed Helms was only the start of a long night. After the show the Watkins held court in the Little Room at the Largo. Benmont Tench (Heartbreakers) played piano all night, Jackson Browne flowed in and out of the music and Gillian Welch and David Rawlins blew minds. The Dusters got in on some of the music too but it was our Friday, so we were in leisure mode.

Spring Break?

The Dusters have been off the road for almost two weeks now, so it's been pretty quiet around here (the website).  That will all change this Wednesday when we resume our Ski Tour 2010.  First week in Cali, second week in CO seems like an ideal way to spend the latter half of March.

Things That Fly is on the way.  April 15 we launch our massive CD Release Tour and April 20th Things That Fly hits shelves.  Panda made a video:


 Curious what it was like in the making?  Watch this:



That ought to keep you busy until the Dusters land near you.  And we will, no matter where you are, we'll be coming close this summer so keep an eye on the Tour Dates page of the website and sign up on the mailing list so you don't miss a thing.

Ski Tour hits West Coast

We're out of the mountains and out of the snow a little worse for wear but in exceptionally high spirits. A little photo narrative:
