Dusty James and Abalone Pearl mix up the music, playing pop acoustic and traditional tunes, Americana and Beatles and original songs. They bring a carload of stringed musical instruments, swapping off banjo, mandolin, guitar, dulcimer and harmonica.
Dusty James is a champion flat-picker who was awarded third place in the guitar competition at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. He has written award-winning songs alongside musical partner, (Ms) Abalone Pearl.
This truly Midwestern duo brings a festive rhythm and a surprising down home twang to songs you might not expect, alongside original tunes with sweet melodies and lyrical ballads with a dash of humor to match their band’s name!
