MIXING BOWL OF MAGIC: The Dust Parade talks their first year of making music as a band
Scroll on down for the Hank Report :)
I'm tremendously happy to say that THE DUST PARADE is in prime form for the upcoming year. As our drummer Logan Watson said to me after a recent A+ performance, "There is no ceiling for what this group of guys is capable of. The sky isn't even the limit!"
Beyond having an infectiously positive attitude, Matt Henderson is killing the bass guitar grooves and bringing a fantastic stage presence with him every night. On the saxophone, Jim Durham has added a surprise element to the 'Dust Parade' sound that I hadn't anticipated, but I love it! The three of us started this 'thing' and have come to play so well together that on some nights it's as if we can read each other's minds. Logan Watson (drums) and Chet Miller (percussion) have been filling out the final piece of this outfit. The Dust Parade is brimming with good vibes and fresh sounds. Come catch a show ASAP!
Looking ahead, we're all rather excited about getting into the studio in the coming months to put together a new album. We hope to have it ready for you by late-2018, but we will keep you posted on that. I believe this is the most special group I've ever been a part of, and this is the most excited I have been about playing/writing music in many years.
Art matters, music matters, and people matter. Take a deep breath and hug your loved ones, for life is short and sweet. From myself and The Dust Parade boys, we send smiles, love, and gratitude.
