The Live Feed

Tonight on The Live Feed we bring you a performance by Minneapolis band Dusty Heart from the 2019 Boats and Bluegrass Festival. The poetically haunting sound of Dusty Heart blends roots, indie, pop, and folk that helps them to stand out in a sea of artists labeled as Americana. I sat down with Barbara Jean and Molly Dean of Dusty Heart after their set at Boats and Bluegrass to find out what makes these talented songwriters tick, where they draw their inspiration from and what they’ve been listening to lately. I’m Bill Stoneberg, with Barbara Jean and Molly Dean of Dusty Heart on The Live Feed.

Original air date: 10/09/19.

Tonight’s Live Feed takes you to Boats and Bluegrass for a special electrified performance by Charlie Parr. And by electrified we mean just that, as in electric guitars and a full band.

I’m Bill Stoneberg, with Charlie Parr on tonight’s Live Feed.
