Dusty sang in choir to impress the ladies all through his High School years, scoring 1's and 2's in State Choir competitions. After graduation he continued to jam around the Kansas City metro area with many different friends. He got another one of his crazy ideas, embarked on his next life adventure and decided to create the band County Road 5. Dusty was determined to learn the guitar, harmonica and mandolin; he has done exactly that over the last several years. There is never a dull moment with Dusty and County Road 5 on the stage!
