Additional information
Dusty 4 Track carve out raw, alternative blues with a folk-stained edge. A collision of Ben James’ deep-rooted soul influences and Will Jeffery’s off-kilter folk instincts.
What began as a side project has grown into their most vital creative outlet: rough-hewn, heartfelt songs that feel lived-in and alive.
Drawing influence from Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Muddy Waters and Beck, their sound is equal parts smoky bar room stomp and late-night confession, switching between hushed intimacy and foot-stomping release. On stage, the duo’s chemistry is undeniable whether stripped back or bolstered by a rotating cast of collaborators, they bring grit, groove and storytelling in equal measure.
Since signing to Nottingham indie label, I’m Not From London in 2023, Dusty 4 Track have dropped a string of singles, including the swampy, swaggering “GET DOWN” and shared stages at Dot to Dot, Beat the Streets, Y Not and Hockley Hustle, winning over audiences one show at a time. With a debut album looming, they’re a band on the move, chasing connection the old-fashioned way through sweat, song, and the open road.
"The imagery they create takes you to a different place"
“There’s an infectious groove in their tracks. Their live shows have people moving”
"The mixture of Ben's blues and soul and Will's alternative folk influences create a wonderful eclectic mix of tunes with melodies that will stick in your head and music that will make you put on your dancing shoes"
Support comes from Super Mega Death Robot and Julia Rose.
