Over the last few years Dustbowl Revival have evolved into a roving collective of like minded musicians often playing with as many as nine members: fiddle, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, banjo, accordion, tuba, pedal steel, drums, guitars, a bass made from a canoe oar, harmonica and plenty of washboard and kazoo for good measure.

Moreland and Arbuckle

StageOne 70 Sanford St, Fairfield, CT

MORELAND AND ARBUCKLE DETAILS on StageOne Thursday, August 14th Doors @ 7:00 PM Show @ 7:45PM GENRE Rock / Roots / Blues / Garage   Moreland & Arbuckle dig their blues up straight from the dirt. They bring it Gritty and fuzzed out with home made cigar box guitars and a wall of sound you'd never expect from a duo. Guitarist Aaron Moreland and Harpist/Vocalist Dustin Arbuckle met at an open mic in Wichita Kansas, and began exploring their mutual fascination with American music. They combined their taste for roots music with a penchant for harder edged rock. Bands like Black Sabbath and and Led Zeppelin informed their approach to traditional American blues music. The result is a distinctly sludgy delta sound with bits of soul and country flair thrown in the mix. They took their show on the road with legendary players like Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, and Steve Cropper. They even played for a stint in Iraq, entertaining our troops over seas in 2008. Now with the addition of drummer Kendall Newby they're taking to the road yet again.
