About the event
The Dusty Drifters emerged out of Ottawa in 2008. Spending several years hosting the popular Bluegrass Sundays at Irene’s they became one of the region’s most celebrated and recognized Bluegrass bands. They’ve since produced an album and have played many local festivals where they continue to gain fans of all ages with each appearance. Their bluegrass/new acoustic sound is filled with a mixture of fresh arrangements of old favourites and original songs. The lineup includes Paul Roberto (guitar, lead vocals), Stuart Rutherford (Dobro, fiddle, vocals), Anthony Bacon (banjo, cello, vocals), Brent Weatherall (Bass, vocals), and Gilles Leclerc (mandolin, vocals)
