I had already put in about 12 hours working before I showed up to Sonic Factory for this week’s session; I was tired and honestly a bit grumpy.  The Dustin Smith Band immediately snapped me out of it when they started their first song; both Skyler and my ears perked up.  It’s great to go into these sessions completely blind, and to discover more of the hidden talents from around the state.  

The show ended up being one of my favorite, and more memorable sessions, although there was a major slip up on my part.  After conducting what I considered to be the perfect interview, I turned around to save it, only to notice that the computer was no longer recording!  We did get about four minutes of the interview, so I’ll post it, but you’ll have to visit Dustin’s website for more information.

The show itself was a blast!  Mars Café was packed and Dustin brought in some killer records, including the first ever Nick Drake albums brought on the show…not just one, but all of them.  We also played new songs from William Elliott Whitmore, since we were all fans.  Dustin actually discovered Will’s music while living and studying music in New York…there is so much good music in Iowa, sometimes it takes leaving to realize it.

All three members of the Dustin Smith band are from around Des Moines, but all have left at some point for various studying interests. And all have played around the music scene with various other bands and musicians. Listening to them live, it’s amazing how new it all is…Joel the drummer had to learn songs before the show started!  The Dustin Smith Band heads into the studio next week with Logan Christian to start on a new EP, pay attention to these guys.
