Dusty Road

“They rose like specters from the hardpan, wearing beads, bangles and flowers in their hair ...” then took a detour to earn a living and raise families. Former hippies and music lovers alike, they dabbled in rock and other genres for decades, eventually forming an unlikely alliance in the Folk/Americana world, where they create and cover songs of social justice, homegrown American values and everything in between.

Dusty Road’s roots are with a husband and wife team, Dan and Maureen Kuchta, who have been making music together for over 35 years. They’re joined by long time friend, Linda Becker, and more recently, bassman Doug Green. They hail from Dan & Maureen’s farm in the Hilton/Brockport area where they maintain a sound studio and hone their signature mix of Americana, Country, Roots, and Folk.

A little different? You bet! Maureen plays clarinet, recorder, and sax, Dan is the singing guitarist, Linda adds silky harmonies along with percussion and delicate fingerpicking, and Doug rounds out the quartet with his rich vocals and fluid bass lines. Tight harmonies and an eclectic mix of songs create Dusty Road’s unique sound. They’ll as likely leave you tapping a toe as wiping a tear.
