The Dust Collectors

The Dust Collectors are an alternative folk band from Calgary, Alberta. After years of playing separately in different bands, the four long-time friends quickly moved from garage jams to song-writing. By Winter 2018, they were recording demos and playing shows around Western Canada and haven't stopped since (except maybe for a pandemic). The group approach songwriting as a collaborative effort. With each member coming from different places of influence, the result is a blend of country, folk, blues and rock. What truly sets this band apart is that each member contributes vocally; seamless four-part harmonies have become the signature of their sound. The end product is both bitter and sweet to the listener's ears, bringing to mind collectives like Fleet Foxes and CSNY. The Dust Collectors have completed work on their first album, recording with Pat Palardy at Public Lunch Studios. The album, titled Outside In, was released in May 2023 through Neon Moon Records. Their songs have been featured on independent and university radio across North America.
