Dusty Ciggaar and friends

[Jim R]

I've been meaning to start a topic on Dusty (a young guitarist based in the Netherlands who is hard to categorize, but plays a lot of american roots styles), and curious to see whether any of our european members are familiar with him.

I think he started as a teen about a dozen years ago with a g/b/d trio called "The Rhythm Chiefs".  They're still together, and have been touring for several years backing up british singer/guitarist Ian Siegal.

Another g/b/d trio that developed later is called the "Dry Riverbed Trio", and includes Dusty's younger brother Darryl on drums and vocals.

Dusty also turns up on videos featuring a pair of twins- Joel and Tess Gaerthe- who are talented singers.

There are other bands that have featured Dusty, but for starters, here's The Dry Riverbed Trio playing Hank Garland's "Hank's Dream" a few years back:
