Indie folk-rock outfit Shake the Dust brings a rich musical kinship rooted in the Carolinas, with most members performing solo or in regional bands since the early ’90s. Frontman Phil Lomac’s three solo records have earned critical acclaim for blending alt-rock and roots music, with 2017’s Northern Cities, Southern Stars drawing comparisons to a post-punk take on Bare Trees-era Fleetwood Mac.
The band’s debut EP pays tribute to ’70s FM country rock while injecting a contemporary edge, but their pensive, handcrafted style defies easy categorization—drawing inspiration from ’80s new wave, Wilco’s alt-country rock, and the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter tradition of Neil Young, Jackson Browne, and Tom Petty.
Expect lush instrumentation and sharp lyrical prowess when Shake the Dust takes the stage, performing tracks from their debut EP Shake the Dust alongside new material from their brand-new full-length album, a collection that cements their signature sound while exploring fresh sonic territory.

He infuses country and rock with a contemporary, yet nostalgic flair.
Since releasing his debut Country EP “Carolina”, Austin has been on a fast track to success in the country music industry. Austin’s breakout single “Ridin’ Highways” was featured during the 2023 CMT awards. He was chosen to be a Tractor Supply Emerging Artist in 2023 and is actively mentored by Dustin Lynch.
Austin has since shared the stage with country superstars Lainey Wilson, Dustin Lynch, Lauren Alaina, Kip Moore, and Maddie & Tae, among others.
