March 26, 2023 is the debut of DustFlower at the beautiful Cottage Creek Winery in Morgan Hill, CA. Brooke and Emil have been performing as an acoustic duo (Brooke & Emil) for 4 years and as part of the hard rock band, Neverland.
While these ventures have been amazing and are continuing to build audiences throughout California and beyond, Brooke and Emil felt like there was a sound that was calling to them, which didn't quite fit either of the two acts. Both have grown up loving and listening to the Americana, country, Southern rock n' roll vibe of artists such as Sheryl Crow,Chris Stapleton, John Mellencamp, Little Big Town, Lady A, the Black Crowes and more.
Although they incorporated some of that vibe in their duo act, they wanted to put together a great band to really get the vibe of that sound. Bringing in Joe Birtola on bass, their dear friend and band mate from Neverland, and Doug Dean, an accomplished drummer for many bay area bands including the Blind Pilots, Mad About You and more, the band has come together and gelled from the first time they got together.
We are excited to bring our sound and vibe to all of the music lovers out there in the bay area and beyond. Follow us to see where we'll be next and come say hi.
