Guitarist Dusty Brough beautifully combines his roots in Flamenco with Jazz, Folk, Brazilian, Gypsy and Balkan music. As a composer, he integrates these eclectic influences with his unique approach to music and a “blatant disregard for genre boxes.” (Joe Bendel, Epoch Times). His nylon-string guitar playing is marked by an unparalleled agile technique that supports a buoyant aesthetic. Seamlessly blending lush harmonies, intricate rhythms and improvisation, the fluidity, presence, and rhythm of Surfing and countless hours in touring vans, Dusty creates something of his very own.

Dusty’s performing experience ranges from international tours with original projects to playing with Jesse Cook and Hans York. His release “Sharon by the Sea” (Adventure Music, 2009) with mandolin virtuoso Eva Scow was met with great acclaim: “a captivating blend of genres, part folk, part jazz, part Latin, part gypsy, and wholly individual when you put it all together” CD Universe. “Dazzling harmonies, intricately woven sonic textures all recorded with tightly disciplined focus, make this CD instantly likable, inexhaustibly absorbing, even after the 7th spin… ground-breaking” Jazzmando.com. Dusty’s discography also includes four CDs with Flamenco Jazz Trio Cerro Negro the 2008 release with his Acoustic Original Project Elameno Quintet and his new trio recording Otro Mundo in the winter of 2010.

Currently based in San Diego, Dusty enjoys a full schedule of performing, recording, touring, and surfing. His performances and recordings consistently delight audiences and musicians alike.
