Its that time of year for the very special Noise for the Needy Festival! Noise for the Needy is a Seattle based non-profit organization that raises money for charitable causes through the production of live music shows, Proceeds proceeds will be donated to Urban Rest Stop, an organization that provides a clean, safe and welcoming facility where homeless individuals and families can come and use restrooms, shower and laundry facilities in Seattle at no cost to patrons.

The Dusty 45s will be playing a show at Nectar Lounge on June 14th in support of the Noise for the Needy Festival. Playing along with The Dusty 45s will be The Maldives, Massy Ferguson, and Amateur Radio Operator. This will surely be a rockin’ show for a wonderful cause.
