This week, Dusty Heart — aka established solo artists Molly Dean and Barbara Jean — stopped by the Local Show (and Radio Heartland) to share some new music off their upcoming self-titled album. Joined by Jeremy Ylvisaker on guitar, Jeremy Hanson on drums, and Mike Lewis on bass, the duo used their clear harmonies and moody, even eerie instrumentation ("Blue Wing") to raise goosebumps all around. Dusty Heart comes out March 16 at the Southern Theater.
