Texas singer-songwriter Dustin Massey brings authentic Red Dirt country energy and heartfelt storytelling to every stage he steps on. A Granbury native inspired by the legendary Texas music scene, Massey grew up attending unforgettable live shows in Fort Worth that sparked his passion for performing. Influenced by artists like Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights, he discovered that great music could feel raw, real, and within reach. Today, Dustin channels that same spirit into his own sound, blending honest lyrics, soulful vocals, and country-rock grit into performances that connect deeply with audiences. Dustin Massey delivers a powerful reminder of why Texas live music culture remains unmatched.
The Granbury native grew up a rabid fan of the regional Red Dirt country sound. Going to shows at venues like the aforementioned MML and the old Live Oak was a revelation for him. Seeing bands like Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights somehow brought professional musicians closer to him and other “mere mortals” from his previous concept of the rock star selling out stadiums. “There was something really cool about getting out to Fort Worth and seeing live music that made it somehow seem not so out of reach,” he said. “Something about seeing these badass musicians didn’t seem otherworldly. You’re never gonna be John Mayer, but in the back of my mind — not that I ever told anyone — I thought, ‘Maybe I could do this.’ ”

Rooted in family tradition and fueled by the open road, Micky & The Motorcars are longtime torchbearers of Austin’s roots-rock and alt-country scene. Formed by brothers Micky and Gary Braun after leaving Idaho for Texas, the band has spent nearly two decades as a relentless touring force, earning a devoted cross-continental fanbase. Their 2019 album Long Time Comin’ captures that hard-won momentum—blending signature harmonies, road-tested rock-and-roll grit, and thoughtful songwriting that balances familiarity with surprise. Seasoned, sincere, and still evolving, Micky & The Motorcars remain a vital voice in American roots music.
