On April 16th we are excited to Welcome Dustin Bentall to the Crow Stage for our 17th session.
We were fortunate enough to have his father Barney here on January 15th. Dustin is just releasing his first album in 5 years, High in the Satellite
Authenticity. Craftsmanship. Timelessness.
Those are the qualities that seem to embody everything that Dustin Bentall does. Whether the West Coast roots-rocker is strumming out a cosmic country tune, handcrafting a pair of leather boots, or fixing up an old car, everything Bentall touches seems to have classic feel to it.
The art forms feed into one another, says Bentall, explaining how his passions fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. I could be installing a new engine into my 64 Bel Air or working with leather. That kind of hands-on physical work unlocks something in my brain. When a certain goal is reached or a task completed is when Ill pick up the guitar and the songs spill out.
In 2019, Dustin Bentall returns with High In The Satellite, his first new music in over five years. Hes been consistently gigging - his own solo shows, duo gigs with his longtime partner Kendel Carson, and the annual Cariboo Express tour with his dad and other friends (which has raised over 1.4 M for local charities across western Canada) its just that hes been working in a different kind of studio.
b.b. gun leather was Dustin Bentalls first foray into hand-crafted leather goods, a partnership with a friend that lasted three successful years. The shop where the business operated out of in East Vancouver blended his passions with a CBC produced music series called The b.b gun Sessions which featured artists, Father John Misty, Mac Demarco, Whitney Rose & John Paul White of The Civil Wars...
b.b. gun was great, says Bentall, but it ultimately took too much time away from writing and recording music. I needed to put my focus back on music and grow independant in the leather business, which is how both Dust Leather and High In The Satellite took shape.
Dust Leather has entered into an exciting partnership with Coup de Tete, a Toronto-based custom hat company that is expanding into shoes. Bentalls style of handmade leather boots are the perfect fit for a dream collab that will see a rise in production and greater availability for his one of a kind leather boots.
Back to the music: The five cool, dusty, desert-scape road songs on High In The Satellite are what Dustin Bentall calls the most honest representation yet of the music that I hear in my head.
The record was co-produced by Bentall and Carson, and mixed by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Yukon Blonde, Dan Mangan).
High In The Satellite channels all of Bentalls biggest influences: Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, Matt Mays, his dad Barney, John Prine, and Blue Rodeo (co-lead singer Jim Cuddy has been spotted wearing a pair of Dust Leather shoes on stage).
And if there needs to be any more synergetic proof of Dustin Bentalls merging careers, a John Prine lyric is branded inside new pairs of Dust Leather boots:
It took me years to get those souvenirs.
Its a line that could perfectly be applied to High In The Satellite.
Our host, radio personality and author Jeff Woods will be asking the tough questions at half-time.
