Dusty Rhodes and The River Band: Best Live Band in Orange County
 Dusty Rhodes and the River Band |
Last Saturday night, Dusty Rhodes and the River Band took home Best Live Band at the 2010 Orange County Music Awards. Held in the Samueli Theater at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, the Best Live Band finals featured five of OC’s best; Blok, The Steelwells, The Colourist, Dusty Rhodes and The River Band and The Union Line (who won last year).
Dressed in white, the band ripped through a 30 minute set that solidified Dusty Rhodes and the River Band’s reputation as an amazing live band, as witnessed by folks who have caught them on tour the past couple years with Flogging Molly, Dirty Pretty Things, Gogol Bordello and at festivals including Wakarusa and High Sierra.
In addition to a really big check, the band won $2,500 in gear from Fender and three days of recording time at Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica.
The band is also up for three more awards; Best Album for Palace and Stage, Best Rock and Best Country/Americana. The Awards Ceremony is March 6 at The Grove Of Anaheim.
