About Us
Dusty Halos
The Dusty Halos band was formed in late 2022 when the established Dave Zych band added the powerful female vocals and Southern style of Andrea Esparza, and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of the steel guitar and fiddle played by Steve Bagsby. The blended variety of Country and Classic Rock appeals to a wider audience as it mixes the two genres seamlessly, keeping the crowd entertained all night.
