Americana Afternoon: Mark McLay and The Dustdevils

Mark McLay and The Dustdevils play American rock and roll rooted in the storytelling tradition of John Hiatt, Jackson Browne, and Bruce Springsteen. Mark's nuanced, expressive vocals carry tuneful melodies and meaningful lyrics, wrapped in sophisticated, song-first arrangements that balance grit, heart, and hope.

Backed by the seasoned Dustdevils-veterans of the stage and studio-the band moves effortlessly from hard-nosed rock to tender, reflective moments, always in service of the song. Praised by critics at KRSH, KPFA, and the North Bay Bohemian, their honest, evocative sound has been featured in film, TV, and radio-and it's even better live.
