The Dust Collectors are an alternative folk band from Calgary, Alberta.  After years of playing separately in different bands, these long-time friends quickly moved from garage jams to song-writing. By Winter 2018, they were recording demos and playing shows around the local Calgary circuit and haven’t stopped since (except maybe for a pandemic).

The group approach songwriting as a collaborative effort. With each member coming from different places of influence, the result is a blend of country, folk and rock. What truly sets this band apart is that each member contributes vocally; seamless six-part harmonies have become the signature of their sound. The end product is both bitter and sweet to the listener’s ears, bringing to mind collectives like Fleet Foxes and CSNY.

The Dust Collectors debut album, titled Outside In, was released on May 2023. Their sophomore album, Cold Feet, was released June 2025. Their songs have received regular airplay on CKUA, CBC Radio, CJSW and on several online radio shows across North America. In 2025 the band played festivals and live shows across Western Canada, including their hometown Calgary Folk Music Festival.
