RML Peak Performer Series: The Dust Collectors

***Apologies for any audio issues, there was a lot of noise in the area we conducted the interview and I was able to edit out most of it, but still background voices in a couple short parts.***

NOTE: This was recorded at Calgary Folk Festival on Saturday, July 26th. Due to busyness of some season the interview has been posted later and the shows they mentioned recently passed.

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 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. The band are scheduled to play across Western Canada this Summer, including their hometown Calgary Folk Music Festival and recently had their album release show in Calgary at The Ironwood Stage.
