Stone Country Records’ Dusty Black emerges in Nashville’s vibrant music scene as an artist whose soulful, country melodies reflect a deep-rooted family legacy. Born in Texas and raised in Memphis, Dusty’s musical journey was influenced by his grandfather, Floyd Black “Junior,” who played banjo and guitar in Johnny Cash’s band, as well as by his father, Allen Black, whose country ballads instilled in Dusty a profound connection to the genre.
Music always called to Dusty—a call he answered with unwavering passion after realizing life’s fleeting nature when his father passed away. Dusty’s transition from the business world to the music stage has been marked by impressive achievements, including earning more than 17 million streams, and opening for artists as diverse as Nelly, Gary LeVox (of Rascal Flatts), Stoney LaRue and Lauren Alaina. Dusty and his music have been featured in or on American Country Network, The Boot, CMT Music, CountryLine, Heartland Network, Holler, People, MusicRow, Whiskey Riff and more.
Joining veteran label head Benny Brown’s Stone Country Records was not just a career milestone but the fulfillment of a dream Dusty shared with his late father. Dusty channels his experiences and his heritage into songs that resonate with authenticity and heart, adding a unique voice to the country music landscape while inspiring others that it’s never too late to chase those childhood dreams.
