Description:
Gillie's welcomes The Fustics and their special guests Driftin' Westward for Gillie's Late Night on Friday, February 22nd.

Hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina, The Fustics continue to expand their audience throughout the east coast with spirited live shows, and acclaimed studio releases. Blending an array of musical genres into their own distinctive style, the band has evolved from humble acoustic beginnings to a high-energy touring outfit. Incorporating a slab of blues, gallons of folk, a pint of punk, and a hint of country within their blue-collar rock, The Fustics have increased their base through radio, the internet, print media, and a heavy touring schedule.

Voted Wilmington’s “Best Original Rock Band,” these poets of the underclass continue to impress audiences alike with a style, sound, and voice that is truly their own.

Hailing from a small remote town nestled deep in the coal fields of the Appalachian mountains of Virginia, Driftin’ Westward has painted a vibrant sound-scape resonating deep within the influences and stories of the valley’s and mountains once called home. The brainchild of eccentric songwriter and sole member K.T. Vandyke, a young up-and-comer from the Appalachian region, DW constructs a compelling and unique sound present in the music, all the while pulling the audience in with elegant and mesmerizing wordplay.

Driftin’ Westward in its brief lifespan over the past two years has toured the east coast and shared the stage with great artists such as Rhonda Vincent, Larry Keel and Natural Bridge, Papadosio, Iron Horse, If Birds Could Fly, Devon Allman, and more.
