If you'd like to be the first to know when new events are announced, you can follow FUST below.
Fust are a Southern rock band from Durham, North Carolina, led by songwriter Aaron Dowdy. Known for their poetic lyricism and soulful storytelling, the group explore what it means to be from the modern American South — the beauty, the hardship and the history that binds them. Their latest album, Big Ugly (2025), released on Dear Life Records, finds Dowdy and his bandmates weaving vivid tales of small-town life through dusty guitars, warm harmonies and richly drawn characters. Recorded with producer Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Wednesday), the record features guests including Dave Hartley of The War on Drugs and John James Tourville of The Deslondes, and captures the rugged elegance that defines their sound.
Formed around Dowdy’s heartfelt songwriting and lived experience of the American South, Fust have built a growing reputation for their magnetic live performances and introspective storytelling. Drawing comparisons to Drive-By Truckers and Silver Jews, the band’s mix of country grit and lyrical grace continues to resonate with audiences far beyond their roots. With Big Ugly, Fust stands firmly as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Southern rock.
Ticket prices may vary depending on venue and location. Full pricing details are available on each individual event page.
