The Smoky Dunes are a Wilmington-based bluegrass duo comprised of guitarists Drew Walker and Marshall Brown. They have immersed themselves in the traditional styles of acoustic fingerpicking and flat-picking, calling on tunes from the many musical tributaries of Appalachian folk music. You’ll find those high lonesome harmonies, flat-picking standards, and finger bustin’ Merle Travis tunes on the set list, but you’ll always hear some of their original compositions, as well. The Smoky Dunes have been featured in music venues across Wilmington, as well as on WECT News and at Thalian Hall. Drew and Marshall are also equally comfortable creating good times at weddings, private parties, and corporate events.” You can find out more about The Smoky Dunes on Instagram, Bandcamp, Youtube, or Facebook.
