Two-Step Tuesday with Dusty Rust and Dance Lessons

Head to Showdown Saloon in Portland for a country night built around dancing and live music. The evening opens with dance lessons, giving newcomers a chance to learn the steps before the band takes the stage. It's a welcoming, hands-on way to experience two-stepping in an intimate honky-tonk setting.

Dusty Rust, a country and rock artist from Lewiston, Idaho, leads the band. He's known for his raw energy and storytelling, with roots in the Kansas City country scene and a string of self-produced albums. His performances have shared stages with artists like Dale Watson and Whitey Morgan, and his current project, "Broken Saddle," is set for release this fall.

The event is part of the Pickathon Presents series, adding a curated touch to the evening. With a 21+ age limit and a focus on dance and live country music, it's a straightforward night out for fans of the genre.
