What is the Dusty Futon?
I'm glad you asked! The Dusty Futon was born out of the mind of Big Jon and Tyler. We both knew we wanted to do a podcast to practice our "on-air skills" behind a microphone, but we weren't exactly sure the direction we were heading.
Big Jon's garage in East County San Diego, CA was the original home of the DustyFuton. The name came from a dusty old futon that is in the garage where Big Jon lived, but it's become something more symbolic than that now. The true owner of the "original" Dusty Futon will not be named; however, he has "granted" us permission to use it. The CONCEPT of Dusty Futon has become a place where musicians can connect with their fans...for free...and for fun!
After a few episodes, Big Jon and Tyler started seeing a pattern at their recording sessions: We always ended up relating everything to music and music to life. It was then that we decided to focus on music in every episode!
Big Jon and Tyler both have a passion for music and in some very different ways. Big Jon is more of a singer/songwriter kind of guy who grew up as a percussionist and then later picked up the guitar and other instruments, while Tyler is a lead guitarist who has honed his craft through years of hacking his axe around other badass musicians.
Their personality differences shine through this monstrosity that grew out of their brainchild called...The Dusty Futon!

With the relocation of the Dusty Futon comes a new season and a new format. Longer episodes with more content, previewing local artists and talking to the geniuses, discussions about venues, and more to come! For now, enjoy as we try to bring you the ultimate Local Musicians group!
