The Dust Ruffles
Share
An original pop-rock band from Providence, Rhode Island. They have performed on stages throughout the Southern New England area and along the Eastern coast.
The Dust Ruffles, with their reputation for beautiful harmonies, retro feel, and unique pop style, are an award-winning, original, pop rock band made up of three of Rhode Island's well known musical talents. You won't want to miss the pure essence of natural talent and aural beauty of their live performances. History
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tammy Laforest began her career as a songwriter living in Rhode Island. She teamed up with Alvaro Diaz from the famed band Kanerko in 2013. Together they performed as a duo until 2014. After the release of Tammy's debut record "Copper" in 2014, Grammy nominated album producer, George Dussault, suggested that SexCoffee bassist Sharlene DeNardo join the band — a suggestion which lead to the effortless blend of voices that propelled the Dust Ruffles to new and unexpected heights. The Dust Ruffles have performed in a variety of configurations, frequently joined by an electric guitarist, but the group made the decision to remain a three-piece band in 2018 embracing the softer, upbeat sound of their trio. Releases
The Dust Ruffles released a single on Bandcamp called "Romeo" in 2015. They would later release a different version of this song on their EP "Innocent Filth." The six track EP "Innocent Filth" was released in August of 2021 for purchase and streaming.

Our next show! (date is wrong. Go on July 18)
Upstairs @ Uptown was built for nights like this. Three local acts. One stage. One night. Northeast Traffic The Dust Ruffles & Atticus Allen - Saturday, June 27.
The whole point of the Upstairs room is to make a home for original artists working right here in the Northeast - the kind of small, close-quarters show that built every music scene worth caring about. This bill is exactly that.
Come support local. Come hear something new.
