Dustin Dreiling
Bass Guitar, Vocals, Webmaster
The newest member of the Southwind family, Dustin joined the band in the fall of 2003 after seeing their show and wanting to be a part of the madness.  He has played the bass for almost two decades and brings a ton of live music experience to the group.  With a background in rock and blues, he has played professionally since the age of 17 and has even spent time in the studio recording for acts such as the Doobie Bros.  Dustin also provides tight harmonies and some impressive lead vocals on a few songs, as well as playing lead guitar every so often.  It's very clear when watching him perform, however, that his first love is laying the foundation with the bass and locking the rhythm section down with Adam.  The biggest impact that Dustin has brought to the band is the level of energy and excitement in the live show.  Using his history of music theory and the influences of Sting, John Paul Jones, Paul McCartney, and Geddy Lee among others, Dustin was the right guy to help launch Southwind to the next level.
