the fuzzy ustins
(aka The FU’s) are an acoustic duo based out of San Diego, California consisting of Dustin Nichols (Mandolin, Guitar and Vocals) and Justin Conrad (Guitar,Vocals, and a mean Tambo). As songwriters and multi instrumentalists, they both contribute and collaborate on original music that spans genres and styles to create an original, eclectic sound and fresh live experience. The FU’s incorporate spontaneous jams and improvisations of original songs and obscure covers to create a unique, one of a kind performance at every show. The two longtime friends have been playing music together for over a decade and this is the most recent incarnation of their musical expression. Established in 2016, The Fuzzy Ustins have been lucky enough to perform regularly at bars, events and festivals in the San Diego and Socal area. Their first studio album is dropping Fall 2019 on Tidepool Records! Stay tuned for release dates and more exciting news coming soon!
