Assembly of Dust

Led by singer-songwriter Reid Genauer, Assembly of Dust occupies a singular place in American roots music. Genauer’s songs—rich in character, wit, and emotional insight—have earned comparisons to Paul Simon, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson while establishing a voice that is unmistakably his own.

Following the success of Strangefolk, Genauer formed Assembly of Dust in 2002, building a catalog that values timeless songwriting over trends and earning a devoted national audience through relentless touring and unforgettable live performances. Assembly of Dust pairs those songs with a band equally comfortable delivering intimate acoustic moments or expansive musical exploration, creating concerts that reward both careful listening and joyful abandon.

From Strangefolk to Assembly of Dust, Reid Genauer has spent more than three decades writing songs that have become part of the soundtrack of his listeners’ lives, cementing his reputation as one of the most distinctive songwriters in contemporary American roots music.
