After piecing a band together with various players for years, Dustin Bentall feels it's all come together now.

When the Dustin Bentall Outfit comes to Comox next weekend to play the Filberg Festival, the roots/country rocker from Vancouver will be joined by fiddle player Kendel Carson, guitarist Adam Dobres, bass player Del Cowsill and drummer Rich Knox.

. . .

John Ellis, who produced Bentall's first two records, 2007's Streets With No Lights and 2009's Six Shooter in Ashcroft, had just done some gigs with Cowsill, and he suggested Bentall get together with Cowsill because he's such a great bass player and he didn't have a band, explained Bentall.

Cowsill came on board, and he, Dobres and Carson were all part of Six Shooter.
