Dustin Wesley Redmon (Better known as Dusty Redmon) is an American guitarist primarily known for playing in Alternative rock band The Almost and former guitarist and songwriter for Beloved and Dead Poetic. Dusty was born on May 23, 1982 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He is cousins with his bandmate, Joe Musten.
In 1999, along with Josh Moore, Joe Musten, John Brehm, and Matt Harrison (replacing founding member Shawn Dallas), Redmon formed influential indie/hardcore band Beloved. The band released an EP called The Running on Vindicated Records (later released by Solid State Records) and a full-length LP entitled Failure On. The band toured extensively for 5 years, alongside bands like Norma Jean, Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold, Zao, Further Seems Forever, Between the Buried and Me, Armor for Sleep, and many others. The band dissolved in 2005 after drummer Musten left the band.
After relocating to Philadelphia and getting married to long-time love interest Amanda Vaughn, Redmon joined friends and labelmates Dead Poetic. The band did light touring in his two-year stint, and recorded an album entitled Vices in January and February 2006. Shortly before the release of Vices, lead vocalist Brandon Rike agreed to participate in one last tour with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus before leaving Dead Poetic. The musicians did not want to continue without Brandon and decided to put Dead Poetic on hold. Since then, the band has not been seen on tour but original members claim they will record one final album with Tooth & Nail Records. Dusty Redmon and bass player John Brehm left Dead Poetic in the fall of 2006 and Dusty joined The Almost as a guitar player.
