Ep 239: Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen

In this episode of The Popko Project Podcast, Popko catches up with blues-rock powerhouse Dustin Douglas to celebrate the release of his band, Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen, brand-new album, IV.
Two years after their last podcast hang, Dustin returns to dive into the creative journey behind IV — from writing and recording to hitting the road and turning up the volume. They talk about the album’s bold lead single “Long Gone,” the risks and rewards of pushing musical boundaries, and what it means to stay rooted in Northeastern Pennsylvania while building a national fanbase.
With signature honesty, humor, and a few unexpected detours (including mulch, lawn tractors, and the return of JNCO jeans), this conversation is a mix of music talk and real-life reflection.
🎧 Tune in for:
-Behind-the-scenes stories from the making of IV
-Musical influences ranging from Zeppelin to Candlebox
-The evolution of Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen
-Upcoming shows — including dates with Hinder and MusicFest
This one’s for the rock and roll diehards.
