Canadian country artist Jolene Harnish is back with her new single “Dusty.” If you’re looking for a song that perfectly captures that “tell-it-like-it-is” energy, this is it.
“Dusty” is a fierce, no-BS girl-girl anthem with a sexy edge. Picture this: one woman giving another a heads up that a certain slick-talking guy is, well… dusty.
He’s slick, he’s ick, and he’ll break your heart. Jolene’s warning comes wrapped in a catchy, attitude-filled package that sticks in your head long after the song ends.
Written in Nashville alongside Ellie Rivers and Guy Branche, “Dusty” brings together grit, sass, and unforgettable hooks. Produced by Nashville heavyweights Smith Curry and Bobby Holland, this song is pretty much begging to be added to every girl power playlist out there.
Why “Dusty” Stands Out
Beyond the message, it’s the sound of “Dusty” that hooks you in right away. It’s bold and confident, with that irresistible “play it again” factor. The production gives it a polished Nashville shine, but there’s still that raw edge that makes Jolene’s music feel authentic and real.
Whether you’re blasting it on a road trip with your besties or dancing around your kitchen with a glass of wine, “Dusty” is one of those songs that makes you feel unstoppable.
Meet Jolene Harnish
If Jolene Harnish’s name sounds familiar, you might’ve seen her on our site before. We’ve chatted with her about her single “One Road Town” here and dug into her story in this interview. She’s also dropped catchy tracks like “Eat The Cake” that show off her fearless spirit and infectious energy.
Hailing from Nova Scotia, Jolene grew up surrounded by music and started performing before she could even walk. She’s a multi-talented country artist and entrepreneur who somehow manages to juggle it all — from recording new music to running her business ventures. She even fronts her own band, Rugged Lace, delivering high-energy shows that keep audiences coming back for more.
Over the years, Jolene has racked up some impressive milestones. She’s performed at major festivals, hit the national radio waves (including SiriusXM), and worked alongside some of Nashville’s most respected producers and songwriters. And if her long list of accomplishments isn’t inspiring enough, Jolene’s motto is all about going after your dreams — no matter where you’re at in life.
A True Force in Canadian Country
From her early days performing at family parties (singing anything from Madonna to Tanya Tucker) to her latest Nashville-written anthem, Jolene Harnish keeps proving she’s a force to be reckoned with.

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
