About Dust-to-Digital
Amplifying Rare Music from Around the World
For more than two decades, Dust-to-Digital has curated, restored, and presented hard-to-access music.
Founded by Lance Ledbetter in 1999, Dust-to-Digital is directed by the husband-wife team of Lance and April Ledbetter in Atlanta, Georgia. Dust-to-Digital began its mission of creating access to hard-to-find music by producing high-quality books, box sets, CDs, DVDs, and vinyl records. The company continues those efforts and has also evolved to the format standards of today — namely the computer and mobile phone. By combining research with images, audio, and videos, Dust-to-Digital continues to entertain and to educate new audiences of adventurous listeners.
Lance Ledbetter is the co-founder of Dust-to-Digital, alongside April Ledbetter. He is a key figure in the preservation and promotion of roots music, focusing on historical recordings and cultural heritage. Under his guidance, Dust-to-Digital has released a number of critically-acclaimed albums, often highlighting rare and forgotten music. Lance is known for his passion for authenticity in music and his commitment to sharing the stories behind the recordings, which is exemplified in his curation of Dust-to-Digital's various social media channels.
