Music wasn’t just another option in Dustin Pittsley’s head. It was the only option. The Tulsa-based musician, 33, has been at it for nearly 20 years, and his band’s ready to release its self-titled effort. “Dustin Pittsley Band” is a collection of confident rock material with a funky, Americana twist.

The record’s official release date is Nov. 11 via Horton Records but you can stream the album highlight “Satellite” below.

“I started writing ‘Satellite’ because I didn’t know what direction to start taking the new music in,” Pittsley said in a phone interview.

“Things weren’t in a lull, but I felt like I was floating and needed to change something. That’s the basis of the song and it led to the style of the rest of the record.”

Pittsley toyed around with multiple versions of the song before it landed on the album. He said he’s eager for people to hear it. After all, it’s a culmination of his tireless dedication to creating music.

“I started playing music so along ago, it’s the only thing I’ve ever really known,” Pittsley said. “Whether I was rich or poor, it didn’t matter. It’s what I was supposed to do.”
