He had to have it.
In June of 2002 at the age of 27 he decided to give up the aircraft job and move to Nashville and try his hand at the business professionally.

Very soon Dusty, started appearing at the Broken Spoke Songwriter''s Cafe and Saloon regularly in Nashville. He won several Talent contests at the Nashville Palace as well. There, he met Vern Gosdin who also became another close and important friend.
During one performance at Tootsie''s, Dusty met Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry and was approached during a break and said "he had heard Dusty''s name around town." This of course brought much excitement because he''d only been there 4 months.
Next, Dusty traveled to Elkhart, Indiana and appeared on the ELCO Theater''s Hoosier Hayride Opry plus other local shows around northern Indiana and southern Michigan.
This is also where Dusty began putting together his new and the group became known as Dusty Burke and Southern Justice. Together they played a show at the Nashville Palace the Saturday before Thanksgiving 2003 and got an enormous response from the packed house. Word got around town rather quickly, so Dusty and his band went into Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville the early part of January ,2004 and cut their first all original cd along with 4 songs from Conrad Pierce.
