Lance Ledbetter is the owner of Dust-to-Digital, a record company that reissues vintage roots and traditional music. In 2004 Dust-to-Digital received two Grammy nominations for its inaugural release, a six CD gospel box set called “Goodbye, Babylon.” Since then, the company has received three more Grammy nominations and has had its releases featured in such publications as Billboard, Bon Appétit, London Times, Mojo, Moscow Times, New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin, Washington Post and USA Today.

In 2008, The New Yorker featured Dust-to-Digital in its April 28th issue. In the piece, Burkhard Bilger wrote "Ledbetter has an encyclopedic knowledge of American blues, country, and folk music, and has released what many consider the greatest gospel compilation ever made..."

In February 2009, Ledbetter won the Grammy Award for Best Historical Album for the title “Art of Field of Field Recording: Volume I : 50 Years of Traditional American Music Documented by Art Rosenbaum.”

For his contribution to the exhibition at the Marcia Wood Gallery, Ledbetter has prepared a multimedia piece focusing on the research and music he has compiled over the past decade. It will look at the past, present and future of the music he loves.
