Subdudes

The Subdudes have an exciting history of what some call a living encapsulation of American music. The four-piece band has created a vibrant cauldron of meaty grooves, jazzy dynamics, soulful R&B swagger, easy vocal harmonies, cheeky rock ‘n’ roll attitude and folky social commentary in their over 25 year career. Led by singer/ guitarist Tommy Malone and accordionistJohn Magne, The Subdudes draw most of their inspiration from the melting pot sounds of New Orleans, blending blues, gospel, funk and R& B with their own harmony vocals; their sound is also notable for the band’s substitution of a tambourine player, Steve Amedee, for a drummer. Tim Cook rounds out the band on bass.
