the subdudes at Appel Farm

In 1987, four musicians got together for what they envisioned would be a one-time performance at Tipitina’s in New Orleans. It was a night of mostly acoustic music – sparse instrumentation with a strong emphasis on songwriting and vocal harmonies. The show far exceeded expectations, and on that March night the subdudes were born. Nearly 10 years later, after five well received albums and several years of hard touring, the subdudes called it quits. Spinoff projects ensued, as did the occasional reunion show. Finally, in 2002, three of the four original band members decided to get back together. They recruited additional long time friends to fill out the sound and called themselves the Dudes, but the music was still unmistakably subdudes. Today, they are once again the subdudes. And there’s still nobody in the world that sounds like them.
