Subdudes

Legendary New Orleans roots band the subdudes make a stop at the Tralf Music Hall next Thursday (June 14) at 9pm. The ‘dudes just completed a new CD titled Street Symphony which was recorded this spring in Nashville. The 20 year old band cooks up a bubbling mix of Cajun, blues, gospel, funk and R & B seasoned with soulful harmonies and spiced with the rhythmic snap of Steve Amedee’s tambourine. The show is part of the “Big Easy in Buffalo” series put on by the Niagara Erie Regional Coalition and Robbie Takac’s Music Is Art Foundation. The series is a true win-win-win situation, providing gigs to New Orleans musicians hard-hit after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita while generating money for local music education programs. The other “win” is that we get to hear some of the best acts New Orleans has to offer for the low admission price of $15.
