THE SUBDUDES at Emelin Theatre

The Subdudes are one of America’s national music treasures, and long-time Emelin favorite. You feel an instant rapport the minute these guys take the stage. They love what they do, and we love how they do it. The New Orleans-formed group is a living encapsulation of American music, a vibrant cauldron of sounds that stirs together meaty grooves and jazzy dynamics, soulful R&B swagger, easy vocal harmonies, cheeky rock ‘n’ roll attitude and folky social consciousness — not to mention some of the sharpest musicianship and ensemble playing you’ll ever hear from any four musicians.
