In 1987, four musicians got together for what they envisioned would be a one- time performance at Tipitinas 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 23 years later, after numerous well-received albums and several years of hard touring, The Subdudes (Tommy Malone, John Magnie, Steve Amedee, Tim Cook and Jimmy Messa) keep groovin along with the release of their newest album, FLOWER PETALS.
