New Orleans tunes performed by The Subdudes

NEWTON — The Subdudes will perform at The Newton Theatre on Thursday, April 30 at 8 p.m.

Over the course of 25 years and 10 albums, 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.

Led by singer/guitarist Tommy Malone and accordionist John Magnie, The Subdudes draw most of their inspiration from the sounds of their native 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.

Tickets cost $47 for premium seating, $42 for orchestra and $37 for balcony. Purchase tickets by visiting www.thenewtontheatre.com or contact the box office at 973-383-3700.
