 NEW SINGLE “POOR MAN’S PARADISE”

 #1 MOST ADDED AT FMQB AMERICANA CHART,

 #2 COMBINED AT R&R;

 OVER 50 DATES OF FALL TOUR CONFIRMED

 

“My friend Clyde lost his house/When the big winds blew
And things have been a little rough/But there’s still fish in the bayou
He can whip up court bouillon/Whistling’ Jolie Blon
In his Poor Man’s Paradise/Sure is nice”
–“Poor Man’s Paradise”

 

As the subdudes launched a massive 50-dates-plus U.S. tour July 15 in advance of the August 28 release of their new album STREET SYMPHONY, the first single “Poor Man’s Paradise” is making major waves at radio.  A stark look at the devastation in New Orleans (where the group initially formed), the song was the #1 most added Americana song at trade publication FMQB two weeks in a row and #2 most added combined at R&R, with over 45 stations adding the song.

 

“Poor Man’s Paradise” was written by the entire group–TIM COOK, bass and vocals; TOMMY MALONE, vocals, acoustic, electric, and slide guitars; JOHN MAGNIE, vocals, accordion, keyboards; JIMMY MESSA, bass and guitar; and STEVE AMEDÉE, tambourine, drums, percussions, vocals–while recording the album with producer George Massenburg.  The group says, “The song represents the strength of the human spirit and the power of resolve amidst tragedy.”

 

A vibrant cauldron of sounds that brings together meaty grooves and jazzy dynamics, soulful R&B swagger and easy vocal harmonies, STREET SYMPHONY is the group’s seventh album and third for Manhattan*Back Porch Records.

 

the subdudes kicked off a major leg of touring this past weekend in New York, with over 50 dates booked into November.  For more, check out www.subdudes.com.
