Just back from a month-long European tour in support of their acclaimed self-titled debut LP, New Orleans roots-soul revivalists The Deslondes have lined up tours with rowdy Americana trio The Devil Makes Three and St. Louis traditionalist Pokey LaFarge to wrap up their successful year at home. The five-piece will team up with The Devil Makes Three on October 20 in Buffalo, NY, for shows in Carrboro, Nashville, Atlanta, Asheville, Minneapolis and Chicago and then join LaFarge December 2 in Springfield, MO for dates in Mobile, Memphis and all throughout Texas, before concluding with a hometown show at Tipitina’s in New Orleans on December 12.
Comprised of five songwriters – Sam Doores (vocals/guitar), Riley Downing (vocals/guitar), Dan Cutler (vocals/stand-up bass), Cameron Snyder (vocals/percussion) and John James Tourville (pedal steel/fiddle) – The Deslondes are a unique democratic collective where each musician contributes writing and arrangements and members take the lead at different times. The band endeavors to carry on the traveling troubadour tradition of their heroes Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley and John Prine and their music production and vocal arrangements are inspired by the rhythmic, high energy, and harmony-driven sounds of their other heroes, The Band and Allen Toussaint.
