It's been a long road for Singer,
Songwriter cum Guitarist
Born in New Orleans, Tommy Malone's love for music shaped up as a
teenager. He heard his parent's records — blue-collar classics by Hank Williams,
Johnny Cash and Johnny Horton. He and his older brother Dave began playing
professionally in a long string of diverse bands. That list includes his
high school band Elroy (with future subdude Steve Amedee); the country-rock
band Dust Woofie; an electrified jug band with Kurt Kasson and the Wheeler
sisters. One night at Tipitina’s, the two musicians played with bassist
Johnny Allen and percussionist Steve Amedee, and the Subdudes were born.
Practically every major newspaper and magazine including the New York Times
to Rolling Stone lauded the band, and their tours took them from London’s
Royal Albert Hall to the Newport Folk Festival. Tommy Malone is now giving
individual performances. His new CD titled "Hide & Seek" is Malone’s debut
as a solo artist. |
