Groupe
Country Rock US basé à New Orleans (Louisiane). Les deslondes sont composés de
Dan Cutler, Cameron Snyder, Riley Downing, John James Tourville et Sam Doores
Bringing
their own style of down-home, rootsy twang to the home of the blues, the
Deslondes are a band of rough but tuneful troubadours who found their voice when
they settled in New Orleans, Louisiana. The story of the Deslondes began when
singer and guitarist Sam Doores and percussionist and singer Cameron Snyder met
while the two were college students in the Pacific Northwest. Both were
interested in music, and Doores found a potent source of fresh inspiration when
he read Woody Guthrie's memoirs, Bound
for Glory. Doores and Snyder decided to quit school and hit the road, doing some
hard traveling with their band the Broken Wing Routine, and they even landed a
gig at Woodyfest, also known as the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, an annual event
in Okemah, Oklahoma. While in Okemah, Doores and Snyder met some like-minded
musicians, including singer and guitarist Riley Downing and bassist Dan Cutler.
When the Broken Wing Routine splintered, Doores and Cutler headed to New Orleans
and formed a country-influenced band called the Tumbleweeds; Snyder, meanwhile,
was playing with the Longtime Goners when he met John James Tourville, who
played fiddle and pedal steel. In time, Snyder, Tourville, and Downing all made
their way to New Orleans, and began jamming with the Tumbleweeds at their
practice spot, an abandoned high school in the Lower Ninth Ward that had been
empty since Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. The five musicians adopted a new band
name, the Deslondes, taken from a street in the Lower Ninth's Holy Cross
neighborhood, and they found kindred spirits in another New Orleans outfit,
Hurray for the Riff Raff, with Doores and Cutler performing in both groups for a
while. Between developing a loyal following at home and impressing audiences on
the road opening for Hurray for the Riff Raff, word began to spread about the
Deslondes, and New West Records signed the band to a recording contract,
releasing their self-titled debut album in June 2015.
