The Dukes

Don't miss the ride

About Me

All over the South West, The Dukes are engaging audiences with their modern take on the oldest forms of popular music. With country, blues and funk influences thrown into the mix, there is certainly no shortage of originality, and the unique genre of music they’re creating is compelling crowds of all tastes to the dance floor. The Dukes fly by the seat of their musical instincts, openly demonstrating a love for what they play, providing a visual performance as well a musical one. A tight rhythm section of funk drumming and driving bass provide the appropriate back line for harmonica, toe tapping fiddle, lap steel slide guitar and searing vocals. Don't miss the ride!

Sounds Like: REVIEW: 'In four pairs of jeans, three neckerchiefs, and one handlebar moustache The Dukes served up a generous slice of blues and country-flavoured rock. Slide guitar and Johnny Cash-inspired riffs teamed with lung-busting vocals gave the band a foot-stomping stage presence worthy of a genuine hootenanny hoedown.' Abigail Edge - The Herald, Plymouth.
