Dudley Saunders

Band Information

Like k.d. lang and Laurie Anderson, singer/songwriter Dudley Saunders began his music career first as a critically-acclaimed “transgressive” performance artist - only to find the experimental folk music he wrote for his pieces take over his career.

Described by critics as "surreal, modern folk tales," Dudley's performance pieces were a fixture on New York's East Village scene in the late '80s and 90s. But as he began to merge the Appalachian music of his native Kentucky with the post-modern art-rock and jazz he heard at New York’s Knitting Factory, he began to draw an entirely new audience who convinced him to pour all his surreal images into the songs.
