The Deslondes

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. The band's music is laid-back but committed, with a groove that pulls together their influences in country, blues, rock & roll, and swamp pop, along with a lyrical warmth and honesty. The group's first two albums, 2015's The Deslondes and 2017's Hurry Home, captured their loosely tight approach with naturalistic studio technique, and 2022's Ways & Means, cut after a hiatus, and 2024's Roll It Out filled out their arrangements and added additional instrumental flavors without spoiling their easygoing, dusty vibe.
