Biography
Guitarist Les Dudek has played with some of rock and pop’s biggest names (Stevie Nicks, Steve Miller, Dave Mason, Cher, Boz Scaggs, and the Allman Brothers Band, among others), in addition to issuing solo albums on his own. Born on August 2, 1957, in Rhode Island, Dudek began playing guitar at the age of 11 (first inspired by such pop hitmakers as Elvis Presley and the Beatles), and only three years later, would sneak into bars to play with bands. It was during his teenaged years that Dudek discovered such blues masters as Freddie, Albert, and B.
B. King, as well as such then-modern day blues rockers as Paul Butterfield and Steve Miller. By the early ’70s, Dudek was residing in Florida, playing in the obscure group Power, whose keyboard player was friends with the Allman Brothers’ Dickey Betts. Soon a friendship was struck up between Betts and Dudek, as Betts contemplated forming a side band in addition to his Allman duties. The duo cut some demos, but the group was disbanded when work on the Allman’s classic Brothers and Sisters album got underway. But Dudek was present for the recording sessions, laying down some guitar lines alongside Betts on “Ramblin’ Man” and helping co-write one of the Allman’s best-known songs, “Jessica” (for which Dudek also played on).
After his brief detour with the Allman Brothers, Dudek signed on with Boz Skaggs, playing with him for five years and appearing on the 1976 release Silk Degrees.
