The Deslondes are a critically acclaimed American band hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, with a sound deeply rooted in folk, soul, and R&B, underpinned by the rich traditions of the American South. Formed in 2013, the group consists of Sam Doores, Riley Downing, Cameron Snyder, John James Tourville, and Dan Cutler, who together create a blend of music that evokes the spirit of classic country, rock'n'roll, and blues. Naming themselves after the street in the Holy Cross neighborhood where they came together, The Deslondes have cultivated a nostalgic yet fresh sound that pays homage to the musical giants of the past while forging their path.

Their self-titled debut album, released in 2015, introduced their signature style, a mix of twangy guitars, soulful harmonies, and stories that paint vivid pictures of life and longing in the heartland. The Deslondes followed up with "Hurry Home" in 2017, an album that showcased their growth as songwriters and musicians, and expanded their sonic palette. Amidst their discography, fans find gems like "Fought the Blues and Won" and "Yum Yum," songs that perfectly encapsulate their ability to spin poignant, timeless tales. Always emanating an air of wanderlust and the warm, ramshackle feel of a backyard jam session, The Deslondes continue to build their repertoire with heartfelt narratives and melodies that resonate with a wide array of listeners, as seen in more recent releases such as "Ways & Means" and "Five Year Plan."
