"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, 1952, 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 Scaggs, playing with him for five years and appearing on the 1976 release Silk Degrees. Dudek became friends with one of his main guitar influences during this time, Steve Miller, leading to a co-headlining tour between Scaggs and Miller, which saw Dudek appearing with both artists each night. (Miller would subsequently record a few of Dudek's original compositions, including "Sacrifice" for his Book of Dreams release, while Dudek also played on Miller's Fly Like an Eagle album.) A planned acoustic tour with just Dudek and Miller was shelved at the last minute, as Dudek returned for a tour with Scaggs. With all this activity, Dudek still found time to sign a solo deal with Columbia Records, issuing four albums between 1976 and 1981 -- 1976's self-titled debut, 1977's Say No More, 1978's Ghost Town Parade, and 1981's Gypsy Ride -- as well as launching the DFK Band (which saw Dudek joined by keyboardist Mike Finnigan and guitarist Jim Krueger), who issued a lone, self-titled release in 1979. 

Dudek also played with Cher briefly in the early '80s, as the famous singer attempted to launch a rock-based outfit, Cher & Black Rose, which failed to get off the ground due to record label turmoil. Cher launched her successful movie acting career shortly thereafter and even helped Dudek land a bit part in 1985's Mask as a boyfriend (Cher and Dudek demoed a song for the movie which has remained unissued). Dudek then guested on Stevie Nicks' 1985 release, Rock a Little, and was the guitarist on the album's ensuing tour. The '90s saw Dudek return to his blues roots, as he appeared on Steve Miller's back-to-basics release, 1993's Wide River, and issued his fifth solo release overall, 1994's Deeper Shade of Blues."

Les Dudek: A Man Hiding His Family Life With Wife and Children Or Doesn't Have Any?

Les Dudek: A Man Hiding His Family Life With Wife and Children Or Doesn't Have Any?

Everyone needs privacy in certain aspects of their life. But fans would be fans; they would love to know every possible detail regarding their life. However, there exist some celebrities who have kept the details regarding their personal life inside the closed box after allowing their fans to read their professional life like an open book.

The sixty-five-years old American guitarist Les Dudek falls under the same category, as he hasn’t uttered a single word regarding their life off the stage. However, we have collected some information regarding his love life. Aren’t you interested to find out about the lady with whom Dudek shared a romantic relationship?

Keep reading and find out!

Les Dudek’s Hush-Hush Love Life:

Dudek, who has worked with some of the rock and pop's biggest names, have several eyes watching him, and people are interested in his personal life. Since it’s completely his choice whether to reveal the information regarding his personal life or not, he has been doing the same.

Well, Dudek’s fiercely guarded personal life has made his fans wonder about his relationship status, married life, his wife, and children. Since Dudek loves keeping the details behind the curtains, the answers to these questions have always been unanswered.

Thus, it's uncertain if Dudek is enjoying a family life with girlfriend or wife secretly, or happens to be single.

But when a person digs the love life of Dudek, he/she will come across the details regarding Dudek’s romantic affair with American actress and singer Cher, who is six years older than him. 

Dudek dated Cher for two years from 1980 to 1982. They first met when Cher decided to reinvent herself as a rock star by forming a band called Black Rose.

Dudek initially auditioned as a guitarist and was able to win the job, as well as the lady love. However, his relationship with Cher was very on and off. When the albums of the band were not able to win the hearts of the people, Cher dumped band as well as Dudek.

Though Dudek had to leave the band and his love, he certainly didn’t struggle for long. He then showed his musical skills in the 1984 movie Mask and also made an appearance as “Boner”- a biker in the film.

Likewise, he appeared in the TV movie, Streets of Justice in 1985.

Dudek, who is popular for his solo album Delta Breeze, toured earlier this year in states including   Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and ended the tour by performing in Boulder Station Casino in Las Vegas on August 2017.

Till the day, Dudek has released several solo albums and has collaborated and played songs with biggest names and bands, like Steve Miller Band, Steve Nicks, the Allman Brothers Band and Boz Scaggs.

Stay with us for the budding updates on Les Dudek!

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Reflections on the Macon Scene & More, An Interview with Les Dudek

  • June 19, 2004
  • No Comments

les dudek tour

Betts’ band didn’t actually go forward but Dudek quickly became immersed in the Macon music scene. He lived with Allman roadie (and eventual Grinderswitch bassist) Joe Dan Petty. Dudek jammed with anyone and everyone. “Back then, it was like, anything that would go on in that town, at the drop of a hat, let’s back the truck up and jam, let’s pull the gear out. It was a real big music scene for such a small town in the south” Dudek recalls. “Man, we’d play all the time. We’d show up at Grant’s Lounge, this little bar downtown, there’d be like ten people in the bar. By the time we finished the first tune, you couldn’t move in there, it’d turn into one big jam session. I just wish they had camcorders back in those days. You could feel Duane’s spirit everywhere.” (A picture from Grant’s with Gregg Allman and Dudek can be found at Dudek’s website, www.lesdudek.com ).

Dudek’s playing ability did not go unnoticed. Capricorn Records head Phil Walden signed Dudek to a personal contract. Walden had plans for Dudek to become a member of the Allman Brothers Band. Instead, Dudek only ended up playing on the “Brothers and Sisters” release. He is featured playing guitar on the songs “Ramblin’ Man” and “Jessica” two of the group’s most well known songs.

One evening Dudek was invited to a session as the band worked on “Ramblin’ Man”. Dudek states, “They’d be working on the tune and Dickey would come in the control room and ask “what do you think, how does it sound?” Dudek had made a few suggestions when Betts asked Les to strap on his guitar and play. “I went from local bands in Florida to standing where Duane would have stood. It was a big thrill for me,” Dudek remembers, “a very surreal feeling.”

During the same recording sessions for “Brothers and Sisters” not all of the original ABB members warmed to Dudek’s presence. “Berry (Oakley, the group’s original bassist) hardly said two words to me the whole time. The same thing would happen at clubs. I would be in Grant’s Lounge and Berry would be at the other end of the bar, just staring at me. I finally asked Dickey, man, why is he doing that? That’s when Dickey said “you remind us so much of Duane sometimes, it’s weird.”

While the “Brothers and Sisters” recording progressed (Lamar Williams eventually becoming the bass player after Oakley tragically died), so too did another recording project, Gregg Allman’s first solo effort, “Laid Back”.

One night while the sessions unfolded, Gregg gave Dudek a gift, Duane’s National dobro. “He said I want you to play dobro on “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?”, here’s Duane’s dobro, I want you to have it. I went home and worked up something really great for it.” The next day when Gregg told the record’s producer Johnny Sandlin his idea for the dobro part, Sandlin, according to Dudek, refused the suggestion. “He said I don’t hear (picture) any dobro on this song.” Dudek was so disgusted that he gave the dobro back to Gregg.

The ABB wasn’t the only band noticing Dudek’s considerable prowess on guitar. “Toy Caldwell wanted me to play with Marshall Tucker in the beginning.” Dudek declined because he wasn’t comfortable with the heavier country flavorings of MTB music. “For me it was just too country. It just didn’t light my fire,” Dudek remembers. Former roommate Petty also wanted Les to be a part of Petty’s new band, Grinderswitch. Instead, Dudek helped recruit several players that became original members.

Since it was becoming obvious that Walden’s goal to get him in the Allmans wasn’t going to happen, Les exercised other options. Boz Scaggs, who had contributions from Duane Allman on Scaggs’ self titled 1969 album, came courting. He wanted Les to help him on an upcoming tour. Dudek accepted.

When asked about Duane’s memorable contribution to Scaggs’ cover of Fenton Robinson’s “Loan Me A Dime”, Les recalls little influence from Allman on how Dudek approached the song during concerts. “I might have heard (that version) once or twice, but I never really dwelled on it. When I do a blues number, I do it from my gut.” Dudek does cite a mutual influence on how both he and Duane developed their slide guitar styles. Dudek states, “If you listen to some early Ry Cooder and then just imagine it being electric, that’s Duane Allman. Basically, I got a lot of the same licks from Ry as Duane did, and so people thought I sounded a lot like Duane, really I sound like Ry Cooder, just electric.”

Like Allman, Dudek uses glass while playing slide guitar. Dudek relates, “I actually have one of Duane’s original Coricidan bottles, it was given to me by Joe Dan.” He states, “Duane and I use glass, but the real secret is we use our fingers to pick. It’s a whole different tone, it sings a lot more.”

Additionally, Petty gave Dudek a belt steeped in Allman tradition. “It was originally Duane’s, he gave it to Berry who in turn gave it to Joe Dan. When Berry died, Joe Dan gave it to me.” Dudek keeps the belt on his mantle, along with a picture of Oakley wearing it. “I’m the keeper of the belt,” Dudek says smiling.

As Dudek was touring with Scaggs, another musician became very interested in him. Steve Miller noticed Dudek in Scaggs’ band while they opened on Miller’s “The Joker” tour. Once the “Joker” tour ended, Miller invited Dudek to Seattle to do some recording and to hang out. That union lead to Dudek contributing his songwriting and guitar skills to numerous Miller albums such as “Book of Dreams”, “Living In The Twentieth Century”, “Fly Like An Eagle” and “Wide River.”

With some of the musicians he’d become acquainted with through those tours, Dudek made some demos and attempted to secure a record deal. He found no initial takers. During that same period, in San Francisco, a new band was forming. He was invited to their first rehearsal. The band was Journey. “As I look back, that’s one band that I should have done, if they’d have had the lead singer. They were all great players but I didn’t hear any tunes, I didn’t hear a singer. In retrospect, if Perry (singer Steve Perry) would have been there in the beginning, I would have probably done the thing.” That same day, Columbia Records offered Dudek his own solo deal, which he accepted.

From 1976 through 1981, Dudek released four critically acclaimed records on Columbia. During that same time he also appeared on another album with fellow musicians Jim Krueger and Mike Finnigan. Dudek, Finnigan and Krueger was released in 1978. DFK made one tour before disbanding. Dudek remembers “we had some incredible material, some of it still unreleased”. In remembrance of Krueger, who died in 1993, Dudek is planning on incorporating an acoustic set into his shows to play a Krueger penned song (made famous by Dave Mason) “We Just Disagree”.

In 1980, Dudek appeared with The Black Rose Band, a group including then girlfriend, Cher. According to Dudek, after several performances and an appearance on “Midnight Special” and “The Merv Griffin Show”, the band failed due to Casablanca Records folding after its founder Neil Bogart died. Dudek’s association with Cher lasted longer.

In 1985, he appeared in the movie “Mask” along with Cher, Eric Stoltz and Sam Elliott. Dudek played Cher’s motorcycle riding boyfriend, “Bone Tyson.” He also wrote some music that was intended for an accompanying movie soundtrack. Due to some scene cuts and editing which disappointed the film’s director Peter Bogdanovich, the compositions were not included in the film. After many years, one, “Behind The Mask” appears on Dudek’s most recent release (2002) “Freestyle”. The song has an added second verse that Dudek wrote after his mother passed away in 2000. “That was a very difficult time for me,” he says. Dudek quickly points out the never ending support from both of his parents and his sister, Sandi. “I thank the Lord every day for all the sacrifices that they made for me (Dudek’s father died in 1985).”

The inclusion of “Behind The Mask” is only one of several songs developed years ago that are present on “Freestyle”. The melancholy ballad “Another Love” was pursued for inclusion on a Huey Lewis & The News release in the 1980’s. “Huey Lewis got a hold of the tune and he wanted to do it. He was romancin’ me about it and had his manager call me.” Dudek decided to keep the song for himself. The title track from “Freestyle” was co-written by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame. Dudek says that “Freestyle” contains many of the better songs that he’s written since leaving CBS Records in 1982.

Dudek and Nicks first played together at her home in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles and later at some area clubs in the mid-1980’s. Dudek joined Nicks’ touring band to support her “Whole Lotta Trouble” tour in 1991. He also put in a stint with John Kay & Steppenwolf in 1989 followed in 1990 by extensive tours of the U.S. and Europe by his solo band.

After the tours in 1990, Dudek began recording with long-time friend and drummer Jeff Porcaro (Toto). Those sessions and other work lead to the 1994 release “Deeper Shades of Blues”. Porcaro many years previously had been rehearsing with Dudek when the melody line to “Old Judge Jones” emerged. “Jones” appeared on Dudek’s “Say No More” album which is Dudek’s only Columbia release presently available. Dudek has been trying to influence Sony’s Legacy division to release his other three solo efforts. Additionally, Dudek would like to release a “Best Of” anthology set, which would feature artists that have performed his compositions and songs that Dudek provided guitar work for such as Steve Miller, Dave Mason and Maria Muldaur. An anthology would also include new works (“I have another album that I’ve written over the last several years” he states) plus some vintage previously unreleased material. He recalls incredible jams with Jaimoe, Butch Trucks and Leavell. Those took place during the “Brothers and Sisters” sessions after Allman, Betts, or both would “get frustrated and leave.”

Dudek currently tours in a trio format with drummer Ernie Peghini, who has worked with guitarist Pat Travers, and bassist/vocalist Chris Dawson. Dudek also sings in addition to his guitar work.

After so many tours, experiences and collaborations Dudek mentions two particular jam sessions that stand out. “Once in Phoenix, Miller and I are sitting in the trailer tuning guitars and rap, tap, tap on the door.” Elton John, who was in the area on a tennis vacation, enters. Miller invites him to come on stage and play. John declines since he “just couldn’t do it.” After John leaves, Dudek tells Miller maybe they should have insisted more. Miller says “he’ll be back.” Sure enough, more tapping at the door, and the Englishman returns. Later, they all play on Little Richard’s “Lucille.” How did Miller know the famous rock star would return? Dudek laughs, “well, after all, for not being prepared, he had on a matching lime green outfit and just happened to have three backup singers with him.”

The other memorable occasion was one of the many jamming opportunities in Macon. It occurred at the wedding of Red Dog (Joseph Campbell, long-time Allman roadie). It involved Dudek, Gregg Allman, Berry Oakley, Jaimoe, Butch Trucks and Ricky Hirsch and Jimmy Hall from the band Wet Willie. “We must have jammed for four hours straight, we never stopped.” It was after that occasion that Oakley went out of his way to speak to Les for the first time. Dudek recalls, “I remember leaning down and wiping my guitar off. I get a tap on my shoulder, and I look up and it’s Berry. “Man you played your ass off tonight. Let’s jam again this week,” Oakley told Dudek. “I had a feeling at that point that Berry would have been a big ally for me being in the Allman Brothers. I think Berry was starting to dig me as far as playing with me,” relates Dudek. A week later, Oakley died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident. It was eerily similar to and just more than one year after Duane Allman’s fatal motorcycle accident.

“That morning,” Dudek reminisces, “Joe Dan, Dickey and I were out at the farm drinking coffee, getting ready to ride some horses. Dickey got a call from Willie Perkins (the ABB’s road manager) saying that Berry was in an accident and they didn’t know if he was going to live or not. We got in my Cougar and hauled ass to Macon.” Upon arriving, Dickey “said (to hospital personnel) that he was Berry’s brother” so Betts would be allowed to see him. They told him “no, he just passed away.”

The fifty-one-year-old Dudek, who now resides in Florida, admits to only recently purchasing a compact disc player. Included among his initial purchases are some of his earliest influences, The Ventures and The Beatles. “I just dig The Ventures oddly enough. They had some really innovative styles and sounds. They had that wacky surf stuff goin’ on and the fuzztone thing. Obviously, (Jimi) Hendrix was one of my favs. I don’t know too many guitar players that didn’t like Hendrix.” Dudek laughs, “I dug him more for his blues and R&B roots, before he was introduced to Marshall amplifiers.” Dudek’s musical library also includes numerous albums by The Fab Four. “I just love The Beatles. None of my stuff sounds like ‘em, but I just love their harmonies and tunes.”

Dudek can be reached at, and his two most recent releases are available from his website, www.lesdudek.com .

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

  • Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
