Formed in the spring of 2005, Nudie and the Turks took their vision first to the streets, busking anywhere and everywhere which lead to an East Coast Music Awards showcase, no small feat for a three month old band!
After playing the clubs and a 6 month residency at the infamous Elm Avenue Social Club, they decided to follow Willie Nelson's Maritime Tour in 2006, busking for the people going in, then playing a show in each city. The seed of the idea came from them doing the same at a George Jones show, where they met George backstage and had his fiddle player sit in out front. His wise advice was "do what's in your heart and good things will happen to you."
Since then, Nudie and the Turks have crisscrossed the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario numerous times, performing to capacity crowds at theatres, festivals and clubs.
