30 Years And Still Groovin? Steve Amedée, percussionist for the genre-busting band the subdudes, coaxes some fat sound from his Cosmic tambourine Saturday at the 30th annual Northern Rockies Folk Festival in Hailey. Amedée?s up-front playing is one of the most identifiable aspects of the subdudes? sound. He augments his tambourine with a hand drum, kick drum, snare and cymbal. The band headlined the two-day festival for the second time in four years. Photo by Willy Cook
