Tommy Malone and former Evangeline singer-accordion/keyboard-player Beth McKee will be joining forces for a show in Orlando in September.

The rare non-subdudes gig for Malone will be Sept. 12 at the Plaza Theatre in Orlando and will feature him and McKee with a backing back consisting of McKee's drummer-percussionist husband Juan Perez and bassist Gery Wilhelm. They're calling themselves Pan Fried. It'll surely be a night to remember, a mixture of rock, blues, soul, gospel and country music.

McKee, a Mississippi native and former New Orleanian, moved to Orlando after Evangeline broke up. She, Malone and Perez have been collaborating on some new songs, and they will be previewing some of the new material at the show.

Earlier this year, McKee released "I'm That Way, an album featuring her intrepretations of legendary songwriter Bobby Charles' material. Charles wrote some of Fats Domino's hits, later collaborated with The Band, and influenced scores of songwriters.

"If it turns out OK and fun and successful, we might do some more," Malone says. The show is slated to start at 8 p.m. Tickets are available from the venue or by calling 407-228-1220

Longtime subdudes fans may recall that back in the early '90s, the subdudes and Evangeline were featured on the Festival New Orleans tour that Jazz Fest impresario Quint Davis organized to share the Jazz Fest experience with the rest of the country.

That tour also included Buckwheat Zydeco, Beausoleil, The Radiators, The Olympia Brass Band and the Zion Harmonizers. McKee would often sit in with the subdudes on the tour, and she later contributed harmony vocals to the Primitive Streak CD.
