About Cuda Brothers
CUDA BROTHERS Original Prog/Jazz/Rock
Cuda Brothers was formed in 2006 by Tony and Chris Cuda. We wanted to integrate all of our great musical influences and combine them with our own unique personalities and see what would happen. Our efforts resulted in 4 CD’s and concert performances with Adrian Belew, Stick Men featuring Tony Levin, Alan Holdsworth, Carl Palmer (ELP Legacy), Project Object (Zappa Alum), Brian Auger, Brand X, Ambrosia, Uriah Heep, Crack The Sky, Nektar, The Levin Bros, Frank Gambale, Jeff Berlin/Mike Clark/Scott Henderson, Tu:Ner and many others. Now, we are focused on new compositions; some with vocals, but still mostly instrumental. Look for new music and live performances in 2025.
