Dukes Of Hubbard

The Dukes of Hubbard rocked your grandmas knickers off in Duluth MN circa 1999-2005. Former members have branched out to perform with many current acts including Trampled by Turtles, The Fractals, Actual Wolf, No Wait Wait, Retribution Gospel Choir, Clockwork Jazz, Maxi Childs Trio and more. Former lead singer Ben Wizik plays Ultimate frisbee and worships his personal SAVIOR Jesus Christ. Who's motto is "Love me OR BURN!!!". ...actually Ben just plays frisbee. Known for all sorts of musical mayhem the Dukes of Hubbard played their own original jam/alt country music along with covering bands like Ween, The Band, Phish, Hendrix, The Beatles and other random musical nonsense like Kungfu Fighting, Mikey and Beat It. Set lists were rarely used. Spontaneous vocal jams and sonic explorations hither to the unknown were common place. Mixed in with sarcastic/silly stage banter and probably a lot of partying! Often times Ben's dog Trudy would hang out in the bar with patrons. In short, GREAT TIMES were had. LOUD TIMES were had. They tore it up at places like Luce, Norms, Schooners Park Inn, The Tap Room, Madeline Island, The Nor Shore etc. Many crazy memories come up. This page has been created for friends of The Dukes to share their memories and petition the band to regroup and perform again some time!
