Les Dudek Net Worth

Les Dudek is an American guitarist with a net worth of $750 thousand dollars. He has played with some of rock and pop’s biggest names, including Stevie Nicks, Steve Miller, Dave Mason, Cher, Boz Scaggs, and the Allman Brothers Band, among others.

Dudek was born on August 2, 1952 in Naval Air Station, Quonset Point, Rhode Island. He was first inspired by the likes of the Beatles and Elvis Presley, and picked up a guitar at the age of 11. By his teenage years, he was already sneaking into bars to play with bands.

During his early years, Dudek discovered blues masters like Freddie, Albert, and B.B. King, as well as blues rockers like Paul Butterfield and Steve Miller. In the early ’70s, Dudek was residing in Florida and playing in the obscure group Power. He struck up a friendship with Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band, and the duo cut some demos, but the group was disbanded when work on the Allman’s classic Brothers and Sisters album got underway.

Dudek also played with Cher briefly in the early ’80s when Cher attempted to launch a rock-based band called Cher & Black Rose, which failed to get off the ground. Thanks to Cher, Dudek then landed a bit part in 1985’s Mask as a boyfriend of Cher’s character. Dudek then guest-starred on Stevie Nicks’ 1985 release Rock a Little and was the guitarist on the album’s tour. The ’90s saw Dudek return to his blues roots and he appeared on Steve Miller’s back-to-basics release, 1993’s Wide River, and issued his fifth solo release overall, 1994’s Deeper Shade of Blues.
