Dudley was(/is?) a Santa Barbara-based art-folk-pop entity, built around the hard-to-define, easy-to-love music of singer-songwriter Ellen Turner. For the last few years, it was Dudley the Band, and Ellen backed by guitarist Joe Woodard, bassist Chris Symer, and drummer Tom Lackner. They're prone to describe their music as "quirky" and "heartfelt." Dudley has three albums to show for the effort, doin' jack (1998), Are Our Oars Out? (1996), and their debut, Public Nudism (1994).

Public Nudism, a popular song cycle originally released in 1994 on cassette-only and now available on CD, was the debut album by the unique art-pop-folk group from Santa Barbara group known as Dudley. It began as a solo project by singer-songwriter Ellen Turner, and the group—guitarist Joe Woodard, drummer Tom Lackner, and bassist Chris Symer--formed around the recording project.
