Thomas August Darnell Browder, aka August Darnell--who goes by the stage name Kid Creole--is an American singer, musician and songwriter. He co-founded Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band with his half-brother Stony Browder Jr., then went on to form and lead Kid Creole and the Coconuts. The latter band, with its trio of backing female singers (dubbed the Coconuts), draw upon musical influences as disparate as salsa, no wave, jazz, disco, pop music and big band.
