BUD SAMPLE MP3
I'm Bud. My earliest memories are around my Nan's piano, singing for hours at family get-togethers. At the tender age of ten, I was literally plucked from the dance floor onto the stage, I was given a Tamborine and made to sing. What a night, my fate was sealed. I found an old guitar and learnt my first 3 chords. I know a few more now!!
I have a monster PA system I do however, know how to use the volume knob discreetly to suit the occasion. I prefer to use wireless FM microphone and guitar units. No backing tracks. Strange but true. This allows me to slam dance through the crowd and stage dive off pool tables etc. If I had to describe my performance in one word, it would be enthusiastic and enthusiasm is always contagious as my audiences soon find out. Sometimes though, I prefer to just plug-in and use a mic on a stand.
So please, let�s arrange some gigs and let me have my way with your clientele. No body will be disappointed. I will consider any gig anywhere anytime!!
