Bud Buckley's soothing vocal blend of classic folk/pop/rock with contemporary acoustic sounds is the very essence of music that would happen if Dylan ever managed to swallow Paul Simon and James Taylor and their guitars. Bud's lyrics are truly original and expressive, sung in a range of styles that is made consistent by giving you the urge to tap your toes, sing along and just have fun. He rocks with both sweet sensitivity and sass.
Bud is a singer/songwriter who also covers hits from the 60's to the present. His smooth vocal range is unique but draws comparisons to Paul Simon, Jakob Dylan, Sting and others. He has the ability and range to provide infectiously hip but mellow dinner music with just his acoustic guitar or more upbeat happy hour tunes with a variety of electronic backing devices. He's as comfortable in the coffee house as he is on the beach. Bud is a former teacher and public relations specialist, a people person who can relate to his customers. His fans range from teens to older seniors.
