About Me
If Paul Simon swallowed John Mellencamp and an acoustic guitar and then had a love child with Joan Osborne, it would be Bud Buckley. This Canadian American Records singer/songwriter goes deep to sooth you and revive you. Listen to Bud Buckley on iTunes and you’ll feel welcomed.
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 or without a variety of electronic backing devices. He’s as comfortable in the coffee house as he is at big festivals. He has placed his original songs in indie films and was a semi-finalist in the Philadelphia Songwriters Competition. 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.
Bud teaches guitar lessons to all ages. Click HERE and ask him about it.
