2016 Bud began his solo career and perfected his skill as a live “looper”. Kind Bud records (dubs) his acoustic guitar live, while performing. He loops the recordings seamlessly back into the mix, building layers and creating rhythms for solo improvisations. A one-man duo, Kind Bud delivers a full show, whether you dance to his music, watch the mastery of his live guitar dubs, or sing along with his soft-strong voice, sweet and true. Bud is a Rex Foundation musician, plays music festivals in the US and Jamaica and also apres skis in Vermont.
