Bud, of The Kind Buds, creates acoustic guitar overdubs for an act he has named "Kind Dubs” and after 125 solo shows, his mastery of his looper is a skill to be heard and seen.   Bud records his guitar rhythm live on the looper;  he then hits a button which will begin to play the rhythm he recorded.  Bud then plays off that rhythm, taking leads and layering sounds.  A Kind Bud  show will have  a mixture of original tunes, Jerry Garcia, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and other funky tunes.  

For the holidays, Bud has created a 90 minute “Community Carol Sing A-Long” to bring family and friends together to sing during the holidays.  Participants are handed out a Christmas Carol Book, filled with the words to 21 beloved songs so the audience can sing together with Bud.
