BUDDY DAVIS  has played and recorded with a virtual who’s who of well known musicians, including Doc & Merle Watson, Sam Bush, Jethro Burns (of Homer and Jethro), David Holt, Marc Pruett, Roy Clark, Jan Howard (of the Grand Ole Opry), Chubby Wise (Great Fiddler), . . .the list could go on and on.

Buddy currently fronts his own band, operating with a four-piece nucleus with Buddy on vocals and guitar;  Jeff Robbins on bass,  John Humphries on lead electric and acoustic guitar and mandolin, and Michael Baker on percussion.  The band is extremely versatile, having the ability to play many styles of music from Americana, Traditional, Classic Country, Standards, Folk, and, with the addition of a Bluegrass banjo player and fiddler (we are networked with several great ones!) the band is capable of playing Bluegrass that will “burn the barn down.”

Another aspect of Buddy’s music is his ability to provide music on the classical guitar, partnered with any combination of instruments you wish for weddings (with the band available for the reception.)

The Buddy Davis Band brings state of the art audio equipment whenever they perform, suitable for any size event or venue.  The band is committed to making music that is pleasing to the ear.  Being too loud is NOT an option.
