I designed some stickers for The Budrows recently and ordered me up a thousand of ‘em. I just got ‘em yesterday and they look great. We will have these at our upcoming shows so you can stick ‘em where the sun don’t…….stick ‘em wherever you want.
Big thanks to Kevin at Social Imprints up in San Francisco, look ‘em up for all your printing needs.
100% foot stompin' cigar box rock n' roll
I once did a 16 hour stretch of driving in one day, it was weird when I stopped to sleep, kind of like when you get off a boat and step on dry land and you are kind of wobbly…it felt like that. I just went up to Petaluma to see some bands and friends on Saturday night. I drove 8 hours up, was there for a total of 14 hours (including sleep) and drove 8 hours back…long day, but well worth it. The Phoenix theater brought back a lot of good memories and it was great to see all the people, kind of like a reunion of a music scene of a certain era. Good times with Cropduster, Jesse and the ceiling at Volpi’s Bar.
I just sent this guitar up to Nor-Cal to be part of a Benefit Concert for breast cancer. The event is called Music Heals Nichole and this custom cigar box guitar will be auctioned off along with a lot of other great stuff to help pay some medical bills for a good buddy’s wife. The show is tomorrow night at the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma and there are five great bands playing…my favorite of which is Cropduster…hmmm, I thought those guys retired?
So I’ve been gettin’ into these Blues Players lately, I really love R.L Burnside his stuff is awesome. I found this other guy named Cedel Davis, look this dude up if you wanna hear some raw, authentic blues. Cedel has Cerebral Palsy or MS or something like that and does not have full use of his hands and is confined to a wheel chair…whoa. Yeah, he still plays the blues. He has to hold his guitar across his lap, backwards, and he frets the notes using a butter knife…seriously.
This series of paintings I did are available as a set of prints on Etsy, check em out HERE AT THIS LINK…JUST CLICK.
These are the 3 home-made cigar box guitars that i use for all of The Budrows shows. The one on the left is a One-Stringer…it’s a serious noise maker with the right equipment hooked up to it. Check out the foot stomper that we play using the one-string. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO SATISFACTION
Check out my friends new bike build, coming along nice…I think he said it’s from an old Kawasaki or something. It’s gonna look great when it’s finished, plus I can probe him with questions and avoid any of the common mistakes or roadblocks that he may have encountered, when I go to build my own someday.
We just played at The Dawg House in Hacienda Height recently and we decided to try out an old song of ours with a new twist, we added the flute. Yeah, Jesse our harmonica player also plays the flute…who knew. Check it out, it’s a slow back porch blues song with a spacey sounding flute…wait for it…blast off.
