Last week of July 2010

July 26th, 2010

Greetings one and all- I’ve been away in case you haven’t noticed. I returned from the big Michigan road trip just in time to play seven shows in nine days. They included a return trip to the grocery store (Schnuck’s in downtown STL) a Street Market in Jerseyville, a return to Sevens in Belleville, my regular monthly shows at Houlihan’s in Fairview and in Soulard at The Shanti and an(almost) class reunion at The Piasa Winery in Grafton capped off by my 4th trip to play at a Southern Illinois Winery in the Carbondale area this season.

I’ll be closing out the month with just a couple of shows this week- the street market in J’ville is pretty good- I just sit back and play a few tunes, talk to people who came by and sell a few CDs. Last week I ended up coming home with some very nice tomatoes, peaches and blackberries.

Tuesday July 27
Street Market
Jerseyville, IL 4-7 pm

Saturday July 31

Salut-
This week’s entertainment is coming your way at a fast and furious pace. I’ll regale you with the details momentarily.

In the meantime, I had a great night at Norb Andy’s in Springfield and will be back in August. Saturday’s appearance at The Loading Dock was canceled -as was the Tow Boat Festival- due to high water. Sunday was extremely hot on the veranda at Starview Vineyards but was a good time nonetheless and I’ll be back there in the future as well.

A few notes about this week’s shows- Tuesday is a very loose show with 7 performers scheduled for short sets of original music at the Library in Soulard. This building is a former public library at 7th and Lafayette. They do this every Tuesday.

Saturday afternoon is a combination party and open house. All are invited to attend for food, drinks, live entertainment and to get a look at Bill Horstman’s shop. They do custom doors, windows, countertops etc, and moved to their new location just a few months ago. Bill is also celebrating his 50th birthday this week.

This week’s ringtone is Comin’ Home a nice tune from Golden. As usual, the ringtone is $2.49 and the download is $0.51 what a deal!

The details…..

Hiya-

I hope your summer is off to a good start as is mine. The final touches have been put on the “2010 Northern Playcation”. Show schedule- *July 1st-Chicago *2nd-Saugatuck, MI, *3rd and 4th-Muskegon, MI *6th-Grand Haven, MI *9th Ludington, MI *10th Saginaw, MI and *14th- just outside of Grand Rapids in Rockford, MI. The other days will be R & R along the Lake Michigan Shoreline with family and friends.

I’ve got two trips this week that would make nice overnighters – Thursday at the venerable Norb Andy’s Tabarin in Springfield, IL and Sunday at Starview Vineyards in Cobden, IL (near Carbondale)

In each life a little rain must fall- due to the high water in Grafton, I will NOT be at the Loading Dock Saturday afternoon as scheduled. The annual Tow Boat Festival has been canceled. Dry your eyes. There’s enough water up there.

I will, however, be popping in to play a short set at The Shanti Saturday afternoon for the annual breast cancer benefit. It’s run by Ed Belling and his group Pick’n Lick’n. Ed was in the band “Griffin” years ago. I believe he was Paul Light’s replacement. Stop by for music all day for a good cause.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there.

This week’s ringtone is the 2nd most requested tune from Golden- dedicated to all those fine folks out there beating their feet on the streets everyday trying to get your bills to you. Mail Man is yours for a pittance – ringtone $2.49/download $0.51

This week

This week’s ringtone/download combo is I Would a jazzy little number from “Golden” and can be had, as usual, for merely $3

May 29th & 30th 2010

May 26th, 2010

Hello and welcome to summer at last! Please have fun, be safe, and don’t forget to memorize something for Memorial Day.

Big doin’s this week! I’m playing in Aviston and Grafton to ring in the summer. If you can’t make it to either, I hope you get a chance to hear live music somewhere.

Upcoming events for June include an all-original music show at The Map Room in St Louis’ Benton Park neighborhood on Thursday June 3rd from 7-10 pm and my first ever appearance at Aeries Winery in Grafton on Saturday June 5th at 3 pm.

This week’s new ringtone is from Golden and has proven to be a really good live tune even if the recorded version didn’t do so well. I play it often in my solo act and it was a lot of fun performing it with the Floyd Duncan Orchestra. It has a blues/jazz/rock sound and an adulterous story and that certainly makes for a good ringtone- Desperate Times and as usual- I can’t control the ringtone price ($2.49) but I can set the download price to a negligible $0.51 so you can get the ringtone on your phone and put the song on your mp3 player for just $3.00 !!!! Woo hoo! I ought to be arrested for aiding and abetting theft.

Live shows this week-

Saturday May 29th
Hidden Lake Winery
Aviston, IL 7 pm

Sunday May 30th
The Loading Dock
Grafton, IL 1 pm

Have a good week,
Bud

May 22nd 2010

Greetings mirthlings- tons of big news on the horizon. My “Summer Northern Tour” is nearly finalized, there are more Southern Illinois winery weekends upcoming, I’ll soon be playing Springfield, IL again and album III is under construction. Almost hard to believe that it’s only May.

In each life a little rain must fall but this is getting ridiculous. My much ballyhooed return to the Rotten Apple this past Sunday was cancelled due to the pouring rain, rising river, and general lack of visitors to the Grafton area.

Mark your calendars for Sunday May 30th (Sunday before Memorial Day) and join me at The Loading Dock in Grafton from 1-5. Other notable dates down the road are Thursday June 17th at Norb Andy’s in downtown Springfield, IL and Thursday July 1st at Goose Island Brew Pub one block south of Wrigley Field in Chicago.

This week’s ringtone is One More and as usual the download is also featured for …
an astoundingly minuscule $0.51

This tune wasn’t suggested by anyone but according to Reverbnation Stats it’s the 2nd most popular song on Eons. The current #1 is Soulard Lady. It’s already a ringtone and I have it on my phone. Pretty cool, huh? For a mere $2.49 I couldn’t go wrong.

You can visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/budsummers any time. My website won’t get jealous.

This week I’ll be resonating in your ears but once and so without further ado….

Saturday May 22nd
Main Street Coffee House
Independence, MO 7 pm

Have a great week and I hope to see you again soon,
Bud

May 15th and 16th

Joy to all and I sincerely hope that it was a nice Mother’s Day for all of you mothers out there. I had a fine weekend with the regular crowd shuffling in at the Shanti on Thursday- Steve Reeb sat in for a couple of tunes, Billy Belli stopped to chat, Lenny was in fine form behind the bar, Becky was celebrating her birthday on the other side of the bar… you get the picture. Saturday was a beautiful day at Owl Creek Vineyards in Cobden, IL just outside of Carbondale and included a Chuck siting.

I’ve added some dates for later in the summer – beachfront- Lake Michigan, another Chicago trip, a couple more southern Illinois wine trail dates, a quick run out to Independence, MO and a return to The Rotten Apple in Grafton. Please check Bud’s Site for details.

Ringtone for this week comes from a suggestion by Lance and is track #4 from Eons Summer Sunset be sure to add this to your ever-growing list of ringtones from Bud.

This week’s endeavors:

Monday May 10
