Bud Summers

I listen to music of all kinds, but I am an absolute sucker for a storyteller. Nils Lofgren, Bruce Springsteen, the brothers Davies (Ray and Dave) - if the artist can tell me a good story with a guitar, I'll sit for the entire set and still want more, when it's over.

Bud Summers is just such a storyteller.

Whether it's a comedy of errors told through a blues song, a character sketch of a woman at the other end of the bar, or a moment of introspection of a person recounting experiences and figuring out where to go next - Bud Summers delivers wisdom, combined with powerful guitar licks.



Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Bud Summers has those southern blues-rock chops that come through in every song, and one can't help but envisioning him playing at a darkened bar, or a midnight outing with dancing in hot weather and 100% humidity. (In other words, I hope he comes over the river to New Orleans, so I can catch him live). His songs combine blues with rock and smooth jazz, with more than a smattering of folk to make for an all-around great listening experience.

I highly encourage you to check out Bud Summers' music over on SoundCloud and ReverbNation, and pick up a few of his albums. If you want to follow Bud Summers to catch the latest news on his music and where he's playing next, you can catch him on Twitter and Facebook.
