Inspired raucous acoustic guitar jams and harmonies


Bud and Budd at Breakwater Cafe - Burlington, VT
The Kind Buds entertain their audiences with a number of inspiring covers & incendiary originals,
trading fiery-sweet licks on a roller coaster of tension & release which is always a pleasurable ride.
The Buds get the very most out of their acoustic guitars, offering wide-open jams and stunning guitar interplay
from their twin-Taylor attack. The duo deliver tight vocal harmonies with sweet, smooth, clean notes
that compliment and complete their polished sound.

The Kind Buds have released two CDs, “Hangin’ at The Lazy J” featuring their own original music and lyrics, and
“Live at the Underground,” Bud and Budd’s first CD covering Garcia/Hunter, Beatles, Motown, and a variety of traditional songs.
The Buds continue to focus on writing new music and have created enough new songs to begin work on another CD of originals.

Troy said of The Kind Buds, “I’ve seen hundreds of Dead cover
bands, but these guys are the real deal, playing the sweet
acoustic harmonies reminiscent of Garcia’s early recordings.
They are one of the best I’ve seen.”

at several festivals and music venues throughout New England over the past three years.
Bud and Budd perform with a Bose sound system and require very little space for set up and play.

NECTAR'S in Burlington, VT every Saturday evening for
