Raucous acoustic guitar jams and harmonies
Bud and Budd ~ The Kind Buds 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.
Bud & Budd 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 three
CDs,
"All In Your Mind" recorded live in Milford, CT,
“Hangin’ at The Lazy J” featuring their own original music
and lyrics,
“Live at the Underground,” Bud and Budd’s first CD covering
Garcia/Hunter,
Beatles, Motown, and a few traditional songs.

After playing their first gig in California in July 2004, The Kind Buds from Vermont
have returned to play
at several festivals and music venues throughout New England over the past five years.
Bud and Budd perform with a Bose sound system and require very little space
for set up and play.
Bud and Budd played an eight week residency at
NECTAR'S in Burlington, VT every Saturday evening for
acoustic happy hour from 7-9pm in 2006
The Kind Buds play many "Apres Ski" venues at STOWE, SUGARBUSH, and KILLINGTON
Ski Resorts and have performed at special Summer events as well.
