Budd's musical journey began at a 1989, 8th grade talent show where he belted out the Trogg's classic "Wild Thing", to a fever pitched, pre-teen crowd. From that moment, his love for playing music has only grown and today, Budd is stocked to be a part of Heart n Soul Country Band.
Budd is a singer, songwriter and guitarist with a deep rooted love for finding new ways to make meaning through music. In June of 2023, Budd along with his real-life family, The Bronco Brothers & Sisters released their second "Y'all-ternative" album "Where there is Smoke".
Budd has performed all across Northern Colorado - rocking with "The Ailments" and strumming with a Folk/Americana group, "Dad Band". Influenced by so many legendary songwriters and guitarists, Budd crafts a unique sound that bridges the gap between old-school classics and contemporary Country, Rock and Jazz music.
Outside the limelight, Budd is a family man, sharing life in Fort Collins with his wife and having fun as a proud Girl Dad. His brilliant teenage daughter routinely schools him in skiing, mountain biking, archery, and tennis- providing that reality check rockstars so clearly need! :)
