Rocker Buddy Red pushes boundaries on the Bad News EP

Buddy Red. // image courtesy the artist Buddy Red has a Bad News EP release show at the Boone Theater on Friday, November 21, with openers The Phantastics, Noah Francis, and Jolsen and The Fear of Snakes. Details and tickets for that show here. When we attended the Folk Alliance International conference in New Orleans back in January, one of the artists who caught our attention was Atlanta blues rocker Buddy Red. New to the scene, and with only a handful of singles to his name, we had no idea what to expect other than the fact that Red had come highly recommended from someone we knew, who said he “oozes with charisma and swagger and an amazing guitarist too,” and damn if she wasn’t 100% on target with her statement. Seeing Red on stage in the hotel’s ballroom felt like catching Lenny Kravitz when he was on the come up, just a young and hungry musician out there to show off what he can do with his voice and guitar.
