The Blues Buddha Band’s Goal is to “ENTERTAIN” and interact with the audience. We want the audience to have fun and hang till the end. We bring the best quality Musicians, All seasoned Pros. Don’t be fooled by the blues tag – we funk it up, we rock it up and we are loaded with Soul doing a mixture of original tunes, standard hits (Elvis, James Brown, Joe Cocker, CCR, Beatles etc) and remakes of Blues classics. We will lift your spirits and Rock Your Rooster.

The Buddha is Back! To know The Buddha is to love his unique, infectious havin’-a-good-time style. If you’ve never seen these guys, you’re missing out on one of the most fun and exciting Blues acts in the Tri-State area. Come see Tommy dance with the crowd and get the whole place in a groove.

“…Recording, production and mixing are excellent… very professional
musicians who do splendid work. [Tommy's] voice sounds powerful,
convincing and [he] sings with great feeling. I am sure the band
[receives] great feedback [from] the audience… Finally, the band sounds
tight and teamed. Great stuff!!”
