What do The Buddahs Play?:
The Blues Buddahs will play anything as long as it has that bluesy passion. But there have been forays in to soul, jazz, and east meets west based indian-blues infusion, similar to stuff done by Butterfield on the album on the left. Below is a list of some of the songs we play live to crowds all over Scotland.
