Buddy Ivory’s Summary

For immediate release:
BALTIMORE, MD — Buddy Ivory is proud to announce the potent, soul-shaking release of the debut CD, Rough Cut. The band expertly lays down grooves that are tastier than an all-you-can-eat buffet. Their songs, a kaleidoscope of rock, country, funk and rhythm and blues, say more with less – they ditch the pitch, and get right down to the sale. The band strongly believes that seriousness has no place in music, and this is evident in their songs. “Music should be fun. We feel that life is far too short to sweat the little things, and the passion of our music reflects the enjoyment and fulfillment we derive from it.”
Fun is the mortar that firmly holds the 9-song Rough Cut together, from the smooth groove of “Shadow Play” to the B-3 flavored funk of “Nothin’ But a Thang.” Accompanying Buddy Ivory are other high caliber musicians Bob Shade and Steve Parezo on drums, Dan Burbine on keyboards, and Spencer Leckliter on bass.
With the pending release of Rough Cut, the band has landed a knockout punch in their battle to recruit fans nationwide. No one is immune to their highly contagious songs, which are skillfully penned and expressively played. Or, as the band would say, “Our music is a cross between traditional R&B, rock and roll, country, and down-home soul. It MUST have a beat, and get you off your seat!”
