[And] Spread across the circle There lurked a handsome shadow [And] though we knew he was the devil We called him Buddy Black. Buddy Black is a singer/songwriter, hard drinking pagan wizard, self-proclaimed prophet, and redundancy advocate based out of Toronto, Canada. His tunes weave a frenetic mesh of county/folk rhythms with roots-punk intensity and coupled with his hyper-literate lyrics, and manic delivery - Buddy puts on a show that has been called everything from utterly spectacular to downright invasive. With over 18 years of song writing experience, with four records, several films and and musical under his belt, Buddy is well on his way to establishing himself as a formidable, and important songwriter. Quotes: "Black deals in mutant psychobilly powered by pre-grunge guitars and swampy drums, a sound simultaneously melodic and menacing." - CashBox Canada, March 2013. "Toronto’s Buddy Black is an angry folk-inspired hero in the making." - Canadian Musician, Sept/Oct 2012
