With his previous groups Buff has been blessed to have performed at the major cowboy poetry and music events across the south western United States. "the people that you meet are the most genuine that you will find in this day and age". |
In 2012 Buff was nominated for "Best Instrumentalist of the Year" by the Academy of Western Artists. His original song "Beans" was nominated in both "Best Original Traditional Western Song" and "Best Original Western Swing Song" categories for 2012. Once a rock musician, Buffalo Bryan rejected the rock n’ roll lifestyle to get in touch with his “inner cowboy”. Western music is as much a part of “Buff” as any member of his body. He finds strength and inspiration in the examples set by his cowboy heroes. Roy, Dale, Gene, Hoppy and all the rest have left us a great legacy of values and morals. Buffalo Bryan endeavors to live by their example every day of his life. Buff has been a bass player most of his life. Now he is playing the guitar, writing and singing again. “This is something that I must do. My success or failure depends on me, not others”. “I am driven to it; I play Western music because it is part of who I am as a Christian man”. |
