About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Bud's Collective is a cutting edge group of talented musicians from the hills of West Virginia. While their music reflects roots firmly planted in Bluegrass tradition, they do not hesitate to add to it in ways all their own. Playing a tasteful mix of front man Buddy Dunlap's original material and popular hits ranging from Stevie Wonder to Alabama and all points in between, Bud's Collective is a reliable choice if you want a successful, lively party. These guys have been playing music together informally for over a decade. Their music speaks of the years spent adapting and blending with one another's styles, creating the sound of unity and professionalism, guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. The band is made up of Buddy Dunlap - a born entertainer - on guitar, lead vocals, and harmony vocals , Cody Brown on bass, lead vocals, and harmony vocals, and Taylor Baker on mandolin, lead vocals, and harmony vocals. Each individual member is award winning and together they brought in 2nd place in Nashville at SPGMA in 2014, and were the 2013 DC Bluegrass Union Band of the Year. Bud's Collective welcomes and encourages requests from any genre. Whats more is that they realize the musical performance is only part of the job when invited to play at your special event. The way they see it is that keeping things running seamlessly and without hassle is a must for any hired entertainer. They make sure you can relax and enjoy your party! “I hired Bud's Collective for our festival and I can honestly say that they are now one of my favorite bands out there. Not only are their songs well chosen, their harmonies tight, and their solos blazing hot, but they also were just wonderful to work with all day. They arrived early, asked if they could help out in any way, did a fantastic job teaching some workshops and were so nice and worked so well at talking with fans that I think everyone that saw them or met them left there as a die-hard fan.” – Tara Lindhart, Loudoun Bluegrass Festival "Thank you so much for traveling all the way to Michigan and making our wedding a huge success! You guys are amazingly talented and created the perfect atmosphere. " -Bride and Groom 2014 “As a bluegrass promoter for over forty years, I often wonder about the future of our wonderful music. After experiencing Bud's Collective several times, I am assured that it is in good hands. Young, talented, great material and very entertaining. I did not hesitate to book them for our Berryville Bluegrass Series.” - Frank Jurney, Promoter

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on September 30, 2016From Leesburg, VA

Bud's Collective are a group of seasoned, professional, and talented blue-grass musicians. I was able to give them some special requests for my wedding ceremony, which they played wonderfully - with their own style. Once they arrived at the venue I thanked them for coming, made sure they had everything they needed, and they were a well-oiled machine from then on. For any one looking for some down-home, acoustic music for their wedding ceremony (or anything else) I would highly recommend Bud's Collective. Don't believe me? Check out their soundcloud page or a handful of videos on youtube. Just a quick FYI - they respond better to text/phone calls than email.

Community EventReviewed on January 31, 2016From Mc Connellsburg, PA

Snowstorm Jonas forced us to push back our Bluegrass and BBQ event one week. Fortunately, the venue, caterer and the band were all available. Bud's Collective from the get-go was easy to work, accommodating and professional. And they are a very talented group of musicians. Every time I reached out to Buddy, he quickly put to rest any concerns that I had - i.e. stage, sound, interview, etc. No special treatment on their end was required. They are very nice folks and we had lots of compliments from our crowd of approximately 190 about their music and friendliness.
