Buddy Do-Wrong & the Ne’er-Do-Wells is an outlaw country style acoustic trio (and sometimes quartet!) of friends who are more like family.
The band was started by Buddy Do-Wrong (Andrew Goodman, Guitar/Vocals) and Janglefoot (Dani Rad, Percussion/Vocals) during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown in order to find socially distanced ways to make music together. As venues began rewelcoming customers for outdoor seating, the duo launched a tour of local beer gardens where they found a receptive audience, hungry and grateful for live music.
Playing acoustic versions of the original songs that they had brought to life in their previous band, they started adding covers of their favorite songs from all genres and decades. Soon the duo realized that to really do justice to the music, they would need to add another sound — in the form of a cello! Enter long time friend of the duo: Bowcephus! (Maia Hollander-Leisti, Cello/Vocals)
With this addition, they were able to realize their goal of covering songs like “Honey You” by The Dead South and “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin. Maia and Dani had been singing car duets together throughout their friendship, and were so happy to finally bring their instrumental and vocal talents together in a band.
Recently, they were joined by talented Banjo player Bo-Pickins (Tony Pierce, Banjo/Vocals), whose dulcet voice and lightning pickin’ added new depths of harmony and some killer bluegrass to the band’s sound.
In so many ways, this band is a dream come true for all members, and we are so glad to be able to share our love of music with audiences everywhere!
