Got Da Blues

Buddy Knox first picked up a guitar at just ten years of age. His big ambition was to "play like Chuck Berry". Despite the challenge of practising on an old worn 'Toomelah mission axe', which was minus a string, Buddy's' goal to play persisted with his natural talent flourishing. Music and playing guitar became Buddy's' life, from humble beginnings, his Mum showing him how to play his first three chords, then by teaching himself. His passion for guitar, his own natural gift, and with music an important aspect of his life, Buddy's destiny with the guitar was set. Buddy's fervour for blues has been simmering for most of his guitar years, and finally in 2006, Buddy committed to being an artist and to head up the Buddy Knox Blues Band. His years of guitar playing and singing harmonies was great preparation for him to commit to his big dream of this own Blues Band. Buddy won the Best New Talent Category. In the Australian Blues 'Chain' Awards at Goulburn in February 09, also a finalist for the Best Male Vocal Category. His debut album 'Got da Blues' also gained him finalist selection for Best Producer in conjunction with his recording engineer Gareth Hudson. The Album also won the Newcastle Blues Awards Album of the Year.
