Celebrate New Year's Eve at the Lincoln Theatre with Bellingham Washington's premier Rockabilly / Western band, Buddy Mac and his Ten-Gallon Troubadours -- led by the "last yodeling cowboy" himself, Buddy Mac.
We'll let Buddy Mac introduce himself:
Hey, I'm Buddy!
I was born and raised in Montana. Originally born in Kalispell, but moved all over the state until landing in Bellingham, WA with my family in 2012.
I have been a performer since I was 9 years old, doing ventriloquism for my church, school and various other events/venues.
It wasn't until the Covid-19 shutdown that I began to discover "Western" music. I instantly fell in love with the Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and others that defined the genre.
I learned to yodel with all the free time I gained by being laid off from work during that time, and began to steep myself in the Western genre.
The patriarchs of my family were large country and bluegrass fans, but I hadn't really paid attention to any of it until this time. My great grandfather's record collection of over 10,000 vinyl records became available to me after his passing, and my passion just continued to grow.
Now I have recently picked back up my passion for throwing my voice and do various vaudeville style ventriloquist routines, while also yodeling and crooning old cowboy standards for whoever can bear to listen.
I look forward to playing for you!
Buddy's Ten-Gallon Troubadours are: Jan Peters on harmonica, Augie Ballew on Lead Guitar, Cole Melcher on lap steel, Jesse Simmers on bass, and Elijah Watson on drums.
