EPISODE 08 | Budiman
HOMETOWN HUSTLE recorded at the legendary Better Than Fred's in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, this podcast/conversation series continues with my dear friend & wonderful human being, purveyor of Folk & Reggae, the OG, the Rastaprairian himself, Budiman!
EPISODE 08 - Budi and I go way back, first meeting in the mid-2000s and playing out lots during the heyday of the GP and area music scene. Our paths crossed as musicians a handful of times, but we were always in other bands and busy with our own thing. We collaborated on the 2005/6 single “Peace Starts At Home” with Justin Staffen, and recorded a bit before I moved to Boston. Our musical friendship culminated last year with the recording & release of “Love In Bali”; In this episode, we talk lots about our background, growing up a world away, musical journeys, arriving in GP and trying to make it happen. He is a fascinating person and has an amazing story, and I’m glad that you get to listen in!
Many Thanks to John Kriska and Better Than Fred’s! I had to film solo on this one, hence the single angle. Many Thanks to Darren Bennett of Rare Island Media for putting the video together.
ALSO - The Theme has to be…what else…Love In Bali!
