The nine piece band featuring a four piece horn section moves the music forward by engaging a deep respect for the sound, and by writing original Jamaican jazz ,ska, dub reggae, calypso and rocksteady influenced tunes and performing them with tenacity. Their sound is firmly rooted in the golden era of Jamaican music; the 1960's and 1970's. When naming the band, Buddy preferred to call a spade a spade and use the words Jamaican Jazz instead of the usual Ska which is used to describe a whole myriad of styles within the genre these days. He wanted to make sure that people understood that the group was paying respect to the original artists and people who created the music, and that that was something of the utmost importance to the band.Buddy Jay and the band's unique take on the genre of Jamaican jazz have allowed them the opportunity to share the stage with a lot of other great talents. As part of the Soul'd Out Music Festival they shared the stage with the likes of Vieux Farke Toure, Charles Bradley, Mos Def, and many more and have also shared the stage with genre icons like Winston Jarrett, Monty Neysmith, The Skints, Giant Panda Gorilla Dub Squad, and The Gladiators to name a few. They have also been featured as part of The Victoria Ska and Reggae Festival in B.C. Canada.The current lineup features members of The Cascadians ,The Isrealites, Grupo Condente, March Fourth Marching Band, Cloud Six, and more. These heavy hitters always bring the party and never play a room without a dance floor. Stay tuned because Buddy Jay is here to stay!The BandulusThe Bandulus (BAN-DOO-LOOS) are the brainchild of Jeremy Pea, a musician from Austin, Texas. Formerly of Los Skarnales and the Trenchtown Texans, Pea ventured out on his own to create the traditional ska, reggae, and soul sensation that is The Bandulus.The Bandulus have shared the stage with yesterdays and todays top ska and reggae acts, including ska originators The Skatalites, Inner Circle, The Wailers, The Slackers, Easy Star All Stars, The English Beat, The Aggrolites, Collie Budz, The Skints, Save Ferris, New Kingston, The Suffers, Western Standard Time, The Pietasters and Los Lonely Boys.They were also a featured artist at both of the 2019 Victoria Ska and Reggae Festival and 2022 Freedom Sounds Ska festival in Cologne, Germany.Jamaican patois for bandit, The Bandulus will steal your heart and always leave you smiling.
