Buddy Greene
Born and bred in Macon, GA, Buddy Greene has been performing for audiences since the tender age of ten. However, his first big break came when, as a young man, he landed a position in country superstar Jerry Reed’s band. As rhythm guitarist, singer, and harmonicist, Buddy’s 4 year stint with Reed proved to be the ideal apprenticeship that included appearances on countless TV shows and recordings as well as touring extensively throughout the country.
By 1987, Buddy had released his first solo recording of original gospel music followed by a second instrumental release, Praise Harmonica, that further established his reputation on the harmonica. At the same time he began touring the country as a featured performer with gospel greats Bill and Gloria Gaither.
Buddy has performed in every state of the Union, made numerous trips abroad, and released twenty recording projects. In 1991 he won the Gospel Music Association’s Dove award for Best Country Album and has received 9 other Dove award nominations. Through his long association with the Gaithers, he has become a favorite gospel performer, appearing often on the Gaither’s popular Homecoming video series.
Besides the many self-penned songs on his own recordings, Buddy co-wrote (along with Mark Lowry) the modern Christmas classic “Mary, Did You Know?”, recorded by a host of major artists including Carrie Underwood, Kathy Mattea, Kenny Rogers and Wynonna, Natalie Cole, Dolly Parton, Cee Lo Green, Rascal Flatts, Mary J Blige, and Pentatonix. Other songs of Buddy’s covered by major artists include “Recovering Pharisee” by Del McCoury, “Fall Down, Children” by The Whites, and “He Is”, a number one for gospel artist Ashley Cleveland.
Buddy’s renowned harmonica playing has been featured on the recordings of many outstanding artists, including Carrie Underwood, David Crowder, Jerry Reed, the Gaithers, Riders in the Sky, Charlie Peacock, Bela Fleck, The O'Jays, Sara Groves, Keith and Kristyn Getty, Sandi Patty, and Larnelle Harris, to name just a few. His performance of the “William Tell Overture” at Carnegie Hall, captured live on a Bill Gaither Homecoming video and subsequently posted on YouTube, has been viewed by millions.
