Bluegrass veteran BUDDY WOODWARD was a founding member of seminal 90's alt.country whiz kids The Ghost Rockets, and NYC honkytonkers Buddy Woodward & The Nitro Express, was a featured performer on Greg Garing's Alphabet City Opry, as well as having played with

He also moonlights as a voice-over actor for cartoons, including Pokemon, Boogie Pop Phantom, and The Ping Pong Club. A gifted songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Buddy plays mandolin, guitars, banjo, bass, and (*gasp!*) drums.
