Trio performs exceptional music on guitar, fiddle, mandolin and accordion.
Newfoundland’s Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers return to the Algonquin Theatre stage on May 3, bringing with them their unique brand of East Coast humour.
Presented by the Huntsville Festival of the Arts, Buddy and crew last performed here in May 2006 to a sold-out crowd.
Back by popular demand, the trio – comprised of Kevin Blackmore (Buddy Wasisname), Wayne Chaulk and Ray Johnson (the Other Fellers) – perform on the guitar, fiddle, mandolin and accordion (plus any number of improvised percussion instruments such as Tupperware lids and garbage bags), and are guaranteed to provide an evening of laughs like no other.
Laughter is expected in Huntsville on May 3, when Buddy Wasisname and crew hit the stage.
All three musicians are Newfoundlanders, and their musical style strongly reflects this fact. The group specializes in Newfoundland and folk music, as well as performing comedic skits, comic songs, recitations, monologues and standup routines. Their material is born out of their rich and varied culture of Newfoundland and inspired by the character of that place, past and present.
The group was formed in Newfoundland, Canada in the early 1980s. Two of the three members were school teachers prior to forming the group. Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers have been a prolific act for over 20 years, producing a total of 16 albums. They still maintain an active touring schedule throughout the Atlantic provinces and other select Canadian cities.
Tickets for Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers are $30 for adults and $15 for youth under 18, plus GST and are available at the Algonquin Theatre box office on Main Street, by calling 789-4975, or online at www.huntsvillefestival.on. ca.
