This dream has been a long time in the making!! I (Buster) have been singing since I was 16, getting my start at Hoots Pub in Amarillo on amateur night singing 'You look So Good in Love' and 'The Cowboy Rides Away' with singer/songwriter James Davis playing the guitar. From there I started performing at the Big Texan Steak Ranch Opry. I was just a solo act for the longest time until my long time high school friend Justin Mays came back to Amarillo after being gone with the Navy for 5 years. Justin had been stationed out of Virgina Beach, Virgina and had a successful solo career writing songs and playing Acoustic Rock. Upon his return to the Texas Panhandle, he began teaching me to play the guitar and we discussed trying to get a band together. he has now being deployed to Iraq and we miss him greatly! As for our drummer Doug Ecker, I have known Doug since highschool. We hung out sporatically and became great friends. Doug joined the Army National Guard, and has returned to A-Town! Doug has played with a couple of garage bands and is doing awesome! Geoffery McCaslin is from Canyon, among other places and has a blues and rock background. He has played in a couple of bands and has also done studio work. He has added a whole new dimension to the band! These guys make up the original Buster Bledsoe Band!! I can't thank these guys enough! Without them, this dream of mine would have never happend! I will forever be indebted to them. THANKS GUYS! Also, thanks to all the wives, children, families, and friends who have helped us out along the way! We couldn't have done it without any of you! And a special thanks to my wife/photographer Misty for taking all the new pics for us and also to Jennifer Wells, she is the one responsible for the awesome backgrounds and layouts on this page! Can't wait to see y'all at the shows!
