Bud Wadsworthborn dennis eugene pash in tiffin ohio, i was quickly givin the name "buddy" by my grandpa hoerig. i was also known throughout my family as "moose" and, am stilled called that today. my real father was in the air force and liked to drink. don't know much more. i was raised in tiffin by my mom untill she married my dad gary wadsworth when i was still a little tike. he later adopted me and, my name was changed to gary wadsworth. i wasn't buddy anymore i became bud. well years passed and my parents split when i was 10. this was the first big change in my life.i started to smoke my mom's cigarettes, had my first drink of wine and, my first "reefer" in boy scout camp. i was always an artist from day one. i would draw action heros in second grade, also was my first book series, which was co-wrote with ben theisen. this continued for many years and, i still have much of my work. some missing pieces, but just enough. my adopted family has always loved me well and, supported me in my decision to move to indianapolis with my mom in 94. i have always had a thing for music but this was when i started to get more interested. doing poorly in school because of depression, use of some drugs my mom had no other choice but to let me move back to greensprings with my dad ,and 2 sisters. well school wasn't going much better ,and i spent most of 9th and 10th grade in my room stoned, talking on the phone or sneaking out at night to cause trouble. art was almost all out of my life except for the drawings of teenage angst on my notebooks. always showing an outgoing and charismatic picture of myself to others i was all twisted up inside ready to explode. i needed some kind of release, and drugs weren't the answer. although addiction has frequently been present in my life i been able to contol the fine line between whats real. i wasn't heavy into anything yet,yet had been dabbling. my mom got remarried and i got even more great family. i love my step family. 2 sisters and, a brother. christmas, 1 month and 11 days before my 16th b-day my grandma saved my life by giving me a guitar. everybody was laughing at me playing with this little guitar thinkin "he'll be done with it in a week". wow were they wrong! i learned how to tune it the next day and, was plucking out nursery rhymes in a week. week 2 produced a nirvana unplugged book(my favorite band at the time). that was it. the avalability of tablature fuel my passion for music more than ever. 18 was here in no time. i started dating wendy at this time, i was recording rhythm tracks to practice my lead guitar over, also writing songs along the way. i was so caught up in sublime, singing songs for friends making good times at parties. i got the idea from sublime to go to recording school to record my own tunes. i rounded up a couple of friends/musicians named matt frasier and eric koth . eric and, i had been life long friends. so, we packed our bags and, with 300 dollars, a quarter pound of weed and, much ambition we were off for chillicothe ohio. recording school went by fast and, we were back home partying. back at the old job at the car dealership my recording skills had got better and, i started to invest money into different instuments to record songs by myself. mainly because of the unreliability of others around me. drugs, music, and wendy was about all that was going on. moving from fostoria to my car at 21. although i was living out of my car i found places to crash. i spent alot of time with my family and, friends. kind of a rebonding with a group i had all but forgotton. j.r. had always been a one of my best friends but, this time was a new chapter, a brother most of all was found in him. he has been much inspiration for my music and, the one to tell me to keep on going. i spent a year in this haze. also known as fear and loathing in green springs.(story coming soon) this is where the song homeless in ohio originates. well, finally i moved in with wendy in the big town of tiffin. in about 2 month i had saved enough money by livin nowhere i bought the studio i still use to this day. i opened the box and, had my first song recorded and mixed down in 4 hours. the song that had been born was coffee and cigarettes. within three weeks the first album smoking dinosaur was released to everybodys excitement and, amazement. a year went by and, i released my 2nd consecutive album titled worse than the first, probably my most loved cd to date. the next year ther was not much creativity flowing and, i released my 3rd consecutive cd junk which was just a collection of pre-recording workshop 4-track recordings and, other misc "junk" hence the name. i moved up to bowling green with wendy so she could get her masters. i lived there for one year. i hadn't had a solid new album in over two years but, had been working relentlessly to get one finished in time so i could have 4 consecutive albums. 1 month after i moved in with my dad in 2006 in a hold over till i made it up to cleveland, where i am now, i finished my 4th album. 17 track and, best yet multiple personalities. soon i was up in cleveland. after 8 years and, 1 week wendy and, i got married. man how my life had changed. i was kinda feeling a little lost without the constant interaction of my friends but, plenty of time for music. after a year and a half in cleveland we are at right now. in december i released my 5th consecutive album titled violent shades of gray. titled mainly because of the meloncoly feelings i've had and, the violent thunderstorms i see coming off of the lake. over the last year i have really gotton to know my cousin mike hoke very well. he is a very talented musician. together we will make this next year the best ever.peace and lovebud wadsworththanks for making it this far. i want to give special thanks to a few people that i couldn't explain their importance in my life.wendy, mom, dad, candy, chrissy, rick, beth, jovann, grandma pixie, dr j., j.r. ,gabe.most of all my grandpa hoerig whom if not for him there would be no bud.
