Buster Brown and The Get Down

About Me

The vibe will amaze you—complete with guitar riffs and drum beats to bob your head, lyrical rants and storytelling to make you laugh - not to mention world-class tap dancing (yes, tap dancing!). If you enjoy a mix of musical styles then be prepared to fall in love as Buster and his band explore funk, rock, old school hip-hop, acoustic, jam band, reggae, and jazz. It's the perfect soundtrack for a road trip, daily commute, or to break the ice at your next party. It's the kind of sound that delivers instant classics and beckons the question “Why haven't I heard of these guys?”
