Pugsley Buzzard, once again on tour from Australia, returns to the Bird & Beckett stage for the second year running.  He’s a consummate artist, serving up a potent brew of Harlem stride, barrelhouse blues and original compositions in hundreds of shows every year, from the jazz cellars of Berlin to salons in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter and all along a circuit that takes him the length and breadth of Austraila many times a year.

A master of early stride and boogie woogie styles, a dark & dangerous songwriter– Pugsley wails with a massive & mesmerizing vocal growl known to make the ladies sigh and grown men cry.  Think of a fireplug Tom Waits channeling James P. Johnson and Willie “The Lion” Smith, then come and hear the real thing.

Can’t wait?  You can pick up his cds “Wooden Kimono” and “Chicago Typewriter” at Bird & Beckett. Visit his site by clicking here, to get the full Pugsley story, listen to some of his music and view some video.  Click on that “Sonicbids” link to get right to some great audio from the cds.
