More information and fun stuff coming soon!

Buddy Logan learned to play drums, beginning at age 9, from big band leader Gary Tolefson, in Spokane, Washington. Less than two years later, Buddy was given the opportunity to play with Gary's 16-piece dance band.

As another two years went by, Buddy formed his own "Dixieland" band with other musicians he had met in junior high school. "We weren't really a Dixieland band. Dixieland was really jazz, and we weren't really capable of that, but we played all of the well-known Dixieland tunes."

Shortly after starting high school, one of the gigs for Buddy's band was at a local variety show, where a rock band was also on the agenda, featuring a Hammond B3 organ and a sax player. "I decided then and there I wanted to play that stuff!"

Buddy met a bass player named Ken Martello, and, together with guitarists Roger Ames and Randy Wilcox formed a band called the "Rustics". The band only lasted a short time, but, fond as he was of swing music, Buddy was hooked on Rock and Roll and went on to play with other groups, including northwest recording artists "The Blue Jeans". Things changed a bit when, in his senior year, he struck out on his own, making a "living" playing country music in a grange-hall trio with songwriter Homer Joy ("Streets of Bakersfield") in a little spot on the map called Camden, near Elk, Washington. "All that was really there was a grange hall and a mercantile. I don't think it was actually an incorporated town. I was making $25 every Saturday night, and that's what I was living on." Homer's songs were later recorded by Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam and others, selling over 20 million copies.

After graduating from high school, Buddy moved to California with his new wife, and worked as a radio D.J. for the next six years. When the relationship ended, and after a stint with Country Rock recording group Kid Rodeo, Buddy went on the road with a folk trio (Bodacious - with Steve Fearey and Thea Wescott) playing hand drums. At the end of that tour, Buddy was offered a gig with country performer/songwriter Gary Bryant and recording artist Bobby Wayne, at the Stockyards Inn back in his home town of Spokane, where they became the house band for an extended period of time.

Buddy spent the next several years working with various Country artists across the U.S., Canada and Alaska, as well as playing with Rock, Blues and Folk bands. At one gig, Buddy was introduced to Tex Williams' Manager, who hired him to put together road bands to play behind a number of recording artists.

Buddy now resides along the Spokane River, in Post Falls, Idaho, still playing and putting together a recording studio.
