Hey, I'm Buddy!
I was born and raised in Montana. Originally born in Kalispell, but moved all over the state until landing in Bellingham, WA with my family in 2012.
I have been a performer since I was 9 years old, doing ventriloquism for my church, school and various other events/venues.
It wasn't until the Covid-19 shutdown that I began to discover "Western" music. I instantly fell in love with the Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and others that defined the genre.
I learned to yodel with all the free time I gained by being laid off from work during that time, and began to steep myself in the Western genre.
The patriarchs of my family were large country and bluegrass fans, but I hadn't really paid attention to any of it until this time. My great grandfather's record collection of over 10,000 vinyl records became available to me after his passing, and my passion just continued to grow.
Now I have recently picked back up my passion for throwing my voice and do various vaudeville style ventriloquist routines where I can, while also yodeling and crooning old cowboy standards for whoever can bear to listen.
I look forward to playing for you!
Cecil & Me
Vaudeville Duo
This is me and my good pall Cecil (pronounced Sessle), and we can't wait to meet you!
Cecil is a replica of a dummy made by the McElroy Brothers out of Harrison, OH in the 1930s. I did all the mechanical work and paint to get him stage ready. I build and restore ventriloquist figures for performers and collectors all over the world.
