Creating 70s-inspired rock
Creating 70s-inspired rock
As music lovers, we are constantly searching for that one band that captures the essence of our favorite era, the 1970s. The music of that decade was raw, authentic, and unapologetically rebellious. And guess what? We have found that band for you – The Buddha Bums. Hailing from Ohio, The Buddha Bums are a group of talented musicians who have mastered the art of creating original, 1970s-style hard rock and psychedelic rock music.
As the world of music continues to evolve and change, it's refreshing to see a band like The Buddha Bums keeping the spirit of hard rock and psychedelic rock alive. Hailing from Ohio, this group has captured the essence of the era with their original music and unique approach. At the core of The Buddha Bums' sound is a deep appreciation for the raw, unadulterated energy that defined the rock scene of the 70s.
The Buddha Bums are Zen Cowboys. We are comprised of:
In the studio:

Live band:
- Don Kloss, guitar, vocals, keyboards, harmonica
- Matt Carrico, guitar, keyboards

To stay true to the music and what the audience hears, we strive to not make use of devices such as pitch correction, time snapping, drum samples, post-production compression, re-amping, amplifier simulations, and other studio "tricks" that make music sound sterile and inauthentic, in the studio and live. We use real instruments, amplifiers and effects pedals. We believe that rock should sound raw but clear, have warmth, clarity, and depth of sound and dynamics. We endeavor to serve up the best elements of classic rock in a fresh package, and to give audiences a live show that will live as a keynote memory.
