Bud Weather's Goodtime Hustle

Weather has a cheeky sarcastic self-deprecating sense of humor. He rambles intermittently between songs and interacts with the audience. Expect a lot of chin wiggling and head bobbing. The band has been described as mid-tempo melodic folk-rock.

The band can come with instruments only or in configurations of any level of complexity. Lighting, sound and video equipment as well as technicians can be provided for events of ANY size. Ask for details.

Goodtime Hustle is a four piece electric band from the Seattle area that plays a mix of original music and uncommon covers. The band is fronted by Bud Weather, and features Chris Denny on lead guitar, Michael Gagliardo on bass and Tom Lash on drums. They count among their many influences: The Grateful Dead, Billy Strings, Meat Puppets and The String Cheese Incident.

Goodtime Hustle appeals to fans of psychedelic rock, alt-country, jam bands, and folk music.
The band can play up to four sets and can provide a PA and stage lighting if necessary.
