略歴

Leo "Bud" Welch was an American gospel/ blues singer and guitarist. By 1947 at age 15, Bud Welch could play guitar and sing well enough to perform in front of an audience. He received praise and blessings of many elder guitar players. And he was offered an audition by BB King - but could not afford the trip to Memphis. Bud stayed with the blues till 1975 when he mostly converted to gospel. His international music career started in 2014, with the release of the album "Sabougla Voices" by Big Legal Mess Records. His subsequent studio album, "I Don't Prefer No Blues", also recorded for Big Legal Mess, was released in 2015.
