Southern CA’s premiere cigar box guitar blues band, The Budrows, is set to kick it up a notch on December 3rd when the trio hosts a CD release party and art show where fans can win a new custom made guitar. The Budrows feature the father/daughter combo of Jason Farthing and the young Argentine vocal phenom Macarena Rivera, accompanied by veteran flute and harpman Jesse Boden.  More artists and custom cigar box guitar builders including Bob Hoard, Josh Gayou and Cris Portillo will join Farthing in displaying custom cigar box guitars and artwork at the event.  A drawing for the guitar and other prizes and CDs will be held at 9pm to celebrate the release of The Budrows CD entitled “100% Foot Stompin’ Cigar Box Rock N’ Roll”.

The Budrows have been steadily expanding their southland following with an infectious foot-stompin’ (Farthing doubles on rhythm) brand of hill country blues. Vocalist Rivera lures audiences with her deep, exotic range, soulful instinct and stunning grace and presence well beyond her 18 years. The veteran chops of harpman Jesse Boden bring experience and the woodwind element to form a powerful and unique blues experience in the tradition of the American masters of the genre. Sure as molasses is slow, this band has the ability to transform any venue into a bonafide deep south juke joint, complete with a foot-stompin’, testifyin’ audience full of revelers having themselves a modern good time in an old fashioned style.
