Buddy Wachter has, quiet simply, devoted his life to music; particularly the banjo. A devotee of Eddie Peabody, Harry Reser and other banjo greats of the past, Buddy has taken their influence and evolved into one of the most unique and innovative banjoists the world has known. From night clubs to musical festivals to legitimate Symphony concerts (one such memorable event held at Carnegie Hall hosted by Walter Cronkite), Buddy Wachter's music and influence is a unique addition to our banjo community. A qualified instructor, Wachter had also helped many banjo players improve their technique and musical approach to their instrument through his workshops and teaching materials.
