Buddy Mac Leads Bellingham's Old-School Country Revival

Musician and ventriloquist Buddy Mac is set to play a Halloween show at Arcadian Public House, potentially leading a resurgence of classic cowboy country music.

Buddy Mac, whose real name is Brady McAtee, grew up in Montana surrounded by his great-grandfather's collection of over 10,000 old country and bluegrass LPs, fostering a love for the music and cowboy aesthetic.

After performing solo or with occasional collaborators, McAtee teamed up with Jan Peters on harmonica, who helped assemble the Ten-Gallon Troubadours, a group of local musicians.

Any musical moment from history is subject to revival at any time.

With their unique sound, Buddy Mac and the Ten-Gallon Troubadours are poised to lead the charge in a potential classic cowboy country music revival.
