    Artist description
    Bud Melvin wants you to listen to his music....................................................... Bud Melvin travels among the many circles of the Chicago art and music scene, but he is not of them. He has a meager amount of formal music training and a basic liberal arts education. He is a true inside-outer artist, walking the tightrope between looking out and looking in. Some of the generes of music he has pioneered are:Banjotronic: A pseudo-ambient, new-age, indie-listening style centered around loops and electronic manipulation of banjo playing.Shit-Hop: A 100% vocally-realized art-form/therapy based on the old-school hip-hop aesthetic and the DIY garage-punk ethic.Folk: Using the means commonly avaliable to transmit the general culture to succeeding generations. Bud Melvin is not a poor rural farmer in the dust bowl, but was raised in the suburbs in the 70's and 80's. His brand of folk music reflects his heritage.
