The Buddy Rich Big Band has all of the excitement, drive, and showmanship that Buddy brought throughout his career. Not a tribute, not “The Next” Buddy Rich, but a full blown sixteen piece big band charging through Buddy’s original charts playing classics like Mercy, Mercy, Love For Sale, Nutville, and Birdland, along with new charts just as Buddy Rich would have played them. This is not your grandparents music! No nostalgia. This is a contemporary take on a classic style.

The band features EMMY Award winning drummer, Gregg Potter, who not only brings his power and charismatic drumming style to the music, but also possesses a stage presence and technique that would make Buddy proud. Cathy Rich hosting the evening is as close as one could get to having Buddy there. With tales from the road and home, growing up with this “one of a kind” music legend makes this multimedia presentation a guaranteed hit!
