love all the infuences here always with a bluegrass thread running to through

This is an homage to Steely Dan and also to the playing styles of Bernard Purdie, Chuck Rainey, & Larry Carlton. from former Joe Jackson guitarist Vinnie Zummo.  It's from my album "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America Vol 3" available at iTunes or CD Baby. All instruments & vocals are by Vinnie Zummo but with backup vocals by Janice Zummo.

How'd This Happen

Kind of a toe tapper-  a preview from my soon to be released album
 

Man On Fire

Here is my song "Waffles" from my "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America" album. it is available directly from me, on iTunes, or CD Baby. I am playing everything on it. The album was mixed and mastered by Kyle Kelso.

Waffles

This is a song from my album "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America Vol 3".  I am playing everything except bass which was played by the great Johnny Caruso. The song is very uncharacteristic for me because it is a ballad and it is acoustic guitar based which I do not ordinarily do. The album is available directly from me, at iTunes, at Amazon, and at CD Baby.

Just For You

"I Wanna Love You" is a Beach Boys homage from my album "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America Vol 3" available at iTunes or CD Baby. All instruments, including real drums, & vocals are by Vinnie Zummo.
Matty Amendola doubles the lead vocal in the chorus and Janice does some of the backups as well . The song was mixed and mastered by the great Kyle Kelso.

07 10,000 Charms

Here’s a blast from the past, transferred from scratchy old cassettes left at the bottom of a box…WTF knows what happened to the master tapes. Recorded in 1986 at Russian Hill Studios amazing 24 track analogue facility, nestled in the middle of tony Russian Hill, SFO. Jeremy Wheat and I on guitars and vocals, I play upright bass borrowed from Tim Fuson, Bennett Bowman on bongos, Craig Silvey engineered. I think Craig was interning there at the time and they gave him the keys so he could get experience after hours, and recorded me gratis as an experiment. Wish that would happen again! Last I heard, Craig was living in the UK, was a hot shot producer, and also managed The Kinks’ Konk Studios in Muswell Hill.

A Closer Walk With Thee

Roots music veteran BUDDY WOODWARD is an award winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, side-man and studio musician. He was a founding member of seminal 90's alt.country whiz kids THE GHOST ROCKETS, and NYC honky-tonkers BUDDY WOODWARD & THE NITRO EXPRESS ("as explosive - and polished - a hard honky-tonk outfit as you'll find around New York" -- Barry Mazor, The Village Voice), was a featured performer on Greg Garing's Alphabet City Opry, as well as having played with John Starling, Steve Earle, Rosie Flores, Jim Lauderdale, The Coal Porters, Laura Cantrell, Bill Keith, Beat Rodeo, Sid Griffin, Smalltown Parade, The Jet Set, and The Chelsea Mountain Jamboree, among many others.

Buddy co-founded THE DIXIE BEE-LINERS, known throughout the United States and beyond for their shatteringly beautiful original material (written or co-written by Buddy) and scorching onstage chemistry. Combining blues and folk-rock influences with bluegrass and old-time mountain music, this award-winning ensemble creates a sound which is "steeped in tradition, but with tones and rhythms that are very 21st century" (No Depression).

As a voice actor, Woodward has extensive credits on dozens of animated cartoons, including Pokemon, and a starring role in the U.S. version of the hit Japanese show Ping-Pong Club, which gained him well-deserved praise for his comic timing and improvisational finesse.

As a stage actor, Woodward has appeared in many productions at The Barter State Theater of Virginia, and is a proud member of Actor's Equity.

Buddy proudly uses and endorses the following: D'Addario strings & Planet Waves, Fishman Transducers, Inc., Recording King guitars and banjos, The Loar mandolins, Gold Tone Instruments, JangleBox effects, VHT amplification, Alclair In-Ear monitors, Ratliff Mandolins, Blue Chip picks, Emerson Power Bridge, Tech 21 effects, and Kel Audio microphones.
