Michael James Buono

Michael is the kind of drummer we all dream of working with. A consummate professional, he plays and understands any style well. Michael's resume reads like a BLUE BOOK of American Music. Quincy Jones, Dolly Parton, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Paul Williams, Larry Coryell, Jimmy Buffet, Bud Shanks, Sarah Vaughn just to name a few of the great artists he has worked with. His drumming is seemingly effortless, however succinct - keeping it all together and still creating tension and release.
