Good Buddy

Good Buddy

"Good Buddy’s journey began with a chance encounter at a street-side café in Lynchburg, where a homeless bluesman with a magnetic smile introduced himself as Good Buddy. He joined Philipp Gabathuler (vocals, guitar) and Abe Goorskey (mandolin, vocals) at their table, uninvited but instantly welcomed. Inspired by his spirit and stories, the duo went home and created some train songs. Since then, Good Buddy has been dedicated to honoring that serendipitous meeting, blending tight harmonies and soulful playing to evoke the feeling of riding the rails along the James River in a vintage boxcar.

Over the years, Good Buddy has evolved into a dynamic collective of talented musicians who each bring their unique flavors to the mix. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the wide-open plains of Wyoming, they've woven elements of bluegrass, jazz, and blues into their distinctive “bluesgrass” style. The lineup is ever-changing but always passionate, with each new member contributing to the rich tapestry of the music."
