Buddy Merriam: Home
"Buddy Merriam & his group "Back Roads" have become a fan fav at Belmont Park.
Their annual appearence at our biggest event of the year -- the Belmont Stakes Day -- is testimony to that." - Jeff Lubin Mgr of Music Program/ Belmont Racetrack
“Merriam seems to be hitting the gas pedal. He's writing, performing and recording more than ever, and he has become the go-to guy for bluegrass music in the Northeast.” ~Mandolin Magazine
"Buddy is a special jewel within the bluegrass firmament. Not only is he a traditionalist at heart, but also an innovator; something I think Monroe would have been proud of. In addition to his fine mandolin playing, Buddy has contributed to the bluegrass world by mentoring a number of currently rising stars. " ~Brance Gillian, Bluegrass Today

Here's what people are saying about
"Back Roads Mandolin, Vol. 1"
Hey Buddy,
Thanks so very much for the copies of "Back Roads Mandolin", as well as your latest CD. I can't wait to show this stuff to my kids. The books are beautifully laid out and extremely inviting to students. I am sure that my violinists will find that the mandolin, particularly as you present it, will be fertile ground for exploration. I believe there are lots of fascinating connections between the Classical and Blue Grass worlds. The CD is simply fabulous. Great writing, great playing, great collaboration. It really represents the terrific musician I know you to be. Thanks!
