About Brody: At just seven years old, Brody Buster picked up one of his mother’s harmonicas and began teaching himself to play. Within a few short years, he was jamming on Beale Street in Memphis, taking the blues world by storm. As a child prodigy, Brody shared stages with legends including Quincy Jones, Chaka Khan, Keb’ Mo’, and Lee Oskar. B.B. King himself took a keen interest in Brody’s talent, inviting him to perform together numerous times over the years. Television appearances followed, with highlights including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Dateline, The Jon Stewart Show, and Full House. At sixteen, Brody stepped away from the spotlight to live as a normal teenager. In 2013, he reemerged with “Brody Buster’s One Man Band”—electric guitar, phenomenal harmonica skills, snare, kick drum, and high-octane energy. In 2017, he returned to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge, competing against over 150 world-class musicians. He walked away with first place for Best Harmonica Player and second place for Best Solo/Duo Act, then toured the U.S. and Canada, performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Tremblant International Blues Festival, and beyond. After navigating personal struggles during the pandemic, Brody relocated to Missouri in 2023 and committed to a fresh start. Now rooted in sobriety and renewed purpose, he’s poured his experiences into new music, recording his first self-produced full-band studio album with some of Kansas City’s finest blues musicians.
