Bud Melvin

Bud Melvin's name conjures images of an overweight elderly man. Bud Melvin is actually a Chicago singer-songwriter and artist named John Poston who creates quirky pop gems and country anthems. The instrumentation of his music is comprised of unique combination of Game Boy, banjo, acoustic guitar or lap / pedal steel guitars. His vocal styling shifts from one song to another: Once his voice is quiet and shy, next time his doubled vocals sound reminiscent how friendly monster might sound.
