Little Buster

Anyone fortunate to stumble throughout Small Buster’s 1995 debut record for Bullseye Blues may have been thinking about, “Where’s he been all of this period?” The solution: going back three decades roughly, the blind guitarist continues to be offering up his soulful make of blues around his followed home of Longer Island, NY, along with his music group, the Spirit Brothers. Edward “Small Buster” Forehand was created on Sept 28, 1942 in Hereford, NC. He still left the NEW YORK College for the Deaf and Blind when he was 16 yrs . old, shifting to NY and breaking in to the regional R&B scene nearly immediately. Buster documented sparingly through the ’60s, waxing the Doc Pomus-penned “Youthful Young man Blues” for Jubilee in 1967. However the world-at-large continued to be ignorant of Buster’s amazing command from the spirit and blues lexicons until 1995, when Directly on Period! blew onto the modern scene as an unpredicted breath of oxygen. Buying Home adopted in 1997. While his documented output has regrettably been sparse, Buster is constantly on the tour regularly playing night clubs and festivals across the world.
