“Green Buddha is a potent musical hybrid… A green salad of the freshest ingredients from Colorado, Southern Cal, and New Orleans… a heady mix that rivals any of the top bands in the burgeoning new reggae movement… one of our favorite sounding albums of the last year”

After more than 10 years on the music scene, GREEN BUDDHA is undeniably one of Colorado’s best original bands to experience live.  The band’s steadfast attrition and unwavering commitment to their music through challenging times, the ever changing music industry landscape and changes in personnel has been a driving force behind their success.

Founded by front man, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Seth Strickland; GREEN BUDDHA’s personnel line up also includes bassist Matt Grundstad (Euforquestra, Dubskin), Drummer Lem Williams (Jyemo Club, Maxwell) and keyboardist Matthew Wright (Euforquestra/Dubskin).

“The band’s name celebrates the selfless path and the gift of music; a vibration of healing given to us from the creator” “...the music and the songs chose me; I didn’t really have a choice in it” chuckles GB’s founder / front man Seth Strickland.
