Biscuit Rouse To Honor Buddy Miles
Biscuit Rouse
Drummer-Guitarist-Producer-Singer-Songwriter-Rock Star Wild Man Buddy Miles [1947-2008] pioneered the concept of a rock’n’roll band with horns in Electric Flag before Chicago and before Blood Sweat & Tears. He played with Hendrix in the original Band Of Gypsies. He wrote the timeless anthem “Them Changes.”
Drummer-Singer-Songwriter-Producer Biscuit Rouse, raised in Newark, a veteran of the bands of Lauryn Hill (East Orange) and Vernon Reid, had his debut album released just last year (Biscuit & Buddy). It will be released on vinyl this year. On September 5, he will host a special night in honor of Buddy Miles at The Cutting Room in New York City. Numerous surprise guests will be invited. “This tribute is personal,” says Biscuit. “Buddy Miles was the blueprint—not just for the kind of drummer I am, but the kind of musician and musical director I strive to be.
“I’m beyond thrilled,” he continues. “This show isn’t just a performance—it’s a powerful tribute to an icon whose music and spirit continue to inspire. Get ready for an unforgettable night filled with energy, passion and soul.”
