His influences from the 50's and 60's were never forgotten, especially "Doo-Wop" and early Rock'n'Roll / Rockabilly.
Doo Wop music is almost extinct and forgotten about, but Budge Magraw is determined to keep the flame alive, and carry the torch for Doo-Wop music, for others who want to feel it's warmth and keep it burning for future artists and music lovers.......
