BUDDY SPICHER on fiddle and electric mandolin leads the band and showcases his legendary talent that has graced hundreds of hit records over his forty year career, performing with great entertainers like George Strait, Hank Snow, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez.
ANDREA LADD is the featured vocalist. Andrea really makes the joint jump with her wonderful trademark NSB songs like Bonaparte's Retreat, How High the Moon, and Pick Yourself Up. And as her proud dad, Buddy always introduces Andrea as the beautiful member of the band.
DAVID SPICHER does an incredible job acoustic bass, sings some Western Swing hits like "Roly Poly" and "Ida Red", and switches pace to songs such as "Exactly Like You", and "I'm Beginning to See the Light". "The Duke" puts on a great show and is the source of most of the on-stage antics.
MATTHEW SPICHER keeps the rhythm driving with his jazz and Western Swing guitar. Matt will lay down great vocals of "Miss Molly", "Stay All Night" and "After You've Gone". Not a still foot in the house, either.

One of "Music City's" most in-demand studio musicians for three decades, Buddy's versatile precision fiddle style has made enormous contributions to the commercial success of classic earlier recordings by Webb Pierce, Ray Price, Bill Monroe, Kitty Wells, Jimmy Martin, Hank Snow, Bob Wills, The Lewis Family, George Strait, Linda Ronstadt, Hank Thompson, Henry Mancini, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Dan Fogelberg, Crystal Gayle, The Osborne Brothers, Steve Miller Band, The Gatlin Brothers, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Happy Goodman Family, The Florida Boys, Jessi Colter, Marty Robbins, Melba Montgomery, Tex Williams, Billy Crash Craddock, The Four Guys, Rosemary Clooney, Eddy Rabbit, Jerry Reid, Johnny Bush, Darrell McCall, Marie Osmond, Ronnie Reno, Earl Scruggs, Gene Watson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Neil Young, Dan Seals, Buffy St.-Marie, Grandpa Jones, Lynn Anderson, Loretta Lynn, Earl Scruggs, Roy Rogers, Asleep at the Wheel, Gail Davies, Osborne Brothers, Johnny Paycheck, Eddy Arnold, Ann Margret, Webb Pierce, Charlie Pride, Joan Baez, Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Dolly Parton, Connie Smith, The Monkeys, Dean Martin, Gary Burton, Mel McDaniel, Don Reno, Mark O'conner, Charlie Daniels, Mel Tillis, Teresa Brewer, Reba McIntire, Dottie West, Jimmy Martin, Jim and Jesse, Ace Cannon, Area Code 615 and Garth Brooks to name a few of the countless artists with whom he as worked on diverse album and single record projects. When you hear that familiar velvet smooth fiddle in George Strait's, "Amarillo by Morning", you experience the lonesome emotion of the song as Buddy's heartfelt solo expresses it. Buddy appeared with Mark O'Connor on his "Heroes" album, a collection of performances by Mark and his favorite fiddle players. Buddy has his own personal record label Spicher Family Records and recording studio called "THE FIDDLE HOUSE".
Along with his imaginative arrangements, Buddy is well known as being a master of "double stops", i.e. playing two notes at the same time and literally harmonizing with himself. In his performances he plays harmonized lines and solos that most people couldn't imagine playing with two fiddlers, yet he seems to do it effortlessly. When you watch and hear Buddy play with The Nashville Swing Band, its hard to imagine how that much beautiful sound comes from a single fiddle.
To reach Buddy Spicher about fiddle lessons or record at Buddy's "Fiddle House" call 615-262-5999 or email spicherp@bellsouth.net. Buddy is playing a John Dailey Signature Series Violin. TAAG Violins is his choice of repair and sales located in Nashville, TN.
