Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers
Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers (sometimes stylized as "Buddy Wasisname & The Other Fellers", though the official name does not contain the "&" symbol) is a musical and comedy trio from Newfoundland and Labrador, founded in 1983 and composed of Kevin Blackmore ("Buddy Wasisname"), Wayne Chaulk, Byron Pardy and Ray Johnson ("The Other Fellers"). The group specializes in Newfoundland and folk music, and performs comedic skits and stand-up routines.Chaulk performs on bass or guitar, Johnson on accordion or fiddle, and Blackmore on mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar and improvised percussion instruments including Tupperware lids and garbage bags. Byron Pardy performs on bass and backing vocals. All three musicians sing and write songs which reflect their Newfoundland heritage; Johnson also arranges traditional accordion numbers for the band to perform. Their recordings range from serious reflections on Newfoundland culture to light-hearted tales that border on the ridiculous (e.g. "Is You 'Appy?" and "Chainsaw Earle"). They have produced 15 albums, 2 of which are purely comedy focused, 5 compilation albums, and 5 live DVDs. Provided by Wikipedia
