PAUL HODES and THE BLUE BUDDHA BAND celebrate the release of their second album, “The Heartland”, in a CD release concert at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in Concord, New Hampshire, at 7:30 PM, on December 5, 2025. ." Lead by guitar-slinging former Congressman Paul Hodes, The Blue Buddha Band features Bassist Jon Gabay, Dean Rubine on Keyboards, first call drummer, Ed Raczka, and guest vocalist Peggo Horstmann Hodes.
The Blue Buddha Band’s original Americana rock sound fuses roots, rock, folk, and blues with superb song-writing into a powerful blend. Our original tunes cover a lot of ground hitting all the essentials…Love, Sex, Life, Death, War, Peace and Hot Cars.
The Band released its debut 11 song album “Turn This Ship Around” featuring a true story embodied in an upbeat and poignant single “The Night I Met John Lennon”. The Band’s second album, “The Heartland” features nine new originals, will be available on CD at the release concert on December 5, and is slated for worldwide release on all platforms by Major Indie label, Valley Entertainment in early 2026.
