Aaron Woodall is as charming and delightful on stage as he is honest and vulnerable. Once a nice young man adored by mothers and bishops everywhere, Aaron sadly grew into a hedonistic hoodlum who finds joy in sick, depraved delights such as marijuana, and R-rated movies (both good, it turns out). But even after growing up to learn that God is dead, love isn't real, and beer doesn't even taste very good, he never gave in to cynicism.

It’s equal parts the songwriting of Marty Robbins, Spaghetti Western orchestration of Ennio Morricone and the electronic architecture of Trent Reznor. Buff’s timeless western voice blazes a trail through a landscape of mountainous 808s, sweeping analog synths and home-brewed samples – alongside Buff’s trusty guitar, Nessie.
