The Journey of Leo “Bud” Welch

Born in 1932 in rural segregated Mississippi, Blues- and Gospel singer Leo “Bud” Welch has been a poor man all his life, working hard in the cotton fields and the woods. Until in 2013, after decades of missed opportunities and gigs in local Juke Joints and churches, a Gulf War veteran and management rookie teamed up with him. Together they took the Blues World by storm. LATE BLOSSOM BLUES tells the incredible story of Leo’s very late international success and his lighthearted take on life – The Leo “Bud” Welch Way.
