To commemorate 35 consecutive years of musical appearances at the same location the Old Town Pub has named the Max Buda band as artists in residence for the year 2011, appearing around 9pm the First Monday of each month throughout the year.

    Since 1975 Max Buda has played the Monster/Pub with countless aggregations including Los Chumps and Snotty Scotty and the Hankies but now is the leader of his own offbeat and undefinable group which he characterizes as the best he's ever played in (and that is no mean feat).

In typical Buda fashion, the group mines Rock (Chuck Berry, the Coasters) Soul (Joe Tex,

Brook Benton), Country (Buck Owens, the Louvin Brothers) Bossa Nova (Gilberto, Bonfa), Older Jazz (Ellington, Armstrong), Newer Jazz (Art Blakey, Horace Silver), movie themes and instrumentals like "Cherry Blossom Pink" or "Harlem Nocturne" with plenty of New Orleans, Mambo and Martin Denny style curveballs served up to keep things interesting.
