Come Back Buddy
Come Back Buddy is a professional touring trio covering the music of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and many other artists.
Their music is pure Americana. They’ve entertained for thousands in large venues as well as private parties. Come Back Buddy has played P.F. Chang’s Rock and Roll Marathon and just returned from L.A. where we played the world famous Whiskey A Go Go. They get people up and dancing. They’ve performed on “Good Morning Arizona” on multiple occasions. Come Back Buddy regularly performs in western states with California and Arizona as our main hubs.
The band is fronted by Mike Randall, providing rich vocals and exciting guitar lines. Janine Randall and Carlos Almeida accompany Mike on Bass and Drums.
So if you’re looking to turn the clock back for that sock-hop, that 50’s/60’s themed event or just want to hear some great music, Come Back Buddy is the band for you!

Year Round Tips For Pets! – NEW FEATURE
Enjoy fun and useful tips that will help that special member of the family! These tips will change from time to time, so visit often.
It gets very hot in Arizona early in the year and stays hot through early fall. Make smart choices for your pet.
- NEVER leave your pet in a parked car, even with the windows open. An animal’s body temperature can rise in just seconds, causing heat-related problems or even death. Normal body temperature for dogs and cats is between 101 and 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Walk your pet on cooler surfaces to protect his feet from burning. If the pavement is too hot for you to hold your hand on for more then a few seconds, it’s much too hot for your pet’s paws.
- Keep walks to a minimum. Your pet is much closer to the hot pavement and its body can heat up very quickly.
