The Buddy System pairs tunes, ‘toons
Local musician-entrepreneur-artist-writer-doorman Ryan Lewis has played in his share of bands, with the Agenda and the Sunshine Fix among them. But Lewis’ latest musical endeavor is something that reaches far beyond anything he’s done before. Guitarist Lewis and his drummer brother Mat have joined forces with bassist-illustrator Lauren Gregg and keyboardist-animator Craig Sheldon to make up the Buddy System, a consortium blending sci-fi instrumentals - particularly the bewitching tune “Return from Horse Mountain” - with inventive animated shorts to create a unique entertainment form.
