Help Keep Buddy Magazine Alive and Thriving
Buddy Magazine has been a labor of love for decades, celebrating the vibrant, underrepresented heart of Texas music, culture, and artistry. From our humble beginnings, we’ve prided ourselves on shining a spotlight on artists and stories too often overlooked by larger publications—and we’ve built a legacy that matters.
Why We Need Your Support
We’re not a nonprofit corporation with big fundraising drives. We simply have a deep commitment to telling the stories that deserve to be told, running on a shoestring budget and a whole lot of passion. While major media outlets spend millions, we’ve crafted a model that lets us operate with far less – without compromising on quality or integrity.
Your donation isn’t about charity. It’s an investment in keeping Texas music history alive, supporting working artists, and ensuring independent voices remain part of the conversation for years to come. With your support, we can keep Buddy Magazine thriving for the next 50 years and beyond.
Preserving History: The Ron McKeown Photo Archive
Your donation will also support one of our most ambitious projects: making the incredible Ron McKeown photo archive – 40,000 rare and historic photos – readily available to the public. These images capture the soul of Texas music, documenting moments that might otherwise be lost to time. Help us preserve, digitize, and share this invaluable collection with the world.
