Father, son duo to take the stage this Saturday during Freedom Fiesta 2025 Chris Austin
(Seguin) -- Clint Taft and the Buckwild Band will take the stage on Saturday for this year’s Freedom Fiesta at Central Park in downtown Seguin. Clint and his band have been entertaining crowds around this area for 19 years. Around a year ago, Clint’s son Colton joined the band. Colton is 17 years old and will be an incoming senior this fall at Seguin High School. Before teaming up in the band, the elder Taft says he and his son started working together musically during the COVID pandemic. Seguin Today Magazine recently caught up with the father/son dua and are sharing some of their responses during that interview. Clint: Well, it was really neat. I don’t know if I’m a very good teacher (laughs). So, it was actually what, during Covid? Colton: Yeah. Clint: He would stay home, and school was out and he was doing
school from home and that’s when he really got into it. And didn’t you use all kinds of apps? Colton: Yeah, I learned a lot online. Clint: I wouldn’t say it was me; it was more him (laughs). Like his dad, Colton plays guitar and sings in the band. Clint calls the Buckwild Band a “country-variety band,” and he says the teenage Colton brings a traditional approach to the group that is appreciated by younger crowds. Colton: Honestly not really. I don’t listen to too much outside of country music. Kinda like my dad, (I listen) to rock too. Clint: The younger people seem to like traditional country more. It’s kind of fascinating. But we play rock and Motown stuff, and either myself or we have two other guys in the band who will sing. Duo, pg. 3
