About Gary Buttery
From his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, Gary Buttery's professional music career has included his role as principal tubist with the United States Coast Guard Band (1976-1998) and positions
with the Long Beach Symphony and the San Carlo Opera in California.  He has also taught at Pepperdine University and currently performs with Alchemy, a tuba/euphonium quartet; Finest Kind,
a folk/jazz/sea music group; and the Boston Festival Orchestra.  Gary is Director of Bands at Connecticut College and teaches tuba and euphonium at the University of Rhode Island.  His involvement
in an ongoing study of whales and music earned him the distinction of being the first tuba soloist to be interviewed by Johnny Carson and featured with NBC's Tonight Show Orchestra in May, 1979.
