The Buck Buckley Band: News

The Buck Buckley Band had a great time playing at the annual Flight Of The Butterflies gala in support of the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children. It was great to see so many people out there dancing and enjoying themselves.

The Buck Buckley Band is back on the web, with music downloads, event info, pictures and contact information. For up to the minute info, follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/bbband, or become a fan of our Facebook page.

We went on an amazing cruise this month - a "Journey Through Song" hosted by Sixthman and Carnival cruiselines. The cruise featured many of our favorite musicans including Lyle Lovett, Emmyou Harris, John Hiatt. Patty Griffin, Shawn colvin and the amazing Buddy Miller...and many others. It was truly unforgettable. We also met a number of really nice folks that we will never forget. Here we are doing an Open Mic show during the cruise. Thanks to Ari Hest for his very kind words of encouragement!

Our song "Delta Daughter" was selected as Track Of The Day" on garageBand.com - a site that allows indie musicians to critique each other's work. A live track from our most recent show at Eddie's Attic, it features Todd Davis on mando and Jack Brantley on bass.

Buck and Patrice are working on a new project...a stripped down CD containing originals and cover tunes that feature Appalachian style themes and harmonies. It's what we love and what we do best.

We have a few samples of what we have so far in the Music section of this website. We recorded it with an MAudio Microtrack handheld (borrowed from Mike Graves of Osiris Studio...thanks Mike) at my Mom's house...just the two of us with Buck's guitar. It's very live...but we're hoping the flaws make it sound "authentically approximate" as our friend Jack would say. Anyhow,,,,we'd love to hear what you think Write us a note in our Guestbook!

Buck and I are really looking forward to heading back to Union Grove for the 80-zillionth annual Fiddlers Convention. We were fortunate enough to attend last year with Hal Beaver and friends, and we wouldn't miss it this year for the world. We'll be car camping out there under Marlin Brackett's big blue tent..come on out and bring the kids.

Hal Beaver is a national treasure and a friend of ours who created a unique style of music he calls "Blackgrass." You may have caught him at one of his shows at Northside Tavern or an Avondale festival, or seen him at a Buck Buckley Band show. We're very excited to report that Hal will be recording a CD at NPR Studios in Washington next week, supported by several fine musicians such as Marlin Brackett, Jonathan Adams of The Aerials, and the fabulous Jack Brantley. Hal will also be supported by the vocals of his talented and beautiful daughter, Lissy Beaver. Lissy is a member of the group Rosemont Family Reunion http://www.rosemontfamilyreunion.com that is currently topping the college charts. Buck won't be able to make it to DC due to his intensive studies, but Patrice might get to do a few backing vocals. There will also be a gig Saturday night, Feb 4th in Chinatown. If you're in DC, come on by!

Not too shabby. Thanks for all the support for "No Stranger" and the other original tunes on "Black Bandana"!

Tell us what you think of it.

"No Stranger", one of the tracks on the BBB's CD "Black Bandana" is shooting up the folk rock charts on garageband.com, and winning all kinds of awards on the way...including #1 Male Vocalist in Folk Rock of All Time for Buck Buckley.
