T. Buckley (nee Tim Buckley) is a roots artist in the true sense of the word, combining stylings of Country, Folk and Rock'n'Roll. Buckley and bassist, Derek Pulliam, silence a crowd with powerful harmonies. They can take hold of a young audience with edgy roots-rock and captivate traditional music lovers with timeless melodies. T. Buckley has been honing his craft for several years and in that time has played over 250 shows, both solo and with side project, Buck&Jess, and has shared the stage with a broad range of artists including Catherine MacLellan, Old Man Luedecke and Carolyn Mark. 2010 was a great year for T. Buckley. He was recognized as one of seven of Calgary's emerging best new artists by FFWD Weekly, and was honoured by winning the 2010 Calgary Folk Festival Songwriting Contest, earning him a performance at the Calgary Folk Festival and the Calgary Folk Club. Perhaps the most notable of his accomplishments was when he was awarded a10K20 recording grant from RAWLCO Radio in June 2010. With help from the RAWLCO grant, Buckley has released an exciting new record, Roll On. Immediately recognized on CKUA Radio’s Top Music Charts, the recording features a wonderfully diverse set of songs ranging in style from Traditional Country to Roots Rock. Roll On is quickly gaining the attention of roots music lovers throughout Western Canada, as BEATROUTE Magazine’s critic, Sebastian Buzzalino, recently wrote, "2010 may very well be the year in which the dam bursts and the rest of Calgary – let alone western Canada and beyond – fall in love with this singer-songwriter talent.”
UPCOMING SHOWS - Plan wayyyy ahead. February 4th at the Northern Lights Folk Club with Al Brant & Beth Portman. Get your tickets now! *We featured Tim's song "This Long Road".
