Richard Buckner is an American alt-country singer-songwriter hailing from California. With a career spanning several decades, Buckner has established himself as a prominent figure in the genre. After spending time in Edmonton, Alberta, he made his way to Brooklyn, New York before settling down in upstate New York. In addition to his musical endeavors, Buckner recently released his first book titled "Cuttings from the Tangle" with Black Sparrow Press.

Buckner's unique sound and introspective lyrics have drawn comparisons to other notable artists such as *Richmond Fontaine*, *Centro-matic*, and *Jay Farrar*. His music embodies the spirit of alt-country while incorporating elements of folk and rock. Fans of *Uncle Tupelo*, *Blue Mountain*, and *Golden Smog* will find solace in Buckner's heartfelt compositions.

Influenced by a diverse range of musicians including *Jeff Tweedy*, *Alejandro Escovedo*, and *The Jayhawks*, Buckner's discography showcases his versatility as an artist. From soulful ballads to energetic anthems, each song is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Whether you're a fan of *Clem Snide* or enjoy the sounds of bands like *Magnolia Electric Co.* and *Old 97's*, Richard Buckner's music offers something for everyone.

In the time since 'Our Blood' was released and after a few long tours, Richard Buckner attempted to work on writing short stories but found himself drawn back into the music room. The evidence of his time in the writer's chair is clear in the dense, lovely prose of Surrounded. Throwing out the 'tricks and trades' of his previous efforts, Buckner hunkered down at home and chose a few unfamiliar pieces of gear - a Suzuki QChord electronic autoharp and an Electro-Harmonix POG2 pedal - to create basic tracks and open up more sonic possibilities. "The best outcomes happen sometimes when I'm unfamiliar with the tool that I'm using (imagine MacGyver wearing a dog cone)." Vinyl with download.
