Biography
Who doesn't need a little dark and brooding music now and again? Sure thing. But the utter lack of these qualities are what distinguish The Bucktones from so many bands. This is a group of veteran players who thoroughly enjoy making their brand of upbeat music, and that energy radiates to their audiences. Influences include Susan Tedschi, Los Lobos, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, SRV, and Johnny Cash. Based for several years in the Denver area, The Bucktones' members have their roots in Manhattan, San Francisco, LA and Minneapolis.
