BRENT BUCKLEY
Genre-straddling artist Brent Buckley has a lot going for him. Regardless of what style of music in which he is working - rock, instrumental, electronic, acoustic - he's at home and able to present a top-shelf presentation of said genre. .."I love adapting to different types of writing and the learning process that happens"... Music is his first love. .."I can lose myself in it and forget everything else...". Whatever the genre, fans can say precisely the same thing about Brent's music.
DRAMA
What moves people? Drama. Therefore, music without some sense of drama is anemic and unable to touch listeners the way music should. Brent says "Music has to have drama. Without that spark, there's no emotional connection; it's not about technique or equipment. I hear lots of music that's technically amazing in some way but doesn't make an impression." Well, there's no disputing that Brent's music indeed does make an impression. It's full of drama and fueled by skill and passion.
ALL OVER THE MAP
The term "all over the map" is not always used as a compliment, but for Brent, the musical map has no boundaries. "I like to rock out, like to quiet down, like to experiment, like to work to a goal, like to do projects where the ground is new to me"... Brent embraces musical challenges; they push him to new levels and that helps provide music that challenges listeners while also engaging and entertaining them. "I really admire artists who are able to do all of these things..."
PROJECTS
Just released - "Drivin' In My Sleep" - the new CD on TV Tray Records, Brent's independent label. The album includes several tracks from Brent's rock/blues/country bent as well as a couple of lovely solo acoustic guitar pieces. Brent placed twice as runner-up in the Song of the Year Contest for 2006. Industrial clients have embraced his music with such clients as GEICO and Airline Tariff Publishing latching on to his distinct sound. Buckley expects to be hitting the stage a lot in the upcoming months, but writing and recording will be taking top priority, with several projects in the works. He is examining the prospect of an indie release of an ambient/electronica album, working on songs for his next rock album and recently witnessed the Rockadelic Records re-release of a 1974 musical partnership with Val Rogolino. Brent is currently working with A&R Select, the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
"..Buckley's eclecticism is his strength and his forays into various corners of the musical world serves only to strengthen every project he takes on..." - A&R Select
I played with Yes because of chance. You would have been the better man for the job! You sound even better than when we were 20 years younger, brother. Keep it up.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
