Buck likes Elvis, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones, Hendrix, The Ramones, Ryan Adams...less obvious names (too many to mention)...people that affect public perception or at least have fun trying. Beat writers have been a big influence on him too, and Henry Miller.
Deanne has always been moved by traditional choral singing, folk harmonies (arranged and improvised) and contemporary harmony groups like The Beach boys, The Eagles, Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young, The Bee Gees. Chick singers with earthy, belter voices from the folk and blues genres get a big nod too.

From the moment you hear the opening lines of "We All Fall In Love Sometimes," one of the first songs Buck & Deanne learned together, you know you are in the presence of something special. On "Johnny & June" the voices join and rise in a meeting as pure and as natural as a country morning. And they keep on doing it - obviously, these two were born to sing together. For Buck & Deanne, it's the fulfilment of a search for a sound that draws deep on the roots of country, rockabilly, folk and blues music, songs of yearning and hurt and hope, a place - like life - where joy and sorrow walk close at hand. It is also proof that you don't have to be heartbroken to write songs that delve deep into the emotions. For this couple, the last few years have been the happiest of their lives. Together they collaborate on Buck's original material as well as placing their own special arrangements on traditional classics. Watch this space for details of a brand new 12 track CD due out by Christmas.
Thanks Deanne, look forward to seeing you both play at Macquarie Towns Music Club in August. As for Health, hmmm, well I'm still on that ship but I've begun noticing that my feet are getting quite wet and the sharks are circling...
Good to meet and listen in "realspace" last night and now in the cyber universe. Be great if you can make it on 5th June. Let me know if you're a'gigging here in the flat lands.
Ditto to you both - I am slowly (very slowly!) getting back into the 'folk' loop. So it will be great to see and hear you both again sometime. Its always nice to see a friendly face around the circuit.
