Bucktown Kickback skillfully blends bluegrass, blues, country and rock & roll to create foot-stompin barn-burnin songs with the occasional lonesome, tear-jerkin' waltz or obscure cover you forgot you loved. Their most recent collection of songs fiction pickin' illuminates the rich history of storytelling and intelligent musicianship still found in American music today. Headlining concerts throughout the Southeast and Midwest as well as opening up for the likes of Alabama, Junior Brown, Railroad Earth and more, Bucktown Kickback electrify listeners with their live performances and studio recordings.
"Americana + Jamgrass + Classic Country = Bucktown Kickback
...Fans of artists such as The Gourds, Yonder Mountain String Band, the Grateful Dead and Whiskeytown will find plenty to cheer about in the songs and eclectic-but-focused style of Bucktown Kickback...The recipe for Bucktown Kickback sports heavy doses of bluegrass drive and fleet-fingered chops, plenty of tear jerking honky-tonk, a sprinkle of rock swagger and singer-songwriter flair, and Dudding’s love of narrative songwriting and easygoing melodies...Blurring the lines between Americana, jamgrass, honky-tonk and roots rock..."
David Brewer, HIGH COUNTRY PRESS, Boone, NC
"Ace Americana band Bucktown Kickback is well worth hearing if you're into smart, rootsy, acoustic-based music"
Peter Cooper, THE TENNESSEAN, Nashville, TN
"With a name like Bucktown Kickback, you may as well not even show up to the venue if you can’t throw down with some good old-fashioned, fiery, oh-mama-that’s-what-I-like roots tunes. Luckily for you, these dudes can do that and more, touching perfectly on everything from country slide blues to creepy, creek-bed-at-night Americana. I dare you to miss this."
Josh Ruffin, METRO SPIRIT, Augusta, GA (picks for the week)
"Bucktown Kickback Mine Alt-Country GOLD
Dudding — singer, songwriter and creative force behind Bucktown Kickback — produced much of the band’s 2007 disc “Lost In Your Hometown” to sound like prime Appalachia. The record effectively balances roots grit and country rock coherence. “Seven Number Blues” is an enlightened redneck tune that sounds like a “Basement Tapes” leftover. “That’s Life” is a slow burn of honky-tonk molasses. A Neil Young-type rocker, “A Shooting Star,” closes the record. But the heart of “Lost…” is Dudding’s songs and lived-in vocals. While the embellishments are tasteful, the material could stand up fine presented by Dudding and his acoustic." Matt Wake, BOOTLEG
“BUCKTOWN KICKBACK slide easily from Bluegrass to Country to a rootsy Americana at the drop of a wide-brimmed hat…The country palette of the Grateful Dead, The Roots Pop spark of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.” Staff Writer, CITYBEAT, Cincinnati, OH
