Chris Buck Band
Chris Buck Band is is ALL IN, which is the name of the band’s latest album, released in February 2019 to over a million listeners. One of the most streamed country music artists in Canada, and a band that’s consistently invited back to events, Chris’ songwriting prowess and love of music shines boldly through his songs, from the recent Top 30 hit “Good Ol’ Days” to the upbeat anthem “Giddy Up”, and the balladry of the Top 20 radio smash “That’s When You Know”.
From auspicious beginnings to becoming a top charting country artist, Chris Buck was inspired to go “ALL IN” and pursue a serious career in music after the death of a young musician friend whom he had mentored. For years the band rode the asphalt, growing a grassroots following before signing with Royalty Records / Sony Music Canada in 2016. Chris Buck Band’s self-titled 2017 debut on the label features 5x top 40 country radio hits, and his most recent release has racked up a Top 30 hit and over a million streams in the first 3 months. Along with Chris Buck, the group’s current line-up consists of guitarists Ryan Stead and Phil Puxley, bassist Matt Generaux and drummer Taylor Allum.

Music's Journey Podcast INTERVIEW w/ Special Guest Award Winning Canadian Country Group ''Chris Buck Band'' Hosted by Kim Cyr
''In 2020, Chris Buck has been back writing like never before preparing to go into the studio to work on songs that he has written as his best work yet,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine.
''This collection of new songs that are coming out in the near future will connect to the fans with more raw, more real experiences in his lyrics then he has ever written before. '' ''Chris shows his vulnerability in his new songwriting honing and mastering his craft by not being afraid to write more about the stories he wants to tell.''
''Çhris has really evolved during this time of the pandemic.'' ''Most artists don't have the time to write without so much pressure once you come off a tour promoting your latest songs.'' ''To take this time to reflect, to be completely creative, and have that time to be able to get that clarity to write the music you want to write has been very rare for Chris.''
''I believe this is the best work I have ever written,'' says Chris Buck during my interview with him. ''This time has been hard for many artists not being on tour and performing their new music that they have worked on and can't wait to share with fans.'' ''Our band feels the same way,'' says Chris. ''I really didn't know how to handle it but having that quiet time for all these months has allowed me to dig deeper than I ever have before.'' ''I listened to the stories I was hearing from other people and I found myself even more grounded in family and the simple things in my life.''
''I can really look at the music I was writing and see where I wanted to take my songwriting.'' You learn a lot about yourself during all this as I know most people are and I am taking the good from this hard time and using that towards my writing,'' says Chris. ''Don't get me wrong, I miss performing and can't wait to play live on stage with my band once again.'' ''I can't wait to get into the studio to see what these songs become.'' ''We have been held back because of COVID not being able to get into the studio but we will be soon and I am excited about the new material and can't wait for you all to hear it,'' said Chris.
''I have always felt a special fondness for this humble, hardworking, soulful man, Chris Buck and his journey in the music industry,'' says Cyr. ''Stay tuned...Chris Buck Band will be delivering some great new songs once the band gets back in the studio to record.'' ''I am very impressed with Chris and how far he has come.'' ''I know just how hard he and the band have worked for all they have accomplishments and what matters to Chris the most is connecting to the fans with lyrics that hit home.''
''I am looking forward to the new music by Chris Buck Band,'' says Cyr. ''I can't wait.'' - Kim Cyr NOW and THEN Magazine
