Buckman Coe
By The Mountain's Feet
Buckman Coe. If he had a horse, he might be a samurai. But instead of waving a katana around, it would be a ukulele or a guitar. And he'd be singing down-home Americana, sun-sweetened folk and soul-drenched blues. You might ask yourself 'Who is this cheerful Mongol horseman?' because rather than crushing skulls with his bare hands he'd be squeezing a black accordion and soothing your soul with a voice purer than the look in his eye. There have been comparisons with Jeff Buckley, Ben Harper and Genghis Khan. But Buckman is more than the sum of his influences, and the musician is as interested in the health of the global consciousness and respect for the planet as he is in a bunch of people getting together to listen to live music and dance.
