As a studio musician in the 1970’s and 80’s I was fortunate to play on hundreds of sessions where Bob Buckley was either the composer, arranger, producer or band-leader … and in many cases he was all of the above! By any definition it was the “School of Bob”, a Master Class where I learned many of the skills and techniques that I still use as a musician and songwriter.

Robert Buckley is a kind and giving soul who writes in a voice that is distinctly recognisable and appealing to musicians at all levels. I have had the great joy of experiencing his immense creative prowess through many commissions, recording projects and concert performances across Canada and the USA. He offers a creative medium that not only rewards musicality but also demands commitment to the creation of refined sound through performance art.
