Richard Buckner is at RecordBar tonight

Richard Buckner is one of those underappreciated artists who makes categorization difficult for music journalists. In the span of his 20-plus-year career, Buckner has managed to release nearly a dozen full-length albums that slither between acoustic alt-country and folk electronica. 

Buckner’s new album Surrounded is no exception, with expansive, contemplative songs that blossom like sad, doomed flowers along the side of a dirt road. Buckner’s live performances are typically stoic sets that focus purely on the music, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.
