Buckman was born in London, England and, before he could pick up an interesting accent, was whisked off to the plains of Alberta where he picked up a pleasant but non-descript accent. He grew up singing along to the Beatles, the Police, and U2. As soon as he learned two chords on the guitar began to sing his own songs. Composing and performing had always been incredibly important to him, but was secondary to social, ecological, spiritual, and psychological studies in the UK, Canada, and the States. After working for a number of years as a care worker, counsellor, and instructor of yoga, the focus has increasingly become music as he discovered his greatest contribution to people and planet is through his voice and his music. Right now this is where he finds his greatest fulfilment. He strives to keep his music relevant to what is happening in this world at this time in our evolution while still touching the deepest emotions of being human - falling in love, getting heartbroken, yearning for connection with others, with spirit, with our true selves.

John Bews is most known in the Vancouver scene as the bassist with Tambura Rasa. A fantastically laid back guy, he plays exactly what is needed in each song and hits all the sweet notes. He is always in the pocket. I love the way he provides such a solid root throughout the songs.

Trevor Grant has recently joined Buckman and John to play the drums. John and him are already and established rhythm section, most notably playing together in Tambura Rasa. Trevor's dynamic and precise playing have allowed my live renditions of songs to take on epic proportions, and the swells of emotion to be oceanic.
