Details:
Hailing from Austin's city limits, this native Texan has been compared to the likes of Springsteen and Lyle Lovett.
Based in Los Angeles, Buckeleven blends catchy rock and toe-tappin' country into well crafted, heartfelt songs that overflow with pop sensibility. Buckeleven blurs the lines of cynicism and hope. Penned by veteran singer/songwriter Greg Upton and backed by a rock solid group of seasoned southland musicians, Buckeleven's extensive collection of "Americana" tunes have received rave reviews from L.A. Weekly, Music Connection, Rock City News, and countless other E'zines.

Their music has received radio airplay in parts of Europe. Karen Miller, of Spyda Radio, which is an affiliate of the BBC, picked the track, "Hang the Moon," as #2 song of the year 2001.

This album evokes hope, humor, and heartache with a bluesy edge and rootsy attitude that lends itself to an often witty lyrical approach. There is a wide range of influence here, with textured sounds of pedal steel, organ, and piano over some crafty guitar work and a rock solid rhythm section. This all creates a record that is well-balanced and very listener friendly.

With 15+ years of live performances in parts of California, Colorado, Texas and Tennessee, Buckeleven have poised themselves among the elite of independent artists who hustle and share an unstoppable quest to produce contagious songs and play entertaining shows.
