Buck 65 Tickets

BUCK65 IN CONCERT:

Canadian hip hop artist Buck 65 has been blurring the lines between genres for more than two decades with his ever-evolving sound. From his early experimental outings to his more recent folk and blues-tinged work, Buck 65 has remained a compelling and passionate performer, as beloved for his live shows as he is for lyrically dense tracks like "The Centaur" and "Sebutone Def". With his 14th album dropping in 2014, the eclectic two-time Juno winner has fans eagerly awaiting his next round of tour dates.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Nova Scotia-born Buck 65, a.k.a. Richard Terfry, discovered hip hop in his early teens when he climbed a tree in his backyard to intercept the fledgling signal of a local college radio station. After teaching himself to rap, DJ, and produce tracks, he began hosting his own show on that same college station while releasing material on a variety of small independent labels. He began to gain serious traction in 1996 with the albums Weirdo Magnet and Vertex, but it was the release of Man Overboard in 2001 that really put him on the map as one of avant-garde hip hop's brightest young talents. In the mid-'00s Buck's sound veered from traditional hip hop towards the folk and electronica-oriented sound heard on 2003's Talkin' Honky Blues, which won a Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year. A self-assured and disarmingly charming performer, Buck continues to impress on his must-see tours.
