BLENDING THE WORLDS OF FOLK, SOUL, AND REGGAE, BUCKMAN COE IS A PASSIONATE BELIEVER IN THE POWER OF MUSIC TO BUILD BRIDGES BETWEEN PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES. HIS SUN-KISSED FOLK-ROCK; GOSPEL-TINGED SOUL; INTOXICATING WORLD-BEAT MELODIES, AND A DECIDEDLY WEST COAST PSYCHEDELIC POP SENSIBILITY ALL PLAY A PART IN PROVIDING THE SONIC PLATFORM FOR COE’S SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS LYRICS.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE PERFORMANCES AT VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL, SALMON ARM ROOTS & BLUES, STARBELLY JAM, OREGON COUNTRY FAIR, ARTSWELLS FESTIVAL, EDGE OF THE WORLD, CALGARY REGGAE FESTIVAL, KOMASKET FESTIVAL, AND SEVERAL CROSS-CANADA & WEST COAST TOURS. BUCKMAN COE HAS ALSO BEEN VOTED BEST BAND IN VANCOUVER'S WESTENDER AND SECOND BEST INDEPENDENT ACT IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT.

BUCKMAN IS AN ENGAGED SOCIAL CITIZEN USING HIS MUSIC AND HIS STANDING IN THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT CAUSES IMPORTANT TO HIM. HE HAS PARTNERED WITH NUMEROUS ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS RAINCOAST CONSERVATION, GREENPEACE, FOREST ETHICS, AND DOGWOOD INITIATIVE. HE HAS ALSO BEGUN WORKING AS A MUSICIAN AND MENTOR WITH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS TEEN JOURNEY, YOUTH FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE NOW, AND SOON WILL BE ENGAGING WITH THE SARAH MCCLAUGHLIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC.

CURRENTLY, BUCKMAN IS RECORDING HIS FOURTH ALBUM ‘PRECESSION’, WITH ADHAM SHAIKH AND JASON KECHELY FOR RELEASE IN THE FALL OF 2014. THIS FOLLOW UP TO THE CROW'S NEST E.P. AND BY THE MOUNTAIN'S FEET CONTINUES BUCKMAN'S INNOVATIVE EXPLORATIONS OF GENRES. WHILE HIS MUSIC IS COMPARED TO FOLKS SUCH AS MICHAEL FRANTI, BEN HARPER AND JEFF BUCKLEY, AND INFORMED BY THE SPIRITS OF BOB MARLEY, MARVIN GAYE AND JOHN LENNON; BUCKMAN COE IS A FORCE OF POSITIVE INSPIRATION IN HIS OWN RIGHT, USING HIS VOICE TO BRING BEAUTY AND OPTIMISM INTO THE WORLD.
