Biography

Mick Buckley has been writing, recording and performing across Australia and the U.S.A. for many years.
His songs have charted on Radio and Television and achieved Gold Record, CD and DVD sales.

With a huge catalogue of recordings and film clips Mick plays gigs from Parties and Quaint venues to Massive Festivals and Corporate Functions providing a thoroughly entertaining show.

 

At just 7 years of age, while learning piano, Mick’s father and uncles said “get that left hand moving” directing him to the Honky Tonk and Stride Piano styles. This style of playing has stuck with Mick and he has mastered it very well but that's not all. Mixed with, among others, Banjo Paterson and William Blake-style poetry, Mick sure has some interesting ingredients for song writing and this talent has certainly become an important part of his music career.

The multi talented Mick Buckley (Bucko) first found fame as the rockin' drummer for the Radiators, but then returned to his childhood roots and reinvented himself as a swingin', honky tonk piano man and successfully conquered the U.S. Touring, Writing and Recording & playing residencies in places like Bourbon St. New Orleans, Nashville Tennessee and capping it off by firing up for Smokey Robinson at the Common Ground Music Festival in Lansing Michigan.

After touring the USA, Mick returned home to Australia and called on some old mates from Noiseworks, The Radiators, Ted Mulry, The Buddy Holly Show and The Patsy Cline Show to form The Yeehaa Boys. Mick has since moved on to continue with what he loves to do best - his piano show and writing songs. There is currently a lot of interest in Mick's music for Artists Releases, Movies and Advertising. A performer like Mick Buckley is often called upon to perform at larger venues, concerts and other special events like the Gympie Muster, The Wintersun Festival, and The Tamworth Country Music Festival and so once again he has assembled another band called The Road Side Attractions consisting of top quality hand picked musicians to handle these bigger gigs.

Some of the bands that Mick has played in and written songs for are:
The Radiators, Mud Crab Boogie, The Yee Haa Boys, Hi Home I'm Honey, Los Garbos, Harlem Shuffle, Hughie & The Swing Thing , Rupert B, Richard Wilkins Band, The Swing, Top Shelf Shuffle to name just a few...

He has also appeared on TV shows such as:
The Country Music Channel, Hey Hey It's Saturday, The Kerry Anne Show, Rage, MAX and MTV.

Mick is simply a great, fun entertainer, in the true sense of the statement and he has the history to prove it.
You can't go wrong booking him for a show of any size, great entertainment and a good fun time is guaranteed.
