Sam Buckingham has begun to push the singer/songwriter boundaries to deliver an exciting new banquet of sweet pop musings and catchy folk hooks. So far, 2011 has seen her tour nationally in her fans living rooms and backyards, lullaby punters in the bars & streets of London, Paris and Berlin, captivate audiences at the Tamworth Country Music and National Folk Festivals and wow some serious Oz music fans whilst touring alongside musical counterpart Megan Washington. All this has followed a tumultuous 6 years cutting her teeth in Sydney's underground scene, learning the ropes and where she might fit in, in the noise of todays bulging folk/pop scene. Compared to the likes of Joan Baez, Jewel and Feist, Buckingham has never managed to find a pigeonhole that completely fits, preferring instead to take each song on it's own merits and do what she wants with it, no matter what sound she may end up with in the end. Each of her three independent offerings, Daydreamer (LP 2005), My Own Horse (EP 2008), Gravity (EP 2009) saw Buckingham embark on national tours, gain the ever coveted national airplay on Triple j and countless community radio stations and tour alongside artists as renowned and diverse as Lior, Angus & Julia Stone, Jordie Lane and iOTA. She's also been finalist in the International Songwriting Competition & Music Oz Awards three years running and has been praised for her songwriting by the likes of Kasey Chambers, Bic Runga and Tim Freedman. 6 years of independent releases, national tours and the strange beauty...
