\"\"<\/a><\/strong>After spending a couple years working hard on his songwriting, Chris Buck has emerged in the past year with new songs, a new label, a new publishing deal, and a new perspective. \u201cWow, we\u2019re finally at the release of my third album!\u201d<\/em> says Chris Buck. \u201cWhat an adventure to put together! I recorded it during the pandemic, both at Al Capone\u2019s former residence; Castle Studios in Tennessee, and in my home province of BC. It was an honor working with hit producers Jeremy Stover, Julian King, Dan Swinimer, Jeff Johnson, JUNO-nominated mixer Jay Dufour, and to write the songs with some of the best in the world at Red Creative\/Anthem Entertainment. I can\u2019t wait for them to be heard.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen really positive growth for Chris in over the last year, and as a new label we couldn\u2019t be happier with the progress to date,\u201d<\/em> says Joelle May, Director of Promotions & Artist Services at Sakamoto Music, \u201cFor the label\u2019s first full length album release, we are so happy it\u2019s with Buck!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The video for his current single just released earlier this year, \u201cShe Gone\u201d<\/a>, reached nearly 96,000 views in it\u2019s first two weeks live,<\/strong> and is continuing to climb in streams, fast becoming Chris\u2019 most popular song. His growth over the last year sees a 40% increase in average monthly listeners across platforms, proving Chris Buck is back!<\/p>\n

\u2018Answers\u2019 represents Buck\u2019s growth as a songwriter, finding his stride and settling into his voice, though it\u2019s only the beginning of what\u2019s to come. Chris continues to actively write songs in Nashville through his publishing deal with Anthem Entertainment, and returns to Canada this spring to play shows and tour radio across the country. Upcoming dates are announced at www.chrisbuckband.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
