Early life
[edit]Buckley was born and grew up in Calgary.[4] He uses the initial T., rather than his full given name, in his musical career because of American singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, to whom he is not related.
Career
[edit]Buckley released his first album of country music, Roll On, in 2011.[5]
In 2012 Buckley performed on CBC Radio Alberta as part of their celebration of the Centennial Calgary Stampede.[6] In 2013 Buckley performed at the Bow Valley Music Club Festival and contributed a song to the festival's annual compilation album, Look Out, Kansas City.[7] Buckley formed a band, the T. Buckley Trio, with steel guitarist Tim Leacock and upright bassist Derek Pulliam;[8] in 2013 the trio released an album, Northern Country Soul,[9][10] and the following year the three recorded another album, Nowhere Fast, in Banff.[11]
In 2014 Buckley was a finalist in the All-Alberta Songwriting Contest.[12] For a time he was a resident singer-songwriter at the Banff Centre.[13] In 2016 the T. Buckley Trio performed regularly in Calgary.[14][15]
In 2018 Buckley released his fifth album, Miles We Put Behind, which was recorded in Montreal at Howard Bilerman's hotel2tango recording studio.[16] He toured around Alberta in support of the album,[17] sometimes performing with his sister.[18]
In December 2022, Buckley and his sister released a cover The Tragically Hip's "Bobcaygeon" as a single.[19] The two have also continued to perform together as a duo at other times, performing a set that includes duet versions of their own songs as well as covers of material by other artists.[20]
