Music:
I love to play music.  When I
am playing a song, it transports me to another place.  It's a way of saying
something that I wouldn't be able to voice otherwise.  It's soothing,
invigorating and inviting.  When I play something that moves a person to say to
me, "I love that song", that's the greatest reward there is.  I get to share joy
that money can't buy.  The music isn't about money.  Money is just a means by which to be able to bring
another show to people.  To pay for strings or repair an instrument or even to
buy a meal or fuel so I can play another show.  If it were possible to play
nonstop, all over the country and not make a dime, but would be able to keep
playing, I would do it in a heartbeat.  Economics just won't allow for that. 
The music feeds my soul.  I just love to play music.  That's all!


Buck

Brian "Buck" Ellard was born in a small town. His dad was a hard working, professional carpenter and his mom was a homemaker.  He started playing music on the violin at 11 years of age.  Just about the same time his little brother, Jeff, started calling him "Buck" and never stopped. 
Buck joined his first "real" band,  at the age of 15, playing fiddle in a 3 piece bluegrass band.  Once he had played on stage and got a taste of the energy that feeds back from the crowd, Buck was hooked and has been playing professionally ever since. 
Buck has been in over 100 bands over the years, from garage bands, belting out rock and roll, to full on touring bands, touring throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.  He has been in bands that opened for the legendary Hank Thompson, Hank III, David Allan Coe, Wayne (the train) Hancock and many others.  He has performed in shows onstage with Grammy Award winning, steel guitar master, Doug Jernigan,  Banjo wizard, Danny Barnes, Bill Bledsoe, Wayne Hancock, Bob Wayne and the list goes on.
Buck started working more on vocals and guitar to be able to bring a bit more of his own musical stylings to the listener.  
Buck is an accomplished songwriter, performing his originals along with cover tunes for his solo show, for which he is currently booking a tour.
Buck's show is a pleasant walk down memory lane with some brand new side streets along the way!
Buck's show is a must see!

Tara Martin Just got the C.D. and I am blown away by your voice, and the deepness of your songs. Thanks again, buddie.



Darrell Guenther I was totally impressed! Your mix of original music was in fact my favorite part of the show and thats saying a lot! Your particular mix from the likes of Roger Miller, Stones, Elvis, Buffet, Eagles, etc was as well done as i've seen! We had a blast! You MUST let us know when you are on our side of the water!
