"It can be tough to outrun the choices we make," says singer-songwriter T. Buckley about his first new song since his 2018 album 'Miles We Put Behind.' The Canadian Folk Music award nominated Buckley penned "Before I Get to Turn Around" after receiving a late-night phone call from an old friend who was driving to a new town to start over. He was just one of a number of young men from Buckley’s childhood community in south Calgary who had found themselves caught up in drug trafficking or victims of overdose. The song highlights T. Buckley’s strength: the ability to observe and empathize with different life experiences, then craft relatable songs that have earned him nine weeks in the national CBC Top 20 radio chart, three Calgary Music Awards and showcases at Kerrville Folk Festival, three Folk Alliance regional conferences and at the Americana Music Festival in 2019.
"How far do I have to run, to leave behind the things I've done," T. Buckley sings over a powerful roots/rock melody that's as at home on mainstream radio as it is on folk-roots shows. It definitively shows T. Buckley need not be running from anything, because with this new material he’s committed to being a fixture in the Americana music scene.
