Indie-Folk is coming in hot, with Buck Meek set to take over Oxford Art Factory this March
Fresh off the back of Big Thief’s success, lead guitarist and singer-songwriter Buck Meek will make his way to Australia this March, bringing along his solo project and the layered, introspective world of his third album, Haunted Mountain.
With tickets dropping on Friday, November 1, fans can catch Meek’s gentle soul and gritty guitar work up close as he takes on the East Coast with his band.
On Haunted Mountain, Meek approaches the theme of love with a twist – not just heartbreak or romance, but a feeling that extends beyond the usual.
“Real love songs, not break-up ones, are hard to write,” he shares. “It’s like every great love song has already been sung.”
But he’s not daunted; Haunted Mountain feels like the kind of album that digs deep into the idea of home and love as places that we can leave and return to, echoing his journey across stunning and strange landscapes – from the snowy peaks of Portugal to the rugged beauty of California’s Santa Monica Mountains.
Back in 2022, Meek’s refined and expressive guitar playing captivated Australian fans when Big Thief toured.
This time, though, he’s coming into his own, sharing songs that meld delicate folk with flashes of country grit.
Alongside his own tour dates, he’ll join the iconic Cat Power at Festival Hall in Melbourne, adding yet another layer to the much-anticipated gig.
LA’s Germaine Dunes – known for her otherworldly, sci-fi-tinged lyrics and warm, immersive soundscapes – will open for Meek on all other dates, making it a unique bill for folk and indie fans alike.
