Buck Curran (born May 23, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter-guitarist, record producer, painter and guitar maker.

Biography

Curran formed the psych-folk duo Arborea in 2005 with partner Shanti Deschaine, with whom he recorded five albums and toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe between 2006 and 2015. Curran's music is associated with the Psychedelic Folk and Indie Folk genres, though his primary focus was on performing traditional and original Blues and Folk music in the 1990s.

In 2009 he produced the benefit compilation Leaves of Life (2009),[1] which included notable artists Devendra Benhart, Marissa Nadler, Alela Diane, etc. Curran also contributed to the renewal of interest in Robbie Basho producing two tribute albums, We Are All One in the Sun (2010)[2] and Basket Full of Dragons (2016).[3]

In the Winter of 2011/2012 The Fretboard Journal published a feature article on Robbie Basho (Voice of the Eagle) written by Curran for Issue 24.

In July 2016 he released his first solo record, Immortal Light,[4] a split release between ESP-Disk and Obsolete Recordings.

Curran is also an artist and painted the cover for Basket Full of Dragons. In July, 2014 his paintings were part of a special exhibition in Denmark at the Fano Free Folk Festival, during which he also presented a special discussion on his spontaneous brushstroke technique using watercolors and improvisation in art. In 2017 his paintings were exhibited in Bergamo, Italy in December 2017 at InArteWerkkunst Gallery during the NOWART Exhibition. As well, he is a notable guitar maker who worked from 2002 to 2009 for renown Maine luthier Dana Bourgeois, where he developed his own guitar model called Butterfly.[5] his prototype for the Butterfly was included (alongside other notable luthiers from Maine: Dana Bourgeois, John Slobod, etc.) in the 'Player's Art': Guitar Exhibition at the Colby College Museum of Art May 7 thru July 17, 2005. Acoustic Guitar Magazine featured one of Curran's Butterfly guitars (made in 2006) for their 'Great Acoustics' article in the March 2012 issue.

His acoustic and electric guitar playing is characterized by the extensive use of low alternate tunings, slide, Ebow, reverb,[6] manipulating string overtones and dynamics creating haunting voice-like timbres on the instrument.
