The following is taken form the Buckerettes website:
Meet the sassy cowgirls of The Buckerettes, Robin Cape, bass and vocals, Deb Criss, guitar and vocals and Roberta Greenspan, Fiddle and vocals. This Asheville, NC trio has been inspiring listeners and dancers throughout the region. But don’t let their name and honky-tonking, foot-stomping vibe fool you, sultry harmonies and lilting instrumentation characterize The Buckerettes’ sound, infused with the strong traditionalism of the Blue Ridge Mountains, they call home
Outside of instrumentation, the Buckerettes offer their harmonies with dexterity and grace. In a live setting, the gals have been known to drop their instruments entirely and offer up sweetly blended acapella compositions that are at once inspiring and a joy to listen to. These gals; composers, musicians, entertainers and skilled stylists of musical favorites, have built a following that resonate with their authentic and passionate performances.
Whether it’s a private party of event, concert or festival, a Buckerette show is laughter, energy and presence. It’s more than a musical experience, its about the love these women have for their instruments and for their voices woven together. It’s about the songs and stories that connect them with those in the audience who have come to listen, to dance or to just simply be with them in their joy of making music. Their music is rooted in a love of this world, its mysteries and inspirations and a clear sense of the positive path one can walk in relationship to it all.
The Buckerettes’ debut album, Live and unfenced, explores a wide range of musical ground. Rooted in strong accomplished songwriting, The Buckerettes’ simple but lush instrumentation is anchored firmly by Robin Cape’s solid bass lines. Deb Criss decorates the space between with her solid rhythm and surprise delicate solo guitar work and Roberta Greenspan provides energetic peaks and curves with her virtuoso fiddling. Their treatment of traditional tunes like Milkshake Mama and Cool Water are subtly unique but will certainly appeal to those who grew up hearing them, while the bands original songs will become glued in your head for days.
Spend a little time with the Buckerettes and you’ll walk away inspired…to dance, to engage with life and to have MORE FUN….That’s why they play together and why folks keep calling them back for more
