Originally from Barraganyatti, on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Sam Buckley has lived in Sydney and Melbourne for the last 16 years performing in high-level bands. He toured nationally, internationally and performed at many music festivals in Australia. In recent years he performed in Dreamboogie, who were a highly polished and dynamic live Blues band, led by charismatic singer Rebecca Davey. The band’s innovative sound incorporating electronic loops resulted in wins at the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society’s Blues Performer of the Year Challenge in 2016 and Band of the Year at the 2018 Victorian-Tasmanian Blues Awards.
