  • Twenty-Eight Year Old Buck Ford Is a Singing and Recording Country Music Sensation!!!!
    TWENTY-EIGHT YEAR OLD BUCK FORD IS A SINGING AND RECORDING COUNTRY MUSIC SENSATION!!!! Nashville recording artist Buck Ford is a young, pure country singing sensation that focuses on keeping the traditional country sound and rhythm flowing. Bucks influences consist of George Strait, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Keith Whiteley, just to name a few. Buck and his band pride themselves on the fact that their performances “bring back to life” the sound and feel of real old country music. Biography Buck began his story as a professional motocross racer, riding the circuit for over a decade. He received a full ride endorsement with a Honda team through the West Coast Super Cross Series in 2009. He placed his riding career on hold to pursue his love and passion for country music. Despite his dedication and talent in the professional motocross scene, his heart has always been in country music. His performances include his own written and composed music and covers songs from greats such as the likes of George Strait, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Keith Whitley, Craig Morgan, Wade Hayes, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Lawrence, Chris Young, Billy Currington, Hank Jr., Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Garth Brooks and many more. Buck has been successfully playing for over 7 years, and played with other fine musicians, such as The Time Jumpers, Vince Gill, Dawn Sears, Wade Hayes, James Mitchell, Mike Johnson, Brent Mason, Paul Franklin, Kevin Grant, Lonnie Wilson, Larry Franklin, and many other talented musicians throughout the West Coast, South West and Nashville regions. Buck has performed at fairs, festivals, rodeos, clubs, many private events, weddings, and parties.

Our conference committee has been working for months to ensure that you all have an opportunity to have an enjoyable and productive conference. We encourage you to take full advantage of all the conference has to offer by attending workshops and panels, mentoring sessions, jam sessions and showcases. I hope you will also get outside to relax and rejuvenate in the bucolic surroundings of Montreat. At Montreat we have the opportunity to dine together, so please use this as an opportunity to network and meet new friends. One of the best aspects of our friendly and intimate conference is that you will be able to meet all of the attendees at some time. We hope you will leave having made numerous new friends and acquaintances. We expect a number of first timers this year and look forward to helping you get the most out of our conference.
