Singer-songwriter and guitarist Brant Buckley embraces unvarnished sincerity on “Wedding Love,” a fingerstyle acoustic ballad anchored by intimate vocals and a live string quartet. Written as a personal tribute for his cousin’s wedding, the track pairs emotional clarity with tasteful, understated production.

Shaped under the ear of Roshi Sen at Gremlen Recording Studios, “Wedding Love” was recorded, mixed, and mastered with a subtle hand. Buckley notes that the track was tuned to 432hz: a frequency some believe aligns more naturally with the body and spirit. “I find this tuning to be lighter, brighter, and resonate more with the heart and soul,” he shares.

Buckley, who holds a songwriting degree from Berklee College of Music, sees “Wedding Love” as a turning point in his creative journey. “I’ve developed a new belief in myself and my craft,” he says. With aspirations to have the song picked up by a major artist, he’s actively putting it in front of key industry figures while leaning into the discipline of songwriting as both art and vocation.

As a contributing author for American Blues Scene, Buckley has published over 90 interviews and reviews, including conversations with George Thorogood, Grammy winner Dom Flemons, Bobby Rush, John Hammond, John Primer, Dick Waterman, and Walter Trout. With a background in software development from The College of DuPage, he also explores the intersection of code and creativity by interviewing computer programmers who are musicians.

Most recently, he’s authored Chicago Blues History: Preserving The Past, a photo expedition honoring 21 legendary Chicago blues artists. “You will travel through 11 cemeteries, and most of them are located southwest of Chicago,” he explains.
