149. – Buck Meek

Buck Meek is a musician in one of our favorite bands Big Thief, and his solo record Two Saviors is out now. He’s from Texas and is currently living in Los Angeles. We chat about living in Topanga Canyon, being a disciple of Jonathan Gold, trying to get NOFX to sign his 6 string bass, being in a 3rd wave ska band that toured on bicycles and played nudist festivals, night surfing, why Texas is a little slice of heaven on earth, an 18-day campfire music festival which Buck has attended every year since he was 15, setting the intention of never compromising his music no matter what, how Big Thief writes their songs, their inspiring effortlessness, why playing smaller shows is more emotionally taxing than festivals and the importance of always making music for yourself above all.
