Robbie Basho

Acclaimed guitarist and song writer Buck Curran has released ‘ILiad (Slight Return)’, the expansive second single from his ninth album, Far Driven Sun, out August 29th via Obsolete Recordings. The album is an elemental return to Curran’s musical roots, inspired by his reunion with a rare 1990 Stefan Sobell ‘Butterfly’ guitar. He will also be performing at a special Robbie Basho celebration in London, alongside Gemma Khawaja and Toby Hay.
