Returning with his band for the first time since Summer 2023, having toured extensively across North America, East Asia and Australia, Meek brings his compelling live show to UK and European venues, including London’s EartH Theatre on 20 March 2026.

Meek released his stunning third solo album, Haunted Mountain, in August 2023. The album featured songs co-written with one of Buck’s long-time musical heroes Jolie Holland and gained universal acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Uncut, MOJO and more

Praise for Haunted Mountain

The songs are wonderfully non-toxic, obsessed in only the best possible way, a refreshing take on country love and lust.” — MOJO ****
 
“An expansive, full-sounding presentation, a resounding and confident tone that matches these optimistic and often unfiltered emotions.” — Uncut 8/10

“Relayed in impressionistic romantic imagery, it makes for an enveloping affair shot through with shards of gnarled desert rock.” — The Times ****

“Another brilliant release from one of the most boundary-pushing singular six stringers of the century so far… an eclectic and engrossing collection of sonic wonder.” — NARC *****
 
“A masterful achievement…Meek’s vocals have always been quality, but on this release he has truly reached another level.” — The Skinny’s Album of the Month ***** 

Following his youth in Wimberley, TX, playing blues, manouche jazz, and western swing in bars and dance halls across the state, Buck moved to Brooklyn and released two solo EPs, Live from a Volcano (2013), and Heart Was Beat (2015). Concurrently, he met songwriter Adrianne Lenker in 2012, and after a year of fervent collaboration, they recorded two EPs, A-sides and B-sides (2014), then from there expanded into a four-piece, Big Thief, with Max Oleartchik and James Krivchenia, and have since released four records, Masterpiece (2016), Capacity (2017), UFOF (2019), Two Hands (2019), Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (2022) and Double Infinity (2025). In 2018, Meek released his self-titled solo debut on Austin-based label Keeled Scales–a kaleidoscope of blue-collar fairytales that illuminate mysticism in the temporal, humor unearthed in tragedy, and the strength of vulnerability. Later that year he moved to the mountains north of Los Angeles, where he wrote many of the songs that became Two Saviors (2021). Featuring the same group of longtime collaborators, Two Saviors emerged as a cathartic, naked confession of heartbreak, resiliency, and enchantment.  Meek’s most recent LP, Haunted Mountain (2023) marked his first release with 4AD. The songs were written in mountains–by cold springs in the Serra da Estrela of Portugal on the submerged volcano of Milos in the Cyclades, Valle Onsernone in the Swiss Alps, and the Santa Monica range where Buck now calls home. Haunted Mountain is about love and…something other. Something bigger than love, something that doesn’t challenge love exactly but stands in contrast to it. A soulfulness, or a soul seeking fullness. Buck Meek believes that all of the great love songs have not been written yet. In between the lines of Haunted Mountain, we hear that love, in every form, is the creation of home, from within–forever leaving one to find another.
