Michael Hornbuckle Band

Michael Hornbuckle has been bringing blues and rock music to people for 18 years. Homegrown in the Mile High City, as was his father, legendary bluesman Bobby Hornbuckle who had Michael backing him on drums at 12 years old. While Bobby's journey ended in 96', Michael took over the torch. Michael inherited Bobby's old gibson 335. Some say a piece of Bobby's soul, and ability to play guitar were transmitted. Michael's quick to point out however: "The truth is, I spent all my time playing guitar cuz I loved to play. I don't know about all that other spooky stuff, but who knows" Nevertheless it was a quick transition. His 1st release in 98' "Pass The Torch" was a raw and respected blues/rock album including; original cuts, covers such as Creams' version of Outside Woman Blues, and a tip of the hat to the man who passed on his love for blues, with a Bobby Hornbuckle original, Down In The Valley. Early 2000’s after a Red Rocks appearance warming up the Doobie Brothers, he spent time touring the country with Texas blues monster Vince Converse, and releasing the acoustic blues album Conbuckle Station "Here Come The Blues" on New Shoes Records. Michael continued to make more appearances at Red Rocks, McNichols Arena (for the very last rock concert there with Z.Z Top) The Pepsi Center (for their first rock concert) and Fiddlers Green Ampitheatre for shows like the B.B King Blues Fest. Michael released "Lost & Found By Trial & Error", in 05', and took it as an opportunity to evolve a songwriting ability, as well as a vocal and guitar sound that has become the reason for the buzz. In 2012, Michael was in L.A. recording the critically acclaimed album, Virtue & Vice with world class producer Alex 'Ace' Baker and brother Brian Hornbuckle.
