“How I long to see him and regret the dark hour;

He's gone and neglected his pale wildwood flower.”

When the Carter Family sang about a melancholy flower in the wildwood nearly one hundred years ago, little did they know that three generations later, another Carter songstress would personify its story. Anne Buckle is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music producer with original songs streamed millions of times. Her lyrical story-telling and haunting melodies channel her Appalachian roots, creating a uniquely original dark indie-Americana sound. She’s been called “a refreshing take on a legendary family" by the Nashville Music Guide and can be found in Nashville’s singer-songwriter circuit.

But who is she?

A Harvard graduate; former diplomat at the US Embassy in Paris; classically trained violinist with a master’s degree in arts education; self-taught on nearly a dozen other musical instruments; a Georgia native who now calls Music City home, who spent three years creating the Tennessee Promise program with Governor Haslam. But, this daughter of two school teachers left that life of stability behind, instead choosing to chase her dreams down an uncertain path - one full of doubt and heartbreak, freedom and possibility.

Her new album WILDWOOD will be out on vinyl in summer 2024, alongside her debut children’s book, Firefly, inspired by the eponymous song.
