2 YR WAMI NOMINATED FOR BEST ENTERTAINER FOR N E WI AND BEST MALE VOCALIST
FINALIST FOR SONG OF YR 2023
BUCK SHOT is a musical troubadour experience located in Manitowoc WI Who relies on "fantastic vocals, excellent music selection and crowd interaction" playing older country (Waylon, Willie and the boys), classic Rock, Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Simon and Grafunkel (to name a few ) and original music (from Buck's 4 albums).. Buck has been performing since 1975, and shared the stage with many national artists!!! Always repeat performances... this is due in part to his following in selected areas, and his ability to always keep things fresh.... AND Bartenders Busy and Owners Happy!!!

September 11, 2022Buck Shot (aka Steve) was terrific! The crowd loved his music-not only was the music entertaining but the stories and conversations were engaging and charming. We could not be happier with his performance and presence in our venue. Many thanks Buck Shot, we look forward to next year's booking!

September 10, 2022Buck Shot was a delight to have perform at the Franciscan Center for Music Education and Performance! The audience enjoyed each song he selected. A very skilled guitarist and was an one man show with great stories in between songs! A very talented man with a big heart! We will be having Buck Shot back.

March 30, 2022Steve is a genuinely amazing human being who shared his musical talents with us for a cancer benefit for a family friend after our originally booked entertainment had to cancel. He created the perfect atmosphere for our event that had attendees across a range of ages and helped make our benefit a huge success. We can not thank him enough for his kindness and generosity. We are so grateful that our paths crossed and will not hesitate to contact him again for any future events. It is a rarity these days to find such a kind and gentle soul like Steve who cares so deeply. I don't feel like I booked an artist -- I feel like I made a friend. God bless you, Steve!

A GREAT TIME!!!!
You are getting an entertainer that cares about his music, his performance, his audience and most of all, the people who hired him...
You are getting a professional musician!!!
The main goal for each performance is to get the crowd into the music, and the story telling as well as having a good time, and keeping the bartenders busy!!!
This is accomplished by performing a wide variety of music Focusing on Strong Vocals and Harmonies...
Music that most people remember and can sing along with... Sometimes even participate... and always asking for requests.. to expand the musical repertoire for the audience! So whether you are having an intimate gathering or a large event… Don’t forget to bring along a good crowd pleaser with live music!!! Bring along Buck Shot!
BUCK SHOT is a musical troubadour experience located in Manitowoc Wisconsin relying heavily on "fantastic vocals, excellent music selection and crowd interaction" (Mike's Bar and Grill) playing older country (Waylon, Willie and the boys), classic Rock, Simon and Grafunkel (to name a few genres) and original music (from Buck's 2 albums).. Buck has been your troubadour since 1975, and sharing the stage with many national artists!!! One look at Buck's schedule, and you will see many repeat performances… this is due in part to his following in selected areas, and his ability to always keep things fresh….
Set up is simple for a poet and a one man band... I am pretty much all self contained, however, I like to arrive about 2 hours early, to ensure that I am set up, and ready to go on time.. this allows for things that are not planned.
Equipment Used by Buck Shot.. Bose S1 Pro for most locations, for large venues, a Bose L1 System is used…, Mackie Pro FX8, FX4. mixer. Beat Buddy percussion, TC Helicon Harmonizer, Route 66 Compressor, DR Strings, d'addario Strings, American Made Gibson, Ovation Custom 6 String guitars, and Ovation Baladeere 12 string, Shure SM58 Microphone with Atlas Mic Stand, and of course, the wooden stool – lol
