Buck Meek is a folk musician best known as the guitarist and backing vocalist of Big Thief. Born and raised in Wimberly, Texas, Buck was introduced to the guitar during his youth. His teen years were spent playing blues, manouche jazz, and western swing in bars and dance halls across the state.

After moving to Brooklyn, he self-released two EPs as a solo artist: "Live from a Volcano" (2013) and "Heart Was Beat" (2015). In the meantime, he connected with Adrianne Lenker, who he performed with as a duo before forming the band Big Thief.

In May 2018, Buck released his debut album through Keeled Scales. Later that year, he relocated to Los Angeles where he wrote most of the material for his next record. His second solo LP, "Two Saviors," was released in January of 2020.

Two Saviors is Buck Meek’s second album, following 2018’s self-titled LP also released on Keeled Scales and currently on its third pressing. The Big Thief lead guitarist worked with producer and engineer Andrew Sarlo on this album (who’s produced all four of Big Thief albums, as well as co-producing Bon Iver’s i,i ). Andrew agreed to record it only if it was made under his conditions-- that they make the album in New Orleans during the hottest part of the year, spend no more than seven days tracking live, on an 8-track tape machine, with only dynamic microphones and no headphones, and not allowing the players to hear back any of the takes until the final day.
