Brant Buckley, the creator of Xmas Pop-Up Bars, is a songwriter, guitarist, author and Berklee College of Music graduate.
"Wedding Love" is Brant Buckley's newest acoustic ballad - a heartfelt, intimate song, featuring fingerstyle guitar, warm vocals, and a live string quartet. Written as a deeply personal gift for his cousin's wedding, Brant performed the song live during her ceremony at the Boulder Country Club in Colorado, where it became a defining emotional moment. Recorded in 432hz, a tuning that resonates deeply with the heart and soul, "Wedding Love" carries a calming, connective energy that listeners instantly feel. The song has received national attention, earning airplay on 34 radio stations across the U.S. and becoming Brant's debut entry on the Americana Music Association (AMA) charts. The song is ideal for wedding ceremonies, first dances, bridal showers, and romantic playlists. If you are an artist interested in covering this song, please contact Brant below.
In addition, Brant has over 16 years of experience teaching guitar to students aged 7-84. His lessons focus on real musical application, creativity, and personalized instruction. Specializing in Blues, Folk, Jazz, Pop, and Songwriting, Brant offers engaging online guitar lessons via Zoom for students at any skill level.
Brant is also the author of Chicago Blues History: Preserving The Past, a book dedicated to honoring the greatest Blues musicians. His work celebrates music, storytelling, and cultural heritage - the same passion that drives the creation of Xmas Pop-Up Bars.
