Releasing her 2017 album The Water, singer-songwriter sweetheart Sam Buckingham distilled an ambitious pilgrimage to Latin America into a stunning collection of songs that confront fear, convey heartache and celebrate adventure, desire and devotion.Supported by MATCH Partnerships Australia and a successful crowdfunding campaign, Buckingham raised funds to record the album and take her band on the road to support it’s release. Touring consistently since the album’s first single dropped in February 2017, Buckingham has been keeping busy opening for Kasey Chambers, James Reyne, Jordie Lane and Diesel, showcasing at Nashville’s renowned Americanafest and embarking on three sold out national solo tours of her own. After 2 years of touring solo, Buckingham is finally hitting the road February 2019 with her studio band on the national Hammer & Love Tour.
