Buck 65 is announcing his first overseas tour since he began hosting his critically acclaimed radio show, including stops in Ireland, London, Paris and Belgium. Rich Terfry, aka Buck 65, has continued to build his profile as one of Canada's finest public personalities by co-creating and hosting Drive, Canada's premiere national music program on CBC Radio 2 (the Canadian equivalent to the BBC).

They feature a slough of friends and contemporaries from the independent music scene and are available for free download right from Buck 65.
Buck will begin work on his next full-length album for Warner Music this coming summer, with a 2010 release expected. He plans to reunite with longtime collaborators Graeme Campbell and Charles Austin, who co-produced Talkin' Honky Blues, Buck 65's 2003 breakthrough album.
