Backstory:

Only Bucket is a band that was formed in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. The three-member band comprising of childhood friends, Jesse (Vocals and Guitar), Mick (Drums) and Kate (Bass and Vocals), found their shared love for music in their grandparents’ barn, where they composed their first melodies using an old guitar, a homemade drum kit, and a rusty bucket to create percussive sounds. The name ‘Only Bucket’ was born out of this humble beginning and the trio has stuck with it ever since.

The band spent their teenage years refining their style and writing relatable, heartening songs that spoke of their experiences growing up in the countryside. They earned a local fan base performing at small gigs and community festivals. Their unique blend of rootsy, honest lyrics and raw, energetic performances quickly grabbed the attention of a notable record label, propelling their local band status into the mainstream music scene.

“Dust & Dreams”

Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
[G] Underneath the [C] willow tree, [D] stray cat and you and [G] me
[G] We found a world in an [C] old tin can, [D] full of dust and [G] dreams
[G] Heart beats to an [C] old time song, [D] we knew we’re where we [G] belong
[G] Just a guitar, a [C] drum, and a [D] rusty old [G] can

Chorus:
[C] Only bucket under the [G] moonlight, [D] we found music in the [G] twilight
[C] Strumming chords and beating [G] time, [D] with the rhythm of the [G] pines
[C] Here’s to the dust and the [G] dreams, [D] reality’s not what it [G] seems
[C] With a guitar, a [G] drum, and a [D] rusty old [G] can

Verse 2:
[G] Echoes of the [C] songs we played, [D] memories that never [G] fade
[G] We found hope in a [C] world gone mad, [D] making music from what [G] we had
[G] Laughing, living, [C] chasing suns, [D] we knew our journey [G] had just begun
[G] With a guitar, a [C] drum, and a [D] rusty old [G] can

(Repeat Chorus)
