I'm a radio host in Dallas and I played your band on air. The amount of request I've had since has been insane. A great song can be something beautiful.
@christophervincent8420 every Friday night 8pm to 10pm on KNONNOW. I host Modern Blues Sounds, but I do my best to add variety, my personality, and hopefully introduce new artists to a new audience.
You and the band had several 3.5 hour drives. If it adds anything, my girlfriend and I drove - you guessed it - 3.5 hours to the Troubadour show last night (and back). It's a big place, this thing we call the US. Loved the show, band killed it. We were just off your right shoulder a couple people back from the stage. Hope your rise continues and we'll see you the next time around.
@@alexo5861 good call! Traffic is a b*tch in LA. Actually, we're in Paso Robles, which is 3.5 hours without traffic. Our journey down actually took 7 hours between traffic and two other stops, and almost 4 hours to get back home as we hit traffic going up 5 through the grapevine. This, at 11pm at night....
Here's a cool story for ya, I flew to nashville on my own to go to the show, have a friend who lives there so I spent the weekend in the city waiting for monday. My entire life I've been looking for the right ES-355. I've played hundreds of them and never found one that I had to have or one that wasn't $10,000. Well I went to Carter Vintage where you guys did the acoustic session and finally found the correct ES. and it might be one of the red ones behind you. I can't tell. Either way. I finally have my bucketlist guitar, and my friend and I loved the show Monday, he had never heard of you guys but he was blown away and is now a fan. Hope to catch you guys in the states again somewhere.
I am just so pleased for Cardinal Black! The cheers for Chris’s playing bought tears to my eyes too! He is a player I really admire. I hope they get the chance to tour more in the US. This band deserves to be massive! 👊🏻🖤🖤🖤
Welcome to the USA Chris Buck, and Cardinal Black. I looked up "Cardinal Black on Wikipedia it said. "Cardinal Black- The greatest band that has happened since Oasis".👍👍👍👍👍👍
The show in Nashville was simply incredible - Cardinal Black was even better than I hoped it would be. Easily the best concert I have attended in at least a decade.
You're really an octopus, Mr. Buck. Juggling so many things (4 concerts, interviews, creating content for the socials, etc.) and still able to provide an episode of Friday Fretworks. Thank you for uploading and sharing your journey. CB has gone through the eye of the needle to get to the U.S. Due to CB's tenacity and support from people who believe in you, the goal came to fruition. I'm very happy for you all and wish CB nothing but the best 😁✨
I was there last night at the Troubadour, absolutely incredible. We came from Redlands and got home at 1AM. Met Chris and Tom, they both could not have been nicer and more gracious. Thank you to everyone in CB for such a great show! If you guys come back this way, we'll be there.
We loved this show so much! Thanks for coming to the US and please come back soon. I enjoyed watching from the front row. I figure the next time you come the venues will be larger, so I'll have to watch from a greater distance. But I promise you, I'll be there!
Beautiful soloing, fantastic tension and releas, real emotion right there, a masterclass in how to do it right. Come to Oz, do Bluesfest, I'll come just to see you guys.
Great Show in Nashville. We are all so pleased that you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to edit and post this one. Apologies for the HEAT. Looking forward to your Troubadour review.
Upwards and onwards, Chris & CB!! Enjoy your time there, and make the absolute most of it 😎👍 I'm definitely looking forward to album no2 (not counting the EP - which is also excellent by the way 😜) and hopefully we'll catch you guys and girl again when you're playing in the Netherlands!!! 👍
Delighted for your continuing rise Chris. It doesn’t surprise me that our cousins across The Pond have welcomed you with open arms as they too know the real deal when they see it. You and the band totally deserve it.
The Nashville show was so incredible. Traveled from Colorado with so much anticipation. A night I will never forget. Looking forward to seeing you at Red Rocks next year!? Fingers crossed!
I am so happy for you! After following you for a number of years on RUclips I was convinced that you would, one day, hit the big time. Success in Nashville looks like a huge step in the right direction. I wish you all the best for the rest of the tour. You deserve all the praise and credit that you and the band are sure to get.
Congratulations Chris and Cardinal Black. Looking forward to you returning to the US and hopefully playing some Northeast US shows (Boston, NY, ...). Count on me to buy a ticket.
It’s great you could see the country from an automobile because it gives you a little bit of a feel of how huge this country is even traveling at 70 miles an hour. It takes a long time from place to place.
Congrats on your USA tour successes! You totally deserve it with all the hard work you’ve put it. 👏 Oh, and I’m glad you’re sticking with the long pants on stage. Leave the shorts to the reggae bands. 😉
So wonderful to see y'all having such a blast here in the states. Congratulations on so many sold out shows and clearly satisfied customers! Y'all are killing it, and that's just great to see because you've obviously been working your tails off and audiences can hear that sort of thing and respond accordingly. Cheers!
Incredible show in LA! My expectations were high and yet the show was even better than I could've hoped for, a fantastic performance and energy from the whole band on stage, beautiful stuff.
Loved the show in Nashville!! Drove 6 hours and consider it totally worth it. A tight, professional set from a well rooted, creative, talented lineup. There are no weak links in Cardinal Black or the supporting talent. Next US tour will be bigger. We were all excited about your online presence. Promoters and industry folks now know how good you really are. You are headed for the next level. Can’t wait for the new album!
You lit up LA like the brilliant Buck moon, Chris! So glad that i flew 8150 miles to experience Cardinall Black! Tom Hollister had an amazing soulful voice. Ripped my heart wide open and mended my soul! America needed this immense inspiration, vibe & feel. Congrats on all your well deserved success! Thank you for the magic of your music! Can't wait for a world tour & your return to the US. Happy & safe travels.
Chris you are putting in an incredible amount of work, between the ambitious tour itself, all the additional media appearances, and probably still editing these episodes yourself! (In a senior editor btw, if you ever need one) Good stuff all around! Y’all have earned it, no doubt. 👏👏👏
Soon be flying to each gig and a convoy of lorries lugging the gear well done all and good luck to you Chris you deserve it all I know your really looking forward to the big ''T''
I played the Troubador once decades ago. The headliner act, aptly named "Third world war" (singer wore a purple sparkly whole body spandex thingy.. ugh, and had hair extensions all the way to the floor). When my band played, everything sucked. No monitor, I could only hear the drums and bass, and it was starting to really get on my nerve, what is the sound guy doing?!. Then my bass player playing some stage antics wrapped his arm around me as I was singing. The spark jumped several inches to my lips! It was an electrifying moment and I was now full blown angry! Then when third world war started playing.. everything went flawless. They paid the sound guy to hit the "suck button" on me! It still makes my blood boil to this day! So best advice I can give is bring your own sound guy, or monetarily incentivize the house sound guy. Have fun! Wish I could be there!
Congrats on discovering burnt ends! You may now be on a quest to find them wherever you go :). And, of course, congrats on your first US tour. I love your playing and the band. When you return to the US, please keep Door County, Wisconsin in mind!
It was great to see the band in Omaha--that was a fantastic show!! You all are incredible! Oh, and glad to see y'all got to experience some Arthur Bryant's while you were here in KC! It's truly a staple.
Congrats on making it over and fulfilling a long held ambition. Wish I was close enough to have seen 1 of the shows. Hopefully this is just the 1st trip of many future US dates.
looks like Nashville was awesome. wish I could have made it down. but it's a nearly 13 hour drive (one way). Hoping some day you will be closer to southeastern PA.
Awesome, I like how you made it to Carter Vintage guitars. Was just remembering the great live sessions Marcus King did there. Super cool that you guys got to perform there too. Plus the rig run down from Premier guitars are always good too. Speaking of Marcus King, I wonder if you'll get a chance when you're in LA area to catch up with the Guitar Moves host, the guitarist Matt Sweeney, his shows are always great. Maybe some day very soon, they'll get Cardinal Black over to do a Tinydesk concert?
Big thanks for taking us on your journey Chris. Congrats to you & the band on your first headline shows. You all deserve after the visa process. Looking forward to some content from LA
The Troubadour show last night was a religious experience. I got a couple of iPhone clips of your solos from the front row if you want them. I hope you had the opportunity to get out to Norm's Rare Guitars. Thanks for coming to LA.
Thank you Nicholas! I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you could Dropbox/WeTransfer/Google Drive etc them over to me at chrisbuckguitar@gmail.com that’d be awesome! Thank you 🙂
I'm a radio host in Dallas and I played your band on air. The amount of request I've had since has been insane. A great song can be something beautiful.
That's cool!
What's the channel? I'm just South of Dallas?
@christophervincent8420 every Friday night 8pm to 10pm on KNONNOW. I host Modern Blues Sounds, but I do my best to add variety, my personality, and hopefully introduce new artists to a new audience.
Play the till they can’t be played no more..👍🇦🇺
@@zbennalleyshow available online?
Thanks so much for carving out some time to hang with us before the show!! We can’t wait to share the Rundown with the world! ❤
@premierguitar Buzzin you got to do some filming with Chris, one of my favourite guitarist. Just know this is gonna be top class already👌🏻

P.S. "Half Way" instrumental is ❤️
Great show in Nashville -- looking forward to the next (bigger) tour! 🎸
Like other distinctive guitarists, you immediately know when you hear Chris play. His style is unmistakable.
I bet every single guitarist in Nashville was there! Incredible playing, as always
man your singer has one hell of a voice Chris
Omaha is a really nice area. I lived there from 2003-2007 until I couldn't take the brutally cold winters anymore and headed south to Florida.
I never realised the premier guitars guys were also the whole Premier guitar team, filming etc. Pretty cool.
Brilliant Chris! We're following you from Thailand!
This is no less than you all deserve🤘🏻…..enjoy it
I was there last night at the Troubadour, absolutely incredible. We came from Redlands and got home at 1AM.
Met Chris and Tom, they both could not have been nicer and more gracious. Thank you to everyone in CB for such a great show! If you guys come back this way, we'll be there.
It's a good thing I'm not in your band... by mid solo I'd be listening to you and forget to play. So awesome!
Fantastic footage CB…Welcome to the USA, and greetings from Memphis, Tennessee- Home of the blues, and the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll .
We loved this show so much! Thanks for coming to the US and please come back soon. I enjoyed watching from the front row. I figure the next time you come the venues will be larger, so I'll have to watch from a greater distance. But I promise you, I'll be there!
Chris your tone in those live clips is just sick !!You are absolutely smashing it. Kudos to Cardinal Black , great band!
Chris, thank you for coming to Nashville. Your show here was the highlight of my year. Maybe your next show here will be the Ryman.
Beautiful soloing, fantastic tension and releas, real emotion right there, a masterclass in how to do it right. Come to Oz, do Bluesfest, I'll come just to see you guys.
This video made me so happy. So glad to see Cardinal Black getting the respect and love you honestly deserve.
John Bollinger was making a new Rig Rundown to Premier Guitar magazine RUclips channel? 🤔
Nice! 😎👍
Great Show in Nashville. We are all so pleased that you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to edit and post this one. Apologies for the HEAT. Looking forward to your Troubadour review.
A wonderful band, beautiful melodic songs. Congratulations on your success. Here’s to many more years of music making for you all. 🎸😃
That guitar tone is solid. Like a warm blanket.
P90 pickups are way under rated. I like them so much better than humbuckers.
Was literally screaming at every solo in the troubadour Thursday night. Amazing!
Upwards and onwards, Chris & CB!! Enjoy your time there, and make the absolute most of it 😎👍
I'm definitely looking forward to album no2 (not counting the EP - which is also excellent by the way 😜) and hopefully we'll catch you guys and girl again when you're playing in the Netherlands!!! 👍
Pete Thorn posted some video from your California show, with love.
Chicago would love to have you during the next tour.
Delighted for your continuing rise Chris. It doesn’t surprise me that our cousins across The Pond have welcomed you with open arms as they too know the real deal when they see it. You and the band totally deserve it.
The Nashville show was so incredible. Traveled from Colorado with so much anticipation. A night I will never forget. Looking forward to seeing you at Red Rocks next year!? Fingers crossed!
Yeah! Go play at Red Rocks and film it for a concert video. That place is amazing.
I am so happy for you! After following you for a number of years on RUclips I was convinced that you would, one day, hit the big time. Success in Nashville looks like a huge step in the right direction.
I wish you all the best for the rest of the tour. You deserve all the praise and credit that you and the band are sure to get.

I am so glad you had an awesome experience in the US - Cheers from Sherman, Texas
Congrats on your USA tour successes! You totally deserve it with all the hard work you’ve put it. 👏
Oh, and I’m glad you’re sticking with the long pants on stage. Leave the shorts to the reggae bands. 😉
So happy for you all - you deserve it all!
Your Dad would be so proud…
Great to have you in the US!

Was a pleasure to meet you in Omaha!! Totally worth the 5 hour drive! Safe travels!
I like just watching him talk
I speak American English and have a little trouble understanding Chris at times, but when he speaks through his guitar, I understand perfectly.
I think I speak for most of us in the States that we've been waiting for this moment and this video to drop. So stoked for your Chris. Keep on rockin'
I hope America is/has treated you well sir. Happy for your success.
Loved the show in Nashville!! Drove 6 hours and consider it totally worth it. A tight, professional set from a well rooted, creative, talented lineup. There are no weak links in Cardinal Black or the supporting talent.

Congrats Chris. You guys deserve all the success that comes your way. Welcome to the USA!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride Chris. Delighted for you guys. Keeping fingers crossed your big roll of the dice pays off .
Awesome show! Love that you used crowd video, cool that mine made the cut!
Absolutely great work Chris .... this is passion, this is feeling, this is love .... this is MUSIC !!!!
One of the best shows I’ve been to last night! Just to say it again, you 1000% sound like you! Unmistakably you. Can’t wait till next time
Truly living the dream. Total bucket list stuff.
Congratulations to the Cardinal Black family. Hopefully you will tour again and more of us can enjoy the experience.

The show last night at the Troubadour was killer! Congrats Chris!
Just saw yall in LA! One of the best shows I’ve seen! Y’all are killing it!
Cool stuff Chris. That sign for Kentucky Dam at 7:15 is about 3 miles from my house. Had I known you were passing I would have waved as you went by. 🙂

Brilliant Chris, so great to see you guys enjoying yourselves and appreciative audiences.
So pleased for you … well deserved recognition and appreciation 🎉

Rock on
Thanks for posting! Now bring on The Troubadour!!!
Awesome! I'm glad it went well for you. Is Nashville not the greatest city to visit? Hope you guys will be back to see us soon!
This is so fun, thanks for the travelogue and so glad the Nashville gig was great, cheers!!
Huge congrats guys.. Well deserved
Big thanks for taking us on your journey Chris. Congrats to you & the band on your first headline shows.
You all deserve after the visa process. Looking forward to some content from LA
Glad you finally made it over. I wish I had the chance to see you. I definitely will next time.
It was great to see you guys in Nashville. Here's looking to the next US run. And I fully expect there will more than a few in your future.
You were giving it back to the people Chris, GREAT playing man!
The Troubadour show last night was a religious experience. I got a couple of iPhone clips of your solos from the front row if you want them. I hope you had the opportunity to get out to Norm's Rare Guitars. Thanks for coming to LA.

I'm happy for ya Chris!👍😊
Just realized you were in Omaha! Darn! I'm an hour away! Wish I would've known!! 😮 I would have let you use my 83 Gibson les paul custom pearl white!
Awesome band, well done here's to more success for you and the rest of the band.
Buck is the best RUclips player out there
Great live tone on the guitar Chris
Awesome Chris! Well deserved after all the hard work!!! Welcome to America!
