Since releasing her career defining album DEAR JOHN in 2022, Sam Buckingham has built a cult like following on the Australian live circuit.

She’s Woodford, Wild Village Queenscliff Music Festivals Festival of Small Halls. Beautiful Machine with Australian-born Nashville-based producer Clare ‘LOLLIES’ Reynolds. Beautiful Machine couch in her underwear and on long drives to see her family (while someone else was driving, of course). They mark a new chapter in her songwriting career, and in her life. I’ve been falling deeper in love with my body and the Earth In a time when we’re seemingly obsessed with building ‘bigger and better’ technology, all I can think about is how the natural world is so brilliantly designed — it’s the most beautiful machine we’ll ever have. So, this album is a love letter to myself, my body, the earth and all of humanity. As we keep progressing, my only wish is that we remember we ARE the natural world — and we must care for ourselves and each other accordingly. Influenced by the lyrical honesty of Jensen McRae, Brandi Carlisle & Ani DiFranco, the anthemic energy of Maggie Rogers, and the rhythmic flow of artists like LaRussell and Connor Price, Sam’s unique sensibility for marrying poetry with pop shines as she effortlessly weaves her personal truth into the fabric of the global zeitgeist.
