The Man Behind The Rhythm... Brad Buckley

Brad has been performing in the Queensland music scene since the early

90s in various formats. His career has come full circle since then having

progressed from solo performances, to his six year stint as front man of the

highly successful Brisbane covers act “ Piston Broke ”then on

to another six year run in the very popular duo “ 2 Not Out ” followed by

the next chapter with duo act“ TOO EZY ”.

The key is a broad knowledge of all

genres so as to appeal to a wide

cross range of audience in varying styles.

From a laid back and extremely easy listening bistro style to a

more up-tempo after work public bar audience, Brad can cover it for you.

Although the performance is in an unplugged acoustic style, as this is the

style that this performer prefers, this does not detract from the

entertainment aspect of the show. Requests are always considered and Brad

likes to make his audience feel welcome with his personable and easily

approachable style. Brad took on all of this experience from his band days and past

duo's, incorporating it into an extremely versatile solo act before teaming up with

Sydney descendant & Gold Coast rocker, Debi Martin.

Debi's natural flair for entertaining and infectious personality combined with powerfully driven vocals will leave the audience wondering what wow factor she will come up with next. Just try to take your eyes off her as she transports you from The Divinyls to the Angels and Pink to Baby Animals.

“DISTRACTION” is a Rock Covers Duo which combines the talents of two compelling

vocalists in Debi Martin and Brad Buckley. Throw in Brad’s natural flair for creating a

solid rhythm on his guitar to back the pair and an awesome mix of mainstream

Rock and Popular Covers from the 70s to now and the result is something that has

audiences hanging out to see which song comes next. Both artists have spent years

honing their craft in various acts across Queensland and New South Wales.

This experience brings any venue or function a polished and versatile show

capable of moulding and adapting itself to the individual demands of each performance.

Whether it be a dinner function, partied up pub rock vibe or a blend of both the huge variety of music covered by

this entertaining duo ensures that the needs of the event are met.

Distraction performs well known hits from artists ranging from The Eagles and Missy Higgins, right through to the

powerhouse rock songs of Cold Chisel and The Choirboys, and Debi also belts out several hits from the

“Rock Chicks” such as Pink, Pat Benatar, Melissa Etheridge and The Divinyls. Nothing is missed out so whether

you want to rock out or you just want to chill Distraction is the ideal duo for your next event.
