About the speaker

Buck Buchanan’s love of music began at a very young age while growing up on a western Idaho cattle ranch. His appreciation of music, combined with his love of poetry, led him on the path to writing songs. In 1976, he moved to West Yellowstone to be part of a country rock band with his longtime friends. In 1980, he moved to Bozeman and was a science teacher for 22 years at Belgrade Middle School. His love for songwriting and playing music never ended, so in 1998, he and Johnny Regan founded the country band, www.Twang. Buck currently resides in Manhattan with his wife, Carol.

Missouri Headwaters State Park is about 5 miles north of Three Forks on Trident Road. For more information about the park, please visit fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/missouri-headwaters or call 406-285-3610.
