Tom Buckley

Tribute Keyboardist

The Very Best In Tribute Piano and Keyboards

 

who I am

Experience: 50+ years on keyboards, 15+ years established in major tribute market nationally and internationally, supporting 35-40 tribute artists across legends, rock, pop, and theatrical productions.

I'm an award winning, nationally and occasional internationally touring keyboardist specializing in album‑accurate piano, electric piano, organ, and synth reproduction for tribute artists and full‑production shows. I'm known for my strong ear, fast show prep, and reliably energetic stage presence, and ultra-accurate sound replication.

I've performed with all the Ultimate top‑tier Elvis tribute artists including Dwight Icenhower, Taylor Rodriguez, Ryan Pelton, Cody Ray Slaughter, Dean Z, and the EAS Band. My production experience spans Jason Sherry Management and the TributeFestival.Rocks series; Elvis Presley Entertainment at the Soundstage at Graceland; Brown Productions in Las Vegas; TMJR Productions; and Paragon Entertainment in Branson Mo.

I bring a professional, tour‑ready rig and the versatility to cover everything from piano‑driven Elton John arrangements to layered synth and orchestral textures.

I'm open to exploring additional gigs for fill-in or full-time if it is a right fit.

EPE and Graceland Sanctioned Performer

In partnership with the #1 Elvis Tribute Band, EAS with John Crenshaw, Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) sanctioned keyboardists for the Ultimate Tribute contest.

legends tribute artists backing keyboardist

Backing at least 40 nationally renowned legends tribute artists, including: Elvis Presley, Garth Brooks, Buddy Holly, Elton John, Rod Stewart, James Brown, Tom Jones, Cher, Billy Joel, John Denver, Neil Diamond, and many more...

Elton John Pianist

One of my specialities is piano backing for Elton John tribute artists. No, I'm not an Elton John tribute artist, I'm the piano playing fingers behind the tribute artist. Currently backing Dwight Icenhower as Elton John, I perform live piano, recreating the exact sounds and stylings of Elton so Dwight can focus on singing and delivering an exceptional performance

Tom and the hot notes

My solo boogie woogie show, performing foot stomping classic boogie woogie music directly from the piano. No, not Jerry Lee Lewis, but real boogie woogie!

semivinyl

My original music project with Tom Wegner, semivinyl is an oddly attractive mix of pop; electronica; jazz; country; and a few other stylings thrown in for good measure.

I'm here to make you look and sound great

I'm an International tribute backing keyboardist. One of the industry leaders in tribute backing keyboards, with over 35 years of experience and one of the most seasoned professional musicians in the industry.
