BASED IN COLUMBUS, OH, DAVE BUKER AND THE HISTORIANS HAVE BEEN SPREADING THEIR BRAND OF AMERICANA SINCE 2010. AFTER PERFORMING AT 2017’S BUNBURY MUSIC FESTIVAL, WHICH ALSO FEATURED DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE AND THE SHINS, THEY WON CD92.9FM’S LOCAL ARTIST CONTEST, WERE FEATURED BY AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAGAZINE, AND OPENED FOR SPOON, ALVVAYS, AND THE ACES. BUT AS WAS TRUE FOR MANY MUSICIANS, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SLOWED THE BAND’S MOMENTUM, AND THEY CHOSE TO FOCUS ON WRITING AND RECORDING NEW MUSIC. THE RESULT IS HEIRLOOMS, THE BAND’S FIRST ALBUM OF ORIGINAL MUSIC SINCE 2019’S IT MOVES IN THE DARK.
