A guitar can solve any problem.

About Me

Sixty Eight Seasons is a highly sought after Original Acoustic fronted rock & roll act. Located near Greensboro, North Carolina, they perform a unique style of music combining powerful soul-felt lyrics and melodies written by singer/songwriter Buck Saunders that MUST be sung along to by audiences, guitar-laced rhythm driven rock music that MUST be danced to by fans, and full band harmonies that will blow you away.

Drawing inspiration from artist such as Bon Jovi, Stone Temple Pilots, Matchbox20, Fleetwood Mac, Nickelback, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Poison, Tom Petty, Bob Seager and many other well known and even more totally obscure performers, Sixty Eight Seasons songs and show enjoy enormous appeal to all age ranges and musical tastes.

The guys in Sixty Eight Seasons come back together after more than a decade with each of them writing, performing and recording separately. Brothers Buck and Timmy Saunders with lifelong friend John Hawthorne are now joined by Rhob Elliott to complete a down-to-earth powerhouse of songwriters, players, and performers that have the experience, talent, drive and commitment to delivering a great song and show every time.

Ask their fans and they'll tell you, “Sixty Eight Seasons are just plain FUN!” This makes sense since, after all, they just love the music! As many have put it, “Even the songs I don’t know I am singing along to and dancing to before they’re even halfway through the first chorus!”

SIXTY EIGHT SEASONS- ROCK WITH US!
