the songwriter
With a master's degree in arts education from Harvard, Anne Buckle doesn't have your typical singer-songwriter story. But as the great, great niece of A.P. Carter and a cousin of June Carter Cash, she has music running through her blood.
​
Anne is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer. As an artist, she goes by WILDWOOD, and her songs have been streamed over a million times across digital platforms. She has been called "a refreshing take on a legendary family" by the Nashville Music Guide, and "one of the Bluebird's favorite guest artists - honest, vulnerable, and completely original - she captivates the audience every time," by the house emcee at the world-famous Bluebird Cafe.

Anne has shared the stage with Charlie Daniels, toured with Augustana, opened for the Dixie Chicks on their 2016 world tour, appeared in music videos for Kip Moore, and performed on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. She has written over 200 songs with dozens of artists from three continents including American Idol runner-up David Archuleta, America's Got Talent's Marisa McKaye, the Steel Blossoms, Misty Rae Carson, TROVE, Alex DaCosta, Joe Martin, Danielle Celeste, Alexis Wilkins, Marie Hines, Anthony Snape, American Idol contestant Jacob Westfall, Tasha Amoroso, and Austin Tyler Jones from The Voice, to name a few.
​
With mentors like Tony Arata (songwriter of "The Dance" by Garth Brooks) and Jerry Vandiver (who penned "For a Little While" by Tim McGraw), it's no wonder that Anne's songwriting skills have been noticed. A staff songwriter at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Anne teachings songwriting to hundreds of kids annually as part of the nationally acclaimed Words & Music and Songwriting 101 programs at the Taylor Swift Education Center.
​
Anne founded Melodies & Mimosas in 2019 to share the joy of songwriting with people visiting Nashville and to provide a once-in-a-lifetime music experience that they'll never forget.
