Josh “Bucky” McKenzie – Lead Guitarist, The Taylor Hunnicutt Band

Josh “Bucky” McKenzie hails from, Alabama. As the lead guitarist for The Taylor Hunnicutt Band, Bucky blends Southern rock fire, country swagger, and pure blues grit into a style that’s all his own.

His playing moves effortlessly between razor-sharp riffs, too soulful bends, —always serving the song and lifting Taylor’s powerhouse vocals to new heights. Whether it’s a smokey ballad or a barn-burning rocker, Bucky’s tone hits that perfect sweet spot between precision and feel.

Bucky plays the Patterson Troubadour—a guitar built for players who need versatility without sacrificing attitude. With its resonant body, hand-wound pickups, and road-ready build, the Troubadour gives Bucky the punch, clarity, and dynamic range that define his live and studio work.

From Alabama honky tonks to festival stages, Bucky’s sound is as authentic as it gets, and we’re proud to have him as part of the Patterson Guitars artist family.
