Biography

Fletcher Tucker (born 1983) is an interdisciplinary artist and practitioner of animistic, earth-reverent skills and philosophies, residing on the unceded Esselen tribal lands now known as Big Sur, California. Since 2005, Tucker has released nine full-length albums of music, under various project names, on labels based in Germany, Sweden, Japan, and the United States. Tuckers’ most recent records, released under his given name, explore relationality –– aural and poetic expressions of his ever deepening relationships to place, ancestors, ceremonial practice, and kinfolk (human and more-than-human).

Tucker is the founder of the analog record label Gnome Life Records –– releasing experimental and ambient music, outsider folk, and spoken word by West Coast artists since 2005  (including works by Robbie Basho, Daniel Higgs, Little Wings and many more). In addition to his artistic work, Tucker is the co-founder of Wildtender, an organization dedicated to helping people cultivate intimacy with the earth, and reciprocal relationships with the natural world. Tucker is also teaching faculty at the Esalen Institute and the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.
