First class entertainment is coming to the Freedom Festival’s center stage that you and your family will not want to miss. Jamie Buckley
 Jamie Buckley was born in Hamilton, Ohio on June 17, 1970. Jamie and his older brother were raised in Pasco, Washington - an average sized city surrounded by lush farmland. Upon graduation from Pasco Senior High School in 1988, Jamie joined the United States Army. After 3 years of service and a combat tour in Iraq, Jamie was honorably discharged.
Jamie returned home and spent the next 5 years as a Deputy Sheriff and then a 9-1-1 Emergency Dispatcher. It was during this time that Jamie really learned that he could sing. He played local gigs all throughout the Columbia Basin. Sometimes he got paid and sometimes he didn't. But he knew that he loved what he was doing. In the summer of '96, Jamie was invited to be the opening act for Country Recording Artist, Clay Walker and he felt change was coming. His performance was a smashing success. This was the show that made Jamie say, "This is what I want to do for a living."
At this turning point, Jamie realized he'd reached his potential in Eastern Washington. While eternally grateful to those fans, he needed a chance to reach bigger audiences. So, Jamie and his family came up with the unusual solution of re-enlisting in the Army. This gave Jamie a reliable job to provide for his family and relocate him in Central Texas (now that's COUNTRY!). Since that time, Jamie has performed all over the United States, Korea and even in Cuba.
Jamie continues to proudly serve in the Army where he is assigned to the U.S. Army's Recruiting Command (USAREC). Entering his fifteenth year on Active Duty, he is being featured in a program called, "The U.S. Army Recruiting Entertainment Team featuring SFC Jamie Buckley" where he performs country music in support of the Army's recruiting mission. Jamie performs everywhere from high schools to large country music festivals all across America. He has recently performed at venues with the likes of Toby Keith, Big & Rich, Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn and Blake Shelton. In 2009, he's scheduled for shows in the same line-ups as country superstars, Montgomery Gentry, James Otto, and Darryl Worley once again.
