Richard Buckner has been making incredible, critically-acclaimed albums for more than a decade now, but you can still find him working odd jobs during the day.

We like to think of rock musicians as living a glamorous life: sleeping in until three in the afternoon, rolling into a club, and playing to huge crowds of adoring fans.
