Bachman's first projects were released under the moniker Sacred Harp. In 2011, Bachman released Grey-Black-Green, his first release under his own name. Although primarily a solo player, Bachman has also worked with several collaborators across various projects, including full collaborative albums with the guitaristRyley Walker and multi-instrumentalist Ian McColm.
In 2015,Rolling Stone named Bachman one of "10 Artists You Need to Know."[3]NPR described him as an "established and thoughtful voice in the solo guitar music scene" who contributed "languid slide guitar" in one piece, and with hammer-ons "piercing like a floodlight out of darkness" in another.[4]Stereogum describes him as "from the same acoustic-instrumental world that gave us the great folk visionaryWilliam Tyler, and his music has the same sort of out-of-time float that Tyler’s does."
