Buffalo is Alive with Music

Whatever your favorite genre, every night in Buffalo you can find something cool to listen to—and some nights you can find everything.

 

Buffalo’s musical heritage is dynamic. It’s a story being written one set at a time, as musicians—homegrown or passing through—take the stage in venues you won’t forget. Hear your favorite acts play rooms that’ve been reimagined and reborn, like Asbury Hall, Iron Works, Sportsmen’s Tavern and the Town Ballroom. Even the unexpected spaces are filled with song, from Silo City’s abandoned grain elevators to front porches in the Elmwood Village.

 

Check out our sneaky cool music scene—you’re going to love what you hear here.  Learn more about the Buffalo music scene… explore our venues… and see who’s playing when.
