  • 8th Annual Beau Fleuve Music & Arts Celebration Announced

    Beau Fleuve Music & Arts has announced its eighth annual celebration for Sunday, Aug. 25, 2024, on the historical grounds of the Buffalo Central Terminal.

    Beau Fleuve Music & Arts strives to celebrate all music, arts, and culture. In 2017, they launched the annual celebration to drive their purpose and mission by standing on the pillars of diversity to build bridges in the community through the arts. Beau Fleuve has been attracting artists and visitors from across the region and abroad throughout New York State, Southern Ontario, and the Northeast to enjoy the festivities.

    The Annual Celebration has built a reputation and niche for hosting featuring nationally and internationally touring artists as their careers are ascending, such as Danielle Ponder, Benny the Butcher, Super American, DJ Shub, Venzella Joy, Zuri Appleby, Stove God Cooks, Eric Van Houten, and more.

    “I’m always extremely grateful for what we are able to cultivate each year and provide spaces for all to enjoy,” said Lindsey Taylor, Founder. The festival has multiple stages from regional, national and international musical acts, art installations & exhibitions, interactive activation spaces, a family fun zone, live podcast, Canna Lounge, Pullup & Pitch contest, street art, fashion, sports culture, film, backyard games, food trucks, beer & wine garden,  mind + body + soul health & wellness, vendors village and more.

    One of the confirmed artists for this year’s Beau Fleuve Music & Arts Celebration is a soft rock sibling band from New York City INFINITY SONG. With a blend of tight vocal harmonies, dreamy lyricism, and sublime guitar riffs, the band creates a transcendent experience – amassing millions of views and attention from some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Their sound has led many listeners to compare the band to legendary 70s groups such as Fifth Dimension, The Mamas and the Papas, and ABBA.

    Through Beau Flueve’s foundation, they create music and arts programs for Inner City Youth ages 5-22 and service the community at large through arts, cultural, and community placemaking such as after-school programs and workshops, summer arts programs, public art initiatives, paid summer internship program, community cleanups, seasonal givebacks, high school scholarships, and more.

  • Excision Performs a Double Header in Buffalo 

    The Dad of dubstep himself, Excision, kicked off his two night event in Buffalo on March 19. Buffalo Riverworks got two shows on the famous Nexus tour which has steam-rolled not only the EDM world, but the mainstream music scene as well due the innovative production quality.

    Openers Bring the Heat

    When Excision stops into town he is a master when it comes to putting on a performance. He brings out the best of the best openers that help curate that energetic environment he is known for. Night one started off high intensity sets from Jkyl & Hyde followed by LAYZ. LAYZ has been a continuing growing force in the bass music scene with her heavy hitting beats and new age sound.

    Ray Volpe followed up with his set that only continued to fill Riverworks with more energy. Ray Volpe’s highly sought after ID “Laserbeam” is one that immediately gets the crowd raging. Bass music icon Eptic wrapped up the line of openers with his cutting edge baselines and masterwork song structures.

    This stacked line-up of openers paved the way for yet again another undeniably jaw-dropping performance from Excision. Of course this festival creator is no stranger when it comes to wowing the crowd. His booming success at Lost Lands each year goes to show his mastery at not only producing music, but producing a high quality show. It’s the reason Excision, also known as Jeff Abel, resides in the epicenter of an ever-expanding realm of bass music.

    This DJ legend opened up his set with visuals that outlined his famous “X” symbol as fans signaled out to him in the crowd. The suspense filled the room as the music intensified and Jeff took over the stage.

    The bass was booming that night as Excision played his numerous hits including “Name Drop” and “Titans.” He invited humor into his sets for those who are able to catch the memes he cuts into segments of different songs. One famous meme this producer always has in his set is “my name’s Jeff” from the movie 21 Jump Street.

    A New Age for Production

    Countless people were head banging, opening up huge mosh pits, and grooving with flow toys. The insane energy at an Excision show can’t be replicated anywhere else. His visuals are are so advanced that even mainstream artists like Kanye are trying to figure out how to replicate the quality.

    Excision has implemented 3D visuals into his Nexus tour. This has taken the rave experience to a whole new level and is a must see. On night two he had one segment during his show where Shrek was seen dancing from a distance. Then as the beat dropped Shrek appeared to be popping out of the screen towards the crowd. This had fans wide-eyed and looking towards each other in shock. No one could believe how immersive the projections was.

    This made it even more so with Buffalo Riverworks assistance by allowing Excision to use the side screens so more people could relish in this renowned production quality. No other artists at Riverworks utilizes the side screens so it’s safe to say Buffalo holds a special spot for Excision.

    Excision may be the king when it comes to dubstep, but he also knows how to get people right in their feels. Every time he performs his collaboration with Illenium titled, “Feel Something,” it does just that. People were seen embracing each other and teary eyed as it played.

    Trying to describe an Excision show will never do it justice. So northeast music lovers take that drive to go see a stop on this tour. The Nexus tour has stops at Boston on March 24 and Cincinnati on March 27. Get your tickets here.

  • Albany Ranked Top Among Best Places to Live in New York

    Albany has been ranked as the best place to live in the state, according to a survey by the U.S. News & World Report. Some may also be shocked that New York City ranked fifth in the 2023-24 list of best places to live in the state, behind Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, respectively. What we find less surprising is that all five cities have a large music presence.

    Ranked as the #1 best place to live in New York State, the Capital Region is home to several music venues and recording studios. White Lake Music and Post, one of the recording studios on Albany’s roster, has produced, recorded, and mixed multiple Billboard Top 40 singles and provided audio services for clients including Netflix, Discovery, Lifetime, Universal, Disney, Nickelodeon, and HBO. Additionally, the Palace Theatre, which first opened its doors in 1931, has been graced by the presence of musical greats like the Rolling Stones and is home to the Albany Symphony Orchestra.

    Ranking second on the list, Syracuse is home to many venues, among them Syracuse Stage, which is approaching its 50th anniversary this year. The premier professional theatre in Central New York, Stage is part of Syracuse University and is a member of The League of Resident Theatres (LORT), the largest professional theatre association in the country. America’s leading actors, directors, and designers work and/or have worked at Stage including Tony Award-winners Jason Alexander, Lillias White, Chuck Cooper, and Elizabeth Franz, Emmy recipients Jean Stapleton, Sam Waterston, John Cullum, James Whitmore, and Ben Gazzara.

    Rochester ranks as the third best place to live in New York State. Rochester is home to Water Street Music Hall, the city’s largest and oldest concert venue. Originally opened in 1976 under the name The Country Warehouse, the venue has brought hundreds of large artists including Phish, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Ashanti, David Byrne, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Iggy Pop, Jack Harlow, Sublime, St. Vincent, King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard, Maroon 5, Weezer, and many more.

    Coming in fourth is the Queen City of Buffalo, a major music and entertainment region of its own. Buffalo is home to GCR Audio, a recording studio that has worked with Buffalo natives the Goo Goo Dolls, who recorded their self-titled debut album as well as Jed, Hold Me Up, Superstar Car Wash, A Boy Named Goo, Jessie J, and Who You Are at the studio. The city is also home to the nearly 100-year-old Shea’s Theatre, which this year alone has held performances of classic musicals such as Les, Mamma Mia, and in previous years Beetlejuice, Dear Evan Hanson, A Christmas Story: The Musical, The Nutcracker, and Mean Girls: The Musical, among others.

    As we know, New York City is the music and entertainment capital of the Empire State, if not the country. With countless music venues such as the Beacon Theatre, Knockdown Center, Brooklyn Bowl and Madison Square Garden, plus dozens of recording studios such as Electric Lady, the Big Apple has earned its title as one of the best cities for music in the world. MSG has hosted more than thousands of sports events and concerts, including upcoming tours by Fall Out Boy and Nicki Minaj. Electric Lady Recording Studio has made music for several big names in the industry such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, as well as New York natives Christina Aguilera and Lana Del Rey.

    The state of New York is home to several of the most prestigious and oldest music venues in the country, making it clear to see why the aforementioned cities rank in the top five best places to live in New York State.

  • Chick Corea & Bela Fleck “Remembrance” – Duo’s Final Album, due in May

    Béla Fleck reflects highly on his years-long collaboration with late pianist Chick Corea, sounding like a bashful student musician, still in awe of the jazz legend whose impact transformed him as a teenager in the ’70s. The duo’s album, Remembrance – out May 10 via Thirty Tigers – serves as a moving final document of the profound creative and personal rapport Fleck and Corea have showcased previously on 2007’s Latin Grammy-winning The Enchantment.

    Released just over three years after Corea’s passing, Remembrance serves as an addendum to Corea’s legacy, highlighted by three previously unreleased Corea compositions as well as five short free improvisations, or impromptus, that Fleck has infused with written music. 

    Chick Corea & Bela Fleck

    Recorded both live in concert, over the duo’s final tour dates in 2019, Remembrance was crafted by trading sound files amid the Covid pandemic. Running a stylistic gamut, the album features Corea’s unreleased tunes “Enut Nital” (“Latin Tune,” spelled backwards), and “Continuance,” an older work that resurfaced in the duo’s setlist, as well as new Fleck compositions, including “The Otter Creek Incident” and “Juno,” a winsome tribute to his son, the channeling Thelonious Monk and Scarlatti, and challenging exercises such as “Small Potatoes,” which evokes Corea’s work in the jazz avant-garde. 

    When the 18-time Grammy Award-winning banjoist reflected on his time collaborating with Corea, Fleck said, “I just feel so lucky to have played with him in such an intimate way, and to have gotten to know him so well.”

    The title track, a Corea composition “Remembrance,” is one of the last pieces of music Chick ever recorded. “It’s just one of those perfect Chick Corea tunes,” Fleck says. “It sounds to me like a New Orleans funeral march, even though it has a Latin component, like everything he did tended to.”

    Corea’s death in 2021 devastated the jazz community, who saw the pianist as a constant international presence, a vibrant musician who never ceased touring and recording. “It was a deep shock,” says Fleck, who also released an inspired live project with Corea, Two, in 2015. “It was one of the special relationships in my life. He was just so kind to me, and so helpful, and I learned so much from him.” 

    “We pushed this duo to a new place before we ran out of time,” says Fleck, who produced Remembrance. “We have here another cool look at Chick Corea, at the different ways that he can play that we wouldn’t have had. There’s a lot of great Chick Corea out there, and this is different.”

    “I know it sounds unlikely. But it really happened. Once upon a time, I played banjo in a duo with Chick Corea.”

    “He found the good in everything. I’m just so glad to be a part of this — glad I could be with him, and glad there’s more to share.” 

    Béla Fleck

    The album is available now for preorder.

    Local talent Electric Dad and ZWAAN kicked off this night of future bass music. This was followed by Drezo. LA-based producer Drezo introduced the crowd to a style of G-House which pays homage to hip-hop elements. He brings those rap mixes that everyone knows blended with his bold beats.

    Then the transformative artist known as Kaivon brought an uplifted vibe as soon as he stepped on the stage. His visuals instantly give a euphoric feel especially with the use of colorful lighting.  

    Even though Kaivon is loved for his melodic heartfelt songs he still designates sections of his set for lovers of heavy dubstep. The way he can make people teary eyed from his mix of Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For” and then headbang right after to the following song is why so many people keep coming back to a Kaivon set.

    Kaivon’s performance brings attention to the parts of life people love most. His set is meant to reconnect the crowd and bring a nostalgic feel. He does this through powerful visuals and several mixes of popular songs. Artists he mixed into his set included Paramore, Rufus Du Sol, The Fray, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Finally getting to hear songs for the first time off of his sophomore album Ultraviolet was a euphoric feeling. Especially with the performance of “Pretty” which gets everyone in their feels with its angelic rhythm. This only grew more when he performed his throwback fan favorite song, “I Love You.”

    Kaivon’s shows bring a unique force to EDM culture. He is a reminder of why living in the present moment is so important. He creates a space that grounds people and invites people to reborn in a positive framework.

  • A Coldwave Hits Town Ballroom

    Buffalo band ‘Free Music Party’ hosted their first music festival, Coldwave, at the Town Ballroom on Saturday, March 2. The event featured local, Buffalo-native artists and musicians from surrounding areas.

    The one-day festival lineup featured a headlining performance from Free Music Party themselves. Additional performers included ProSocial, Johnny and the Man Kids, and Nefatli, among others.

    As all festivals tend to get a bit of a slow start, Coldwave was no exception to this. That didn’t stop each act from giving it their all during their 30-minute sets and the headliner during their hour-long set.

    Kevin Spears, a member of Free Music Party, said of the event, “Cold Wave is a first-year, Western New York-centered music festival hosted by Free Music Party, a Buffalo R&B and Hip Hop act. Under the guidance of Kaylen Price and Max Cambria, Free Music Party gathered some of the freshest and upcoming musical acts from the area, and even a few out-of-town musicians, under the roof of the historic Town Ballroom for a night of music, art, fashion, and community.

    The festival aims to capture the raw, unique, and utter coolness of the artistic movement emerging from Buffalo and the surrounding areas. Free Music Party, dubbed “FMP” by friends and fans alike, being heavily involved in this emerging scene from the beginning. We knew we would be the perfect hosts to be at the forefront of this ‘cold wave’.”

    Alex Live, Free Music Party

    It was incredible to see all of these local acts under one roof. This festival truly gave these artists a platform they might not have had otherwise. It also did wonders to spotlight the Buffalo music scene and its influence in the city.
