  • Third Eye Blind Announces Summer Gods Tour, Stopping in Buffalo, Saratoga Springs, and Wantagh in July

    Third Eye Blind has announced their ‘Summer Gods Tour’ that will kick off in June with shows in Buffalo, Saratoga Springs, and Wantagh this summer. 

    Third Eye Blind will kick off their fourth edition of the Summer Gods Tour which will make a stop at Darien Lake Amphitheater on July 3, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on July 12, PNC Bank Arts Center on July 14, Broadview Stage at SPAC on July 16 and Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on July 18. The band’s upcoming tour will also feature a Jacksonville-based rock band Yellowcard and the New Jersey-based trio A R I Z O N A. 

    The band’s frontman shared their excitement for this tour as he stated, “I have this sense that I am feeling the same way everybody else is—that we need a summer tour so badly, like more than ever, we need the lights, the noise, the heat, and everybody up close to each other, singing as one. Can’t wait.”- Stephan Jenkins. 

    He also announced that a portion of the proceeds will benefit SeaTrees, an organization that works with coastal communities around the world to restore the ecosystems. “We have a beautiful, bright future,” with climate action in the center of it. “That’s what I want people to know,” Jenkins announced on CBS Mornings

    General on-sale tickets will begin on Jan.12 and can be purchased here.

    Cool Cool Cool has announced a winter/spring “Never Noticed Tour” that will find them hitting the Southeast, Northeast and Colorado, with shows in Syracuse, Buffalo and Saratoga Springs this March.

    never noticed tour cool cool cool

    This first-ever headlining run for Cool Cool Cool features many former members of Turkuaz, building off the success of their debut single “Never Noticed,” Cool Cool Cool is bursting at the seams to bring their show to fans both new and old. The set will include new and original Cool Cool Cool material, songs from individual members’ solo projects, the band’s favorite hard-hitting covers, and many more surprises.

    Cool Cool Cool blends the best of funk, house and R&B to create a truly unique sound. With dynamic female-led vocals, a tight horn section, swirling synths and a rhythm section that lays down a wicked groove, this band knows how to deliver an electrifying performance. When you see Cool Cool Cool in person, you’ll be swept up by the energy of their music and unforgettable live show.

    We are thrilled about our very first headlining tour, and so excited to share our original music with all of our friends, fans and family in all of these cities and venues we love. It feels awesome and I’m so proud of us and what we’ve created together.

    Sammi Garett

    Cool Cool Cool showed what they are truly capable of in 2023, including sprawling tours with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew on their ‘Remain In Light’ tour, as well as support for Andy Frasco’s ‘L’Optimist’ tour. In addition to traveling throughout the year on these endeavors, the band was able to headline festivals, perform Evening With concerts, play late-night dance parties, and collaborate for numerous writing and studio recording sessions.

    Cool Cool Cool’s Never Noticed Tour will kick off the next chapter for the band with new shows and new music just waiting to be heard and grooved with.

    This tour is special for us. Over the years we’ve all put our hearts, countless hours, and full dedication into our crafts. Coming together as a band to be creative and adventurous has been an amazing experience. All of the cities on this run are locations we love, places we have made friends and fans, and honestly, it feels like a coming home tour in many ways. From Turkuaz shows, solo projects, sit ins, and now Cool Cool Cool, these are venues I know we all can’t wait to reconnect with, and build new families from.

  • In Focus: Dave Matthews Tribute Band ignites the night at The Town Ballroom

    The Dave Matthews Tribute Band along with opening act, The Tim Britt Band, played to a large crowd of eager fans on December 29 at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo.

    As that crowd filled the venue, it was quite apparent of the varying age of the fans. And not surprising since the original DMB has been around since 1991. But when the music started there were no differences, just fans of all ages enjoying one great night. And seeing new and old fans still enjoying this music shows how timeless it is.

    Opening the night, The Tim Britt Band. This four-piece band fronted by Tim Britt is a modern/alternative/folk group from Buffalo. Accompanying Tim was Evan Laedke on keys, Gerry Grismondi on bass, and Damone A-Miracle Jackson on drums. The band played a night full of well received great original songs. With the only exception being the encore, “Sledgehammer” (Peter Gabriel). This band is definitely a fun and exciting band worth checking out.

    Closing out the night was The Dave Matthews Tribute Band, which started in 2004 have now played over 1,500 shows in 46 states and 8 countries. This five-piece band consists of David Suruani on drums, Gary Wilkinson on vocals and acoustic guitar, Tim Sheldon on bass, Zaxh Sweetser on keys, Alex Crizni on violin, Eric Wozniak on sax, and Sam Osmond on electric guitar (guest).

    dave matthews tribute band

    With The Dave Matthews Tribute Band being no stranger to Buffalo, making its rounds many times through the area had no problem filling the venue. And not surprising being this tribute is among the best next to the original I have ever heard. You could close your eyes and swear you were listening to DMB. And this night was exactly that. From the vocals to the drums and everything in-between, this band embodies DMB. And the energy and absolute talent were in full force playing all the hits from across the catalog. Keep an eye out for this band if you are a fan.

    Setlist: Tripping Billies, Dancing Nancies, Warehouse, Crash Into Me, You Never Know, Satellite, Lie in our graves*, If Only, Two Step*, #41, Space Between, Bartender, Say Goodbye*, Crush, Ants Marching

    Encore: Stone*, Everyday (Fake) Halloween*

    * Sam Osmond on electric guitar
