Wild Buffalo Presents Cytrus with special guests Friday, November 29th Wild Buffalo 8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+ In the world of music, the term “fusion” tends to raise eyebrows. Yet, the sonic explorers of Seattle octuplet Cytrus have spent the last three years crafting a debut that draws deftly from a broad melodic palette, melding distinct stylistic threads into a cohesive creative voice. Relax, and the grooves will flow through your soul. Concentrate, and you’ll find yourself tumbling through an immaculately constructed alternate reality when melody and rhythm dance hand in hand through spacetime.&nbsp;Shaped by Jared Squires (guitar/vocals), Luke Nevills (bass/keys), Brandon Hailey (saxophone), Owen Mayo (keys/guitar), Trevor Church (drums), Alex Dean (synth/keys), Sean Connelly (vocals/keys), and Connor Merritt (aux percussion), Cytrus mines psychedelic funk, disco, electronic, rock, soul, hip-hop. Flowing through kaleidoscopic transitions, the band’s juicy synths and brass-powered grooves coalesce into an undeniable, hypnotic wall of sound.Cytrus began when two Everett, WA bands found themselves mixing in the same shared rehearsal space. Finding they shared an ethos and approach to songcraft, Bunk Foss &amp; HopSol merged, and Cytrus was born. The songs on Concentrate arose organically; some grew from sketches crafted by subgroups with the band where were then expanded upon in a full band setting. Others began as purely improvised sessions with the full octet which were later arranged. Yet all ultimately come from the conflux of individuality and collaboration.&nbsp;Independently recorded at their rehearsal space, and mixed and mastered in-house, Concentrate is in every sense D.I.Y. In addition to the core group, the record features appearances byJason Cressey (trombone), Shyam Sunder Joseph Raja (tablas), and Connor Merritt (didgeridoo). After recording Concentrate, Merritt has joined the band full time as auxiliary percussion player.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thematically, the record charts the philosophical, emotional journey from darkness to light.&nbsp; Starting from blissful ignorance, we then grapple with a sense of irrelevance when faced with the enormity of reality. Undeterred, we vow to pursue the search for truth and purpose. Finally, at the nexus of spirituality and psychedelics, we find awakening. “Concentrate is a metaphor of the pursuit of happiness/fulfillment, which we all seek in our personal stories of life” explains Squires. “The “Juice” can be found at the end of that path, but many obstacles can and will stand in the way.”&nbsp;Ultimately, Concentrate is both the culmination of a creative and spiritual journey and the first step on the long road to musical enlightenment. For a young (figuratively and literally) band to create a piece of art of the depth and breadth of Concentrate betrays both boundless dedication and ambition. Yet, the band comes to their work from a place of humility. “We hope this album inspires likeminded creatives to chase their aspirations in the arts” says Squires. “Be it a desire to draw from past bodies of work we admire, or a yearning contribute to the canon, it is all attainable through persistence and creativity.”

Wild Buffalo Presents Dean Johnson with special guests Saturday, December 14th Wild Buffalo 7:30pm doors | 8:30pm show | 21+ Not long after crossing beyond the neon into Al’s Tavern, one might catch murmurs drifting up and down the bar during Dean Johnson’s bartending shifts – nudges and whispers that he might just be the best songwriter in town. “Wait ’til you hear him sing. Just don’t ask him to do it, because he won’t. He might do another show this year, but probably not.” Al’s regulars, howsoever biased, speak of his talent like a family secret – Seattle folklore. How many times, and for how many years, has Dean elusively replied to some variation of the question, “When will there be a record?”The phrase “hidden gem” would seem appropriate here, but it’s a misnomer when talking about Dean Johnson. He shines bright, in plain sight, and it was only a matter of time before people stopped to take a look. Dean’s gentle and passionate approach to songwriting has inspired many, and his work provides the listener the opportunity to believe once more that a song can be more than the sum of its parts. If you catch even a phrase of his melodies or the sobering tone of his voice, it waltzes its way into your heart like a letter written, signed, sealed, and delivered just for you.His debut album Nothing for Me, Please was recorded at Mashed Potato Records in New Orleans with the help of Sam Gelband and Charlie Meyer, Dean’s bandmates in The Sons of Rainier; as well as Mashed Potato regulars Sam Doores, Duff Thompson and Steph Green. The record is a hazy, relaxed daydream – anthems for those who know the sweetness and coldness of quiet moments, the power and the pain of love. Whether you’ve been waiting patiently these many for Dean to release these songs, or you’re just now coming across his work for the first time, the name Dean Johnson, much like his songs, won’t soon leave your mind.Nothing for Me, Please is out now on Mama Bird Recording Co.

White Rabbit Group Presents Bear Grillz with Pacific Rem, Wooki Goldberg, Bear Bass Saturday, January 11th Wild Buffalo 8pm doors | 8:30pm show | 21+ Since revealing himself on the Jerry Springer show back in 2016, Bear Grillz has gone above and beyond his bear persona. In 2019, he released his debut album, Demons, through Dim Mak. Featuring collaborations with Jared Watson and David Foral from Dirty Heads, Sullivan King and Kabaka Pyramid, the groundbreaking 12-track album established Bear Grillz as a producer willing to take big sonic risks, showcasing a musical cohesion of dubstep, future-bass, bass house, hip hop and reggae. Bear Grillz refined his sound even further in 2020 through a pair of back to back EPs, Reanimated and Ground Zero. In a print review of Reanimated, DJ Mag gave the work a flawless 10/10 rating, noting that the release is “technically almost perfect.” Bear Grillz’s carefully designed soundscapes and high energy concerts have made the Colorado-based musician one of the most in-demand performers in the dance music scene. He has sold out shows across 14 countries and rocked major festivals around the globe, including Electric Zoo, Lost Lands, EDC Orlando and HARD Summer. Last year he co- headlined the massive Global Dub Festival at Red Rocks alongside Adventure Club. When he’s not on tour, Bear Grillz can be seen keeping it local in his hometown, where he’s becoming a frequent special guest performer at Denver Nuggets NBA games.

Wild Buffalo Presents Shook Twins &amp; Glitterfoxspecial guests Wild Buffalo 8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+ Shook Twins BioIt just happened.&nbsp; Perhaps, it could be attributed to cosmic design, good old-fashioned magic, or the unspoken, yet understood bond all twins share. One day back in 2007, identical twin sisters Katelyn Shook [vocals, guitar] and Laurie Shook [banjo, vocals] found themselves writing, recording, and performing as Shook Twins. To their recollection, the pair never hatched a plan or even properly discussed it.&nbsp; Hundreds of shows, four albums and 2 EPs later, the duo continue to tread this path. “Neither of us remember a time where we planned things out, it all unfolded naturally,” affirms Katelyn. “We simply started to play out and call ourselves Shook Twins, because that’s simply who we are.” “We never set specific goals either,” adds Laurie. “We talk about our hopes and dreams, but we’ve just let everything grow organically with the band. We’ll see what happens next.” Since their 2008 debut You Can Have The Rest, Shook Twins have conjured up dreamy folk with ghostly traces of Americana tradition uplifted by transcendently hummable melodies and lilting cinematic instrumentation. Along the way, legendary New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman, USA Today, Langhorne Slim, Mason Jennings, and more fell under their spell and publicly professed adoration.&nbsp; Simultaneously, they’ve graced legendary stages such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Gregory Alan Isakov and Ani DiFranco in addition to sharing bills with The Lumineers, The Head and the Heart, Sarah Jarosz, The Wood Brothers, and many others. Not to mention, they’ve carved a home for themselves after playing Northwest String Summit and Oregon County Fair over ten times each as well as appearing at High Sierra Music Festival, Lightning In A Bottle, Bumbershoot, Hulaween, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Electric Forest, Summer Camp Music Festival, and beyond. During 2012, the band welcomed multi-instrumentalist and “everything dude” Niko Slice on guitar, mandolin, and bass. Rounding out the sound (and the family) further, keyboardist and bassist Aber Miller joined the fold in 2018. Additionally, they welcome a rotating quiver of dynamic drummers, namely Alex Radakovich, Darren Garvey, and Simon Lucas. “We essentially morph into different settings,” observes Katelyn. “We can be a mellow duo, folk-rock club band, or weird late-night band. We love this sense of musical diversity.” Honing their vision like never before yet again, the group reached a critical and creative high watermark with 2019’s Some Good Lives. The standout “Stay Wild” generated nearly 4 million total streams. In addition to praise from Glide Magazine, Relix, and more, Paste praised, “Shook Twins have real sonic versatility,” while Atwood Magazine hailed it as “a record of musical and emotional maturity that goes beyond in nearly every aspect of the word.” Popmatters put it best, “‘Some Good Lives’ is as affirming as it is magical.” After a quiet 2020, Shook Twins take another step forward in 2021, writing their next chapter. As always, each album, song, and show services a higher calling for the group. “For us, music is a way to give back,” states Laurie. “It’s wonderful when our songs help someone through something. At each show, we have an offering to give. It’s our way to hopefully bring joy to people.” “When we play, it’s a night for everyone to escape,” Katelyn concurs. “We all need that as humans—maybe now more than ever.” Whether or not they plan to, Shook Twins foster a lasting bond with listeners worldwide as familiar and familial as their own. “When you listen to us, we want you to remember how to feel more comfortable in your own skin,” they agree. “That goes beyond the show. We hope you walk away feeling more like yourself, because we’re fully ourselves on stage. We’re not shy. We have a sense of humor. We don’t ever take ourselves too seriously. We have fun up there. That’s our message through the music.” Glitterfox Bio The Portland band Glitterfox has released five singles in just six months under their new record label Kill Rock Stars, with two more singles arriving this spring. The band’s been growing steadily since “Drive” came out in August 2023, with their indie rock cocktail that deftly balances nostalgia-fueled anthems with Southern shine. The four-piece band’s songwriters and frontpersons, married couple Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, have always channeled their personal struggles as well as experiences as queer, neurodivergent individuals into their songwriting. Bassist Eric Stalker and drummer Blaine Heinonen bring a love of Americana, grunge, and dance music into the mix. All of these influences can be heard on the band’s latest singles, produced by Chris Funk of The Decemberists, and in their spirited live shows as they prepare for their full-length album debut in 2025.

Wild Buffalo PresentsThe Motet with special guests Thursday, January 30th Wild Buffalo 7:30pm doors | 8:30pm show | 21+ Formed over two decades ago, the funk six-piece <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://themotet.com">The Motet</a> have learned to work as an interlocking unit, with each member bolstering one another towards the best creative output.

Wild Buffalo Presents The Dirty Nil with Grumpster, Bug Bath Tuesday, February 25th Wild Buffalo 7pm doors | 8pm show | 21+ If there’s one rule people should follow when approaching the Dirty Nil, it’s this: Never tell them how to rock ‘n’ roll. Ontario’s Juno Award-winning trio is a finely tuned rock machine that is at its best when the members are pursuing their penchant for thrashy riffs, bashed out drums, and levels-to-the-max volume. And on their fourth album, Free Rein to Passions, the band followed their instincts down to the note to produce their most authentic work to date.The Nil’s back-to-basics approach was a direct reaction to their previous record, 2021’s Fuck Art, a creative process that brought too many industry people whispering in the band’s ears, telling them how to polish and tweak their songs to fit on the radio or streaming playlists or whatever other arbitrary whims the modern music machine demands. “There were all these expectations and pressures, people telling us to try this or that,” says frontman Luke Bentham. “We’re by no means the biggest band in the world, but in our ecosystem it became hard to try to make all these people happy. We were given challenges, and I think we met them, but getting to that place, it made me realize: ‘If we go any further in this direction, then I don't know what we’re doing anymore.’ It had gotten to a point where the creation wasn't very fun.”In order to incinerate their apparatus, they had to destroy it completely. So as soon as Fuck Art was in the can, the Nil got back to having fun and doing what they love. They jammed away in their practice space for weeks, not overthinking anything or taking any external input. They didn’t sweat the small details or fret over transitions and arrangements. Less second guessing, more reckless abandon. It’s the same approach to rock they’ve taken since they were kids. “We had the best time pulling these songs together. It made me feel like a teenager in my parents’ basement again,” Bentham says. What came out was the appropriately titled Free Rein to Passions, a palate cleanser for the Dirty Nil, and a reminder for them to stick to the fundamentals of rock and stay true to themselves. “What was it LCD Soundsystem said about trading in guitars for turntables and synthesizers?” Bentham laughs. “I’d say that’s unlikely for us.”Their youthful rock-worship approach is immediately apparent on the album’s opener “Celebration,” which cuts in via a chugging metal riff, a subtle ode to one of the Nil’s influences, Power Trip’s late frontman Riley Gale. From there, the band indulges their loudest, gnarliest inclinations, making casual nods to their more chaotic favorites, including everything from the Jesus Lizard to the Blood Brothers. And on the album’s catchiest single, “Nicer Guy,” the Nil reminds listeners that they also still wield the power to stitch a perfect, infectious pop hook into their rock fabric.Free Rein to Passions keeps things simple lyrically as well, and doesn’t get bogged down with overly complicated messaging. Nothing overwrought, nothing didactic. Just songs about workingsoul-sucking jobs, shredding on guitar, and striving to be a kinder person. “The only real central theme of the album is an acknowledgment of the crazy circumstances that we all occupy at this point in time, and being nice,” Bentham stresses. “It’s about being nice to everyone around you, and enjoying your silly little life and not getting too smashed down by prevailing negativity in the air.”The Nil again recruited longtime collaborative producer John Goodmanson to capture their sound at Jukasa Media on Ontario’s Six Nations Reserve. They also brought in new blood with bassist Sam Tomlinson, a friend and fellow product of the Dundas scene. “In some ways it feels like going back to our roots in Dundas, and Sam knows what that’s like,” adds drummer Kyle Fisher. “He’s cut from the same cloth as Luke and I.” That hometown feeling was the inspiration for the song “Blowin’ Up Things in the Woods,” an ode to the simple joys of fireworks, explosions, and pyrotechnic annihilation.Staring into the abyss of entertainment serfdom, the trio spat on it. They smashed the chalice of poison brought to their lips, grinding the shards under their heels. A rock and roll band is part religion, part small business and part pirate ship. Sabres were wielded and planks were walked for The Dirty Nil to bring Free Rein to Passions into this world. It was a battle well worth fighting.

The Dirty Nil

LNE Presents BAYNKwith special guests Friday, February 28th 2024 8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+ Jock Nowell-Usticke once aspired to make sunny electronic music meant for summer festivals and poolside hangs, intimate dance songs that glittered with bright-eyed wonder and smiling charm. As an engineering student in New Zealand, he played saxophone and keys in a band but became increasingly drawn to big-tent dance acts like Skrillex and Flume, whose production wizardry Jock thought transcended his classically trained skillset. Shortly after downloading Ableton, however, he released a few downtempo electronic songs under the alias BAYNK and soon garnered a large, devoted fanbase, as well as a reputation as one of the most promising young talents in electronic music. Now, ten years into his career, BAYNK has netted hundreds of millions of streams, sold-out international tour dates, festival-headlining sets, and a Grammy nomination, establishing himself as a quietly visionary artist who continues to expand his sound and aesthetic palate with each new project.BAYNK takes another massive leap forward on his terrific sophomore album, SENESCENCE, a record he sees as a spiritual successor to his full-length 2021 debut, ADOLESCENCE. While the latter reveled in the heartbreak and immediacy of youth, the former looks to the future, grappling with themes of loss, love, death, and connection. “SENESCENCE is the other side of the coin, about time and the passing of it and the realisations that physical life is not forever—the acute awareness of one’s own biological vulnerability, and with that, a greater appreciation for the true richness of life.” Such an ambitious and amorphous concept could lend itself to platitudes, BAYNK acknowledges, but his scrupulous songwriting and deeply idiosyncratic production resists clichés. “I’m constantly avoiding trying to sound cliché,” he says. “But the majority of the time a cliché is just how it really is.”Across 10 songs, SENESCENCE announces itself as a daring, dynamic fusion of pop, deep house, contemporary club, funk, and ambient; it instantly stands out as BAYNK’s most fully realised and sonically sophisticated work to date. “It took a long time for my output to catch up with my taste,” he said. “For a long time I felt like I was listening to as much music as I could and learning about how it was made and its history.” If ADOLESCENCE caught BAYNK attempting “to create the perfect festival lineup” from his youth, SENESCENCE finds him exploring the uncharted parameters of his adult artistry, pulling inspiration from the likes of Caribou and Toro y Moi to capture gnarled moments of anxiety, openhearted longing, and searing vulnerability with expressive textures, tempos, and melodies.After touring ADOLESCENCE around the world—a thrilling yet tumultuous experience, he admits—BAYNK retreated to London in 2022 to begin working on another project. As the conceptual framework and track list for SENESCENCE began to materialise, his ears spontaneously started ringing for days and weeks at a time without end. He was eventually diagnosed with tinnitus, a condition he continues to struggle with. “It just came on one day and hasn’t stopped,” he says. “At the time I thought, ‘It’s over. I won’t be able to listen to mixes the same because I’ll constantly hear this mosquito in my ear clashing with the frequencies.’” Learning to live with tinnitus has been strange and painful, but BAYNK says that his brain has slowly acclimated to the unsettling sensation.One of the key evolutions for BAYNK on SENESCENCE is his improved songwriting. “This album’s a lot more focused on lyricism and stories as opposed to just being dance tracks,” he says. “The songs still have the DNA of dance music, but the album is mostly concerned with love, friendship, and death—I wanted to reflect that in the writing.” While BAYNK has always been able to distil strongimages and intense emotions in his music, his past lyrics often scanned as cue points that listeners could project themselves onto. On SENESCENCE, he challenged himself to evoke the album’s core themes with greater narrative precision: “I haven’t been a strong songwriter in the past or even cared about it that much. It’s always just been melody and beat for me.” he says. “I’m now really precious about the words in my songs. It has to mean something.”The skittery, restless early album highlight “Fool For You” epitomises BAYNK’s ability to thread evocative writing into electrifying production. “I don’t trust you anymore, you don’t love me like before,” he sings in a double-timed warble over a disjointed drum loop. “I used to be the sort of person who would obsess over people I was in relationships with. I would become a chameleon to their needs and change myself,” he recalls. “‘Fool For You’s’ about the contortion of oneself emotionally to make a relationship work, even when it might not.” Whether it’s the naturalistic imagery deployed to mourn his late grandmother on “What Am I Going to Do With You” or the celebration of romantic commitment on “Lonely World,” BAYNK’s moving descriptions meld brilliantly with his detail-rich, assured production.Although longtime friends and collaborators The Nicholas, Joe Mason, and Golden Vessel offer their hand to some of SENESCENCE’s instrumentation and production, BAYNK is the only vocalist on the album. “As much as I love collaboration, the most enticing thing for me has always been that I can control everything,” he says. “I can have my hand in the visual, writing, singing, and producing. I love collaboration, but you do lose a little creative freedom when someone else sings your songs.” Making this album between London, Paris, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and Hawkes Bay, BAYNK flitted between flats and studios, making beats and writing songs with the help of a Crumar Seven 73-Key Electric Piano, which he played on a bulk of the album and made him “fall back in love with playing keys.”SENESCENCE is more stylistically varied than BAYNK’s previous projects. There’s hardly a wasted motion, never a stray move. Beyond the stirring emotional tracks there are plenty of punchy strobe-lit anthems that’ll satiate long-time fans. “Mr. Jocko” and “When I Think About Us” are primed to set dancefloors on fire, especially during his upcoming tour. “The album encapsulates the experience I want in a live show and the stories that I want to tell about my life, both now and in the future,” he says. As is consistent with BAYNK’s oeuvre, astonishing visual content will accompany the release of new music, including music video drops for each single. With SENESCENCE, BAYNK once again proves his singular identity and persistent growth as an artist.

Wild Buffalo Presents Yot Club x Vundabar with special guests Tuesday, March 25th 2025Wild Buffalo 7pm doors | 8pm show | 21+ Yot ClubFor decades the bright lights of New York have drawn artists to its storied city streets — thoseseeking their tribe, those looking to solidify their identity, and those hungry for inspiration and freshencounters, all there for the taking on this new, broadened horizon. And now 26-year-old RyanKaiser has joined those ranks, moving from Nashville to Brooklyn, at the tail-end of 2022. Except,unlike so many who have come before him, Kaiser’s already made a name for himself creatingdaydreamy, sun-blasted, Polaroid-pop as Yot Club.With Yot Club’s second full-length, Rufus, Kaiser is expanding his sonic palette and challenging hisown established modes of music making by letting collaborators in. The record includes co-writeswith the likes of Tommy English (Carly Rae Jepsen, Kacey Musgraves), and singers Charli Adams andHarrison Lipton, with Patrick Wimberly (Lil Yachty, Joji, Blood Orange, MGMT) on mixing duties, and the result is a collection of songs that sounds bolder and brighter. From theshimmering surf-pop of opener “Stuntman,” to the minor chord angst and quiet-loud-quiet pulse of“New Day,” to The Strokesian swoon of album closer “Lazy Eyes,” Kaiser lo-fi hooks have a newcinematic scope.But let’s rewind to 2019 when his music first captured the ears and imagination of listeners thanks tothe song “YKWIM?” off his Bipolar ep, one of three EPs he released that year alone. Newly graduatedand still living in his college town of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, it was a pivotal year for Kaiser.Seemingly out of nowhere the streams on “YKWIM?” started climbing: 500k streams a day soonballooning to a million. Unbeknownst to Kaiser, his song — which is now 2x RIAA Platinum — hadbecome a go-to sad song for nostalgia-centric TikToks. The virality didn’t stem from a dance craze. Itwas about a vibe.The knock-on effect was every major label came calling, but for Kaiser, signing his music away for 25years in exchange for an non-recoupable advance was a hard no. Ultimately, Kaiser signed withAmuse, a distro company-turned-label, where he retained ownership of his masters and gained theirfull support for his vision. Kaiser followed 2020’s Nature Machine EP with 2022’s Santolina EP, andthen, in 2023, he released his debut album off the grid and the EP amateur observer. Not to mentiona ton of loosies including “LAUREN” with spill tab, and “Safe House” with Jordana, releases whichunderscore his newfound explorations in collaboration.Nostalgia is an oft-used descriptor too, but it’s one that Kaiser’s unafraid to lean into — “I don’t likeanything that sounds like it was made now,” he notes — with his own song titled, “Nostalgia,”ringing out like the perfect soundtrack to a movie montage directed by John Hughes (with just apinch of The Postal Service). And then there’s “Drowning,” written with Charli Adams, whereKincaid’s razored guitars recall Bloc Party. With production credits including MGMT, Solange, and LilYachty’s latest LP, Patrick Wimberly mixing brings a different dimension to Yot Club’s sound.There’s an economy to Kaiser’s songwriting, a feel-it, sing-it straightforwardness that cuts to themeat of the matter, with his titles often providing the jumping off point, like lead single “Pixel.” Withits ticking urgency and cascading guitar line, it was written and recorded in two days with producerTommy English, and features Kaiser on live, looped drums, with additional slide guitar. “That song’sabout getting caught up in your own life and technology in relation to self-importance and how yousee yourself,” offers Kaiser. “It’s never been harder to appreciate your own circumstances than it istoday because you can play the comparison game. It’s a complicated dynamic: the people whoselives look the best can often suck, ’cos why else would they go to such efforts to make it look like theirlives are great!”Then there’s “Human Nature,” written with artist Harrison Lipton, who also plays in the bandMICHELLE and happens to live down the street. Written and recorded at Lipton’s parents’ 100+ year-old Connecticut house, Kaiser describes it as a driving-down-the-Pacific-Coast-Highway kind of tune.But those sunny sonics belie the melancholic inevitability of so many splits: the lover you spent everyday with can eventually turn into someone you don’t recognize at all. “This album is not meant toserve as an eloquent story where there’s characters and side characters and betrayal andheartbreak,” he says. “It’s just 13 separate episodes that restart and don’t necessarily match eachother, but I wanted to give it a character to wrap it all together.”Rufus is not exactly Ryan Kaiser, but these snapshots capture the essence of his experiences: a badrelationship and fresh realizations; leaving it all behind to try and find footing in a shiny new city thatmaybe isn’t exactly the imagined, mythologized creative utopia. It continues Kaiser’s coming of age— looking back, picking it all apart, trying to work it all out, and constantly pushing forward.Vundabar Vundabar is a Boston-based trio that delivers jangly, fuzzed-out math-and surf-tinged indie rock shot through with plenty of post-punk spirit. Formed in 2013 by vocalist/guitarist Brandon Hagen and drummer Drew McDonald while still in high school, the duo eventually recruited bassist Zack Abramo and began playing locally. Sporting a melody-rich blend of knotty folk and loud-soft-loud indie rock à la Beantown luminaries Pixies, Vundabar issued their debut album, Antics, in late 2013. They adopted a grittier tone on 2015's Gawk, which added grungy post-punk to the mix. The cathartic and dense Smell Smoke arrived in 2018, delivering an earworm-heavy set that was both bracing and sincere, and in 2020 the trio released the tight and succinct Either Light, which saw them working with a producer, Patrick Hyland (Mitski), for the first time. In 2021, online snippets of fans singing along to the group's 2015 single "Alien Blues" flooded social media, which garnered millions of streams for the seven-year-old cut. Devil for the Fire, Vundabar's wide-ranging fifth studio effort, appeared the following year.

Joe Pug is an American singer-songwriter from Greenbelt, Maryland. He has released two EPs, as well as the albums Messenger, The Great Despiser, Windfall, The Flood in Color, and The Diving Sun.While working as a carpenter in Chicago after dropping out of the University of North Carolina, Pug wrote and recorded what would eventually become his debut EP, Nation of Heat. Its literate lyrics received widespread acclaim and Pug's unorthodox promotional strategy of distributing free CDs to anyone interested in sharing his music resulted in the EP selling over 20,000 copies. After touring with Steve Earle in 2009, Pug was signed by Nashville indie label Lightning Rod Records and released Messenger in 2010. After moving to Austin, Pug released The Great Despiser in 2012.Pug's acclaimed narrative songwriting has led critics to draw comparisons between his work and that of John Prine[3] and Bob Dylan.[4] His stated influences include John Hiatt, Warren Zevon, and Beck,[5] as well as literary figures such as John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck,[6] Raymond Carver and most notably, Walt Whitman.[7]

Wild Buffalo Presents Dirtwire with special guests Friday, May 9th 2025Wild Buffalo 8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+ Dirtwire stands poised between ancient Mother Earth and modern technology, a blend of ethnomusicology and the psychedelic trance state, gut-bucket delta blues and what the band variously dubs “back-porch space cowboy blues, swamptronica, and electro-twang.” It’s a sound informed by Dirtwire’s travels and performances around the globe, where East meets West and North joins South. From the favelas in Brazil, Femi Kuti’s Shrine in Lagos, Tokyo’s bluegrass clubs, Ayahuasca ceremonies in Central America, Gamelan performances in Bali, desert festivals in the Australian Outback, and the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s modernized new capital Astana, the band spreads its message by building bridges across musical cultures in their own unique way. Dirtwire plays an array of instruments both ancient and modern, including West African kamale ngonis, jaw harps, space fiddles, whamola basses, Rickenbacher electric 12 string guitars, bowed Banjos and mouth harps from around the globe, all interwoven into modern laptop beat creation. Hailing from the underground west coast electronic bass music scene Dirtwire finds itself at the forefront of experimental electronic music production mixing in their wide array of world instruments with sampled beats and 808’s. Dirtwire’s live shows are a communal psychedelic journey, ranging from down home boot stomping get downs, to bass and blues electronic mashups, to ethereal cinematic beat driven soundscapes. Woven into each is the exploration of where live instruments meet computer production, and where tradition meets experimentation.&nbsp;

Wild Buffalo Presents Mason Jennings ‘early evening with show’ Friday, November 15th Wild Buffalo 6pm doors | 7pm show | 21+ Minneapolis songwriter&nbsp;Mason Jennings&nbsp;shares his new video for the single, “Only Lovers Welcome” from his brand new album,&nbsp;Underneath The Roses&nbsp;out now via Loosegroove Records.&nbsp;Underneath The Roses&nbsp;is available on limited-edition colored vinyl and is available&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://orcd.co/underneaththeroses">here</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Watch and share the video for “Only Lovers Welcome”&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJViLOk_zLQ">here</a>. &nbsp;Jennings writes that the songs from&nbsp;Underneath The Roses&nbsp;were, “Written in an unprecedented burst,” following the birth of his son, Western, in March 2022. Jennings explains, “I hadn’t written any songs in about a year. I had been dealing with the psychological after effects of the pandemic as well as the loss of my dad. So, when Western was born I didn’t expect to be writing much. But immediately he was responding to music in a very intense way. For this album, between May and November 2022, I wrote 48 songs! They certainly uplifted me and connected me with the creative spirit, and spirit in general, again. They cover all kinds of ground but, when I listen back, I think the central theme is overcoming fear with love.”Jennings also released a video for, “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh-0oVTuLaQ">No Ordinary Friend</a>,” which he explains, “Depicts two of the most important decisions a person can make. One, whether or not they believe in a loving higher power and two, who they decide to choose as a life long romantic partner. This song is referring to both of those and the choices I’ve made.”"Stone Gossard and Regan Hagar from Loosegroove Records helped me edit the 48 down to 11. I then enlisted the help of my Painted Shield bandmates to record the songs.”&nbsp;Jennings and Gossard are ongoing collaborators in the band Painted Shield, who released their 2021 debut album on Loosegroove, the influential indie label that Gossard founded back in 1994 issued records from acts such as Critters Buggin, Malfunkshun, Weapon of Choice and Devilhead, and was the launching point for Queens of the Stone Age’s debut album in 1998.&nbsp;Jenning’s previous album ‘Real Heart’ came out in January 2022 and received Triple/Non-comm radio across KCMP Minneapolis, WFPK Louisville, WPYA Birmingham, KRCL Salt Lake City, WMMM Madison, WQKL Ann Arbor, KCSN LA, KRVB Boise, WCLZ Portland, WDSE Duluth, WRLT Nashville, WXPN Philly, WXRV Boston, &amp; WZEW Mobile.&nbsp;&nbsp;Press highlights include:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://americansongwriter.com/mason-jennings-shares-his-life-on-new-lp-real-heart/">American Songwriter</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://relix.com/blogs/detail/mason-jennings-shares-video-from-forthcoming-album-real-heart/">Relix</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nodepression.com/album-reviews/album-review-mason-jennings-reconnects-with-real-heart/">No Depression</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/mason-jennings-announces-new-album-real-heart-out-february-4th">Grateful Web</a>,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://takeeffectreviews.com/may-2022-2/2022/5/15/mason-jennings">Take Effect 9/10 review</a>, &amp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://jambands.com/features/2022/05/29/mason-jennings-drinking-the-ocean/">Jam Bands</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Jennings adds “I called it&nbsp;Underneath The Roses&nbsp;because I feel like these songs are musical roses and when I look below them there are many thorns and so much dirt and soil. All of it was needed for them to come into existence and bloom. It’s been a long hard road of self-discovery and discernment for me the last few years and the roses wouldn’t be here without what lies underneath. Hope you enjoy the music!”&nbsp;

Wild Buffalo PresentsSam Grisman ProjectThursday, November 14thWild Buffalo8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+The music that my father David Grisman and his close friend, Jerry Garcia, made in the early 90s (in the house that I grew up in) is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded, it also triggers my oldest and fondest musical memories. What I find most inspiring about this material is the way their camaraderie and their love and joy for the music, simply oozes out of each recording. It is also impressive how deeply they get beneath their favorite songs—whether they are originals, covers or traditional/old time tunes—and how expertly that material was curated.My goal in starting Sam Grisman Project is to build a platform for my friends and me to showcase our genuine passion and appreciation for the legacy of Dawg and Jerry’s music. By playing some of their beloved repertoire and sharing the original music that our own collective has to offer, we will also show the impact that this music has had on our own individual &nbsp;musical voices. Ultimately, there is nothing that makes me&nbsp;happier than playing great songs with my best friends and my hope is to share that happiness with audiences all over!<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/6zkQCtFCqgSUUVgyotaKSg?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Welcome to Bellingham Exit -- now that the seatbelt sign has been turned off, please feel free to exit the ordinary, enter the extraordinary, and move about the cabin.&nbsp;Full Weekend Bellingham Exit Passes:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/Bham_exit2024"> https://bit.ly/Bham_exit2024</a><h2 style="text-align: start">~More on DJ Craze~</h2>If the first thing you know about Craze is that he's the only solo DJ to win the DMC World Championships 3 times over, prepare to get yourself schooled. From day one, every uphill battle that Craze faced was met with intense adversity; every kick while he was down only served to help him rise up even stronger. You want proof? Fine.His family fled Nicaragua for the US when he was 3 in the midst of a civil war and suffered through Hurricane Andrew in '92. Craze was a total nerd through his teenage years. But while others would chalk this up to a lifetime of hurt, Craze let it fuels his passion. By the age of 20, Craze had won his first DMC World Championship. Two more consecutive wins later, he was (and remains to this day) the only three-time winner of the world's most respected international DJ competition, the DMC World Championship - earning the attention of Time Magazine who proclaimed him "America's Best DJ." From Jamaica to Australia, Japan to Nicaragua, Craze has toured the world over, stunning audiences and DJs alike with his top-notch showmanship and masterfully genre-bending sets.One of those worldwide treks happened to be Kanye West's 2008 Glow In The Dark Tour, where Craze accompanied West as his stage DJ across the globe. Always evolving, Craze founded Slow Roast Records with Kill The Noise, an imprint of the infamous Fool's Gold Records (A-Trak, Kid Cudi, Danny Brown) in 2010. With two releases in 2012 - the Selekta EP and Deeper with Codes, he didn't slow down and instead in April of 2015, released a 4 track EP with the title track called "Baby Gurl" featuring a young superstar on the rise named Troyboi. The EP also boasted a bonus track with Miami rap legend Trick Daddy called "Bow Down". As if that wasn't enough it was also the year, that he brought us one of the most prolific DJ routine videos to date: "New Slaves".2018 brought the release of his EP entitled K.O.S. Knowledge of Self on Slow Roast Records and his Master Class routine video for Serato, "I Got The Juice" where he revealed not just his DJ skills, but his comedic chops, which begs the question, is there anything Craze can't do? With remixes such as Tchami’s “Proud” and “Yangmei” on Vision Recordings, Craze has set his sights on furthering his work in production and putting out music under Slow Roast. Always humble and putting the performance above all else, Craze has earned his place as an international ambassador of the art of real djing. So when someone asks you "Whatchu know about DJ Craze?", feel free to let them know a thing or two.<h2 style="text-align: start">~More on Wake the Town~</h2>Wake the Town is a longstanding dance floor-driven event series rooted in Portland, Oregon.

Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions, recorded live in studio by the band’s founder, Brandon Hardesty, showcases the songwriting prowess that has been a constant pillar of the band’s music since its inception. Consisting of 16-tracks, the LP introduces seven new songs never before heard and nine fan favorites that have been stripped down to raw, poignant, gut-punching versions that differ from the fast-paced guitar riffs, pulsing drums, and dynamic horn sections of the originals.&nbsp;“Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions is an anthem for authenticity. It’s for all the artists that choose to embrace their passion as a form of art, rather than a transactional medium. A celebration of the imperfections that make us beautiful”, frontman and singer/songwriter, Hardesty conveys.&nbsp;Distributed via Silverback’s independent record label, Controlled Substance Sound Labs, Underdog: The Acoustic Sessions maintains the DIY ethos that is the foundation of Bumpin Uglies.<hr>Since the early 2000s, Bumpin Uglies have been carving their own path; channeling their tenacious and relentless attitude into their meticulous craft. Rejecting conventional norms, Bumpin Uglies has established a distinctive sound that is a perfect reflection of their Mid-Atlantic roots - gritty, down-to-earth, and bursting with charisma.&nbsp;With a genre-defying approach that seamlessly fuses punk energy with ska's infectious grooves and reggae's laid-back rhythms, Bumpin Uglies creates a musical experience that captivates audiences far and wide. Their live performances are legendary, infusing the crowd with an electrifying energy that leaves no one untouched.&nbsp;The band's influences are as diverse as their sound, drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Sublime, which is evident in their sun-soaked melodies and carefree spirit. Meanwhile, Hardesty embraces the lyrical depth and storytelling dexterity of artists like John Prine, The Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, and Sturgill Simpson, weaving heartfelt tales of life's struggles, triumphs, and the beauty found within the chaos.&nbsp;Bumpin Uglies have been garnering a dedicated following over the course of its multi-decade career. Remaining true to their craft and never compromising their vision or principles, the loyal fanbase, Uglies Nation, is an inviting tight-knit community, sharing a connection that extends beyond the music, built on mutual respect and undying love for the band's genuine spirit.&nbsp;With multiple nationwide headlining tours under their belt and countless sold-out shows in venues that have increased in capacity over the years, the band is on a fast-paced upward trajectory. Their previous album, Mid-Atlantic Dub, made waves in the industry, reaching #3 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart and #21 on the Billboard Heatseeker Albums chart, solidifying their position as a prominent force in the music industry. The band has graced the stages of renowned festivals such as Cali Roots, Cali Vibes, Everwild, Great South Bay, Reggae Rise Up, and the 311 Cruise, captivating audiences time and time again. The band took their passion for music to the next level by curating and hosting their own festival, Weekend at Wolfies, further demonstrating an unwillingness to shy away from elbow grease.&nbsp;Bumpin Uglies cannot be pigeonholed. Their extensive discography is a testament to that. The band uses its platform to call out villains, spread awareness, and share personal stories. Their songs speak truth and in a world that often feels manicured, Bumpin Uglies unites people under the banner of music, reminding us there is beauty in realness.

Wild Buffalo Presents Grateful Shred &amp; Circles Around The Sun‘an evening with’ Wild Buffalo Sunday, September 15th 6pm doors | 7pm show | 21+ Grateful Shred After a meteoric rise from obscurity to a national touring band, Los Angeles-based Grateful Shred has made the most of its time in the spotlight. The lineup, featuring Dan Horne and Austin McCutchen alongside keyboardist Adam MacDougall woke the Grateful Dead cosmos with a unique laid-back harmony driven sound. The band literally went from playing the Shakedown Street vendor area prior to Dead and Company shows to touring the United States.The moment that sent the band’s popularity soaring is the “Busted at the Bowl” video, a YouTube video that features Shred members starting an impromptu set in the parking lot of the Hollywood Bowl before a Dead and Company show in 2017. They don’t get too far before drawing so much attention that the police shut them down. Instantly creating Shred-cred, this was a bit of good fortune that doesn’t get past McCutchen. “We’ve been dealt some pretty good cards,” he states. “It’s been cool to roll with it and push forward and continually make stuff happen. Things have gone our way. Even that video happened magically. It was put together at the last minute, and boom!”The thing is, Grateful Shred manage to channel that elusive Dead vibe: wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, Shredded solos. The look, the sound, the atmosphere. It’s uncanny. Far from being a historical re-enactment, Grateful Shred’s laissez faire vibe infuses the band with a gentle spirit, warmth, and (dare we say it) authenticity. From their killer merch game to their eminently watchable YouTube channel, they’re clearly having a rad time and spreading the love. Strangely enough, in a world overflowing with wax museum nostalgia and Deadly sentimentalism, we need the Shred, now more than ever. Grateful Shred is: Austine Beede, Dan Horne, Alex Koford, Zeph Ohora, Adam MacDougall, Austin McCutchen, John Lee ShannonCircles Around The Sun Originally formed from an idea that concert impresario Peter Shapiro had about commissioning original set-break music at the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary concerts (“Fare Thee Well”), Circles Around The Sun is a first-of-its-kind band that has continued to trail-blaze the instrumental cosmic disco space for nearly a decade, shapeshifting through several iterations. Not just spiritually but actually and tangibly linked to Grateful Dead history, the band’s music shares shelf space with post-rock, psych-rock, jazz-funk, and good old fashioned psychedelia, while their recorded output has included collaborations with such diverse luminaries as Joe Russo, Billy Strings and Mikaela Davis. Original instrumentals form the bedrock of CATS’ live show, taking fans on a whole different journey every time.

In this 11-song follow-up to 2021's critically acclaimed Pohorylle, family and nature intertwine as guiding motifs, at once precious and endangered, beautiful and exhausting. Cilker and Pohorylle producer Sera Cahoone brought most of that record's highly-acclaimed crew (studio players for The Decemberists, Band Of Horses, and Beirut) back to the studio with additional contributions from acclaimed Northwest traditionalist Caleb Klauder. Valley of Heart's Delight, Cilker's second record on Portland, Oregon label Fluff &amp; Gravy Records, has already racked up an impressive list of accolades and year-end picks and has paved the way for 2024’s extensive touring and festival appearances. Margo Cilker lives near the Columbia River in Goldendale, Washington with her husband, songwriter and working cowboy Forrest VanTuyl, as well their dog and some horses.

Wild Buffalo Presents Moontrickswith special guests Thursday, September 5th Wild Buffalo 8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+ Based in the rustic Kootenay mountains of Western Canada, Nathan Gurley and Sean Rodman of nationally renowned electro-folk duo Moontricks draw inspiration from the ongoing cycles of the natural world. Both volatile and constant—like nature’s best offerings—the band finds solace and beauty in the fusion of seemingly disparate elements. There’s a kind of technicolor campfire quality to their uniquely hybrid sound: Each track is steeped in tradition and polished with a futuristic sheen, mixing organic folk, roots rock, and old-time blues with modern electronic production. Since its initial release, the band’s breakout hit “Home” has reached over 5 million streaming plays, and their original tracks have been licensed for a wide range of television networks, including Netflix and Fox Sports. With the forthcoming release of their debut full-length album Currents, the duo reveals an ever-evolving, cohesive blend of introspective writing, soulful, gritty blues, boot-stomping basslines, and intricate electronic arrangements.Gurley and Rodman first connected at a music festival in rural BC, then collaborated on a series of rhythmic, instrumental soundscapes that eventually developed into their signature electro-folk sound. After dropping their debut single “Home” in 2013, they joined international tours and festivals in Australia, Costa Rica, and across the USA, gaining a loyal following for their dynamic live shows, which feature a rotating assortment of guitar, keys, banjo, and vocals accented with original electronic elements. Now poised to drop their debut album Currents on September 9, 2022 via Westwood Recordings, Moontricks honor the steadfast cycles of nature that carry the world forward, despite the chaos around and inside us. “The solace found in reaching past our personal confines into the vastness beyond them is something we return to again and again—in nature and in our music,” says lead singer and songwriter Rodman. Gurley, who focuses on production, views the album as a series of paths leading into unknown territory. Vast, intimate, and dazzling, Currents is an album about settling into feeling comfortably lost, and being okay with not knowing it all. It’s about finding joy and inspiration in the act of seeking.

This record is truly me bearing my heart. I needed to seclude myself to find out where these songs wanted to go, and having Parker’s musical guidance had a big hand in that.”&nbsp;This record, coupled with the band's last release All. Right. Now. is a maturing. A growing into the songwriter and musicians that the band was destined to be. A settled and firm foundation of influences and sound that brings every external aspect in and finds it internalized and distilled into “Flowers From the Fray”.

Nick Shoulders and The Okay Crawdadwith Chris AckerFriday, August 9th&nbsp;Wild Buffalo8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+&nbsp;<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/4Vydw38lzh6aKIGqzZdwRS?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>Nick Shoulders – All Bad All Bad, the latest album from Nick Shoulders, ultimately encapsulates everything that makes Shoulders’ inimitable form of country music so vital: a heady balance of dazzling musicianship and punk defiance, coupled with gritty eccentricity and a generational connection to the roots of the genre. With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music. In the spirit of Hazel Dickens and Jimmy Driftwood, the incisive yet wildly jubilant All Bad vocally objects to the reckless destruction of the natural landscape and development run rampant, while still offering plenty of joy and dance-ready rhythms. Spanning a variety of early country styles, the album’s infectious harmonies shine alongside everything from jangling cajun waltzes to surf-rock infused bluesy ballads–all tied together by a voice seemingly out of place in this century, yet ever ready to speak up about its problems.Released via Gar Hole Records (a label founded and co-owned by Shoulders), All Bad marks the first LP made with his longtime band, the Okay Crawdad, since 2019’s premier full-length Okay, Crawdad and their subsequent pandemic-imposed hiatus. After writing most of the album from the front seat of a tour van, the Fayetteville, AR-based musician and bandmates Grant D’Aubin (harmonies/bass), Cheech Moosekian (drums) and Jack Studer (lead guitar) recorded the album in a home studio on the banks of the Mississippi River with New Orleans collaborators Ross Farbe and Sam Doores.Surrounded by a singing style passed down from a time before microphones, Nick’s childhood of bird call whistles and an over-exposure to southern gospel music eventually steered him toward an adolescence drumming for metal and punk bands, and subsequent years as an active illustrator and member of Arkansas’s heavy music scene. After numerous personal calamities and a growing obsession with the rural musical traditions of his lifelong home, Shoulders left the Ozarks and lived out of his van, singing on the street corners of the west while slowly being drawn to the vibrance of the New Orleans dance and busking world. After forming in early 2018, the ‘Okay Crawdad’ band flourished briefly in the wildly talented south Louisiana alt-country scene, culminating in the release of ‘Rather Low’ by the popular YouTube channel Western AF, catapulting Nick’s songs to a vastly wider audience right as Covid-19 and lockdowns ensued. Since then, a rapid ascension into the world of touring music has seen Nick playing alongside the likes of Sierra Ferrell and at major festivals such as Stagecoach. With the hard rhythms and heavenly melodies of their newest release, All Bad, the band manages to concoct a body of work that is at turns sublimely freewheeling and profoundly illuminating, yet primed to permanently warp the listener’s perspective to glorious effect.

On his latest album, When I’m Called—his first LP for Fat Possum, and his first as a parent—Fussell returns to a well of music that holds lifelong sentimental meaning, loosely contemplating the passage of time and the procession of life’s unexpected offerings.&nbsp;&nbsp;The album was produced by James Elkington and mixed by Tucker Martine. In addition to Elkington, it features the playing of Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), Joe Westerlund (Bon Iver, Califone), and others. Blake Mills contributes guitars on several tracks. Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb provide backing vocals.&nbsp;“…Fussell is the rare contemporary to approach folk in its pure form, shunning self-penned compositions about bummer relationships to concentrate on material handed down from bygone, hardened times.” – The New Yorker&nbsp;“(Fussell) is one of the great magpies of American song, collecting forgotten, tarnished gems with a folklorist’s zeal… his renditions aren’t so much cover versions as composites…” – The Guardian&nbsp;“…maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now.” – Ann Powers, NPRRobin HolcombMany artists have mined the vast repertoire of early American music, but few with suchoriginality, poetic vision, and utterly unique harmonic language. Composer, pianist and vocalistRobin Holcomb’s music has been called “staggeringly beautiful” by the New York Times.Through her times sharecropping tobacco as a young woman, as an improvising pianist on NewYorks’ downtown scene in the 80s, and three decades of creating an utterly idiosycratic catalogof songs, Ms. Holcomb has created a singular canon as a composer. Her most recentcomposition, “Paradise”, was commissioned and performed by The Philadelphia Orchestra inOctober 2021.

Wild Buffalo Presents&nbsp;Vincent Neil Emerson&nbsp;with Serafima and The ShakedownsThursday, June 27th&nbsp;Wild Buffalo&nbsp;7:30pm doors | 8:30pm show | 21+&nbsp;<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/2TbbmB7fmmCN7rlOt1wHlC?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>Vincent Neil Emerson has become a staple among folk and country music fans nationwide, celebrated for his honest tales of life on the road, heartbreak, and struggles of all sorts. His first LP, Fried Chicken &amp; Evil Women, from 2019, established him as a refreshing voice in the modern country music landscape. The songs from that first album were charming and playful songs, but didn't reveal the entirety of Emerson's story.On his brilliant new album, The Golden Crystal Kingdom, Emerson transcends the role of a honky-tonk country singer and becomes a chronicler of his history. The album is a bold continuation of the story he tells on Vincent Neil Emerson, with songs like the title track exploring the feelings he was left with after his days spent playing in Texas honky-tonks and dancehalls, and the track "The Time of The Rambler," inspired by the early days of living in his car and busking on the streets.He was born and partly raised in East Texas, around his Choctaw-Apache family, and spent most of his life moving around the state. Raised by a single mother, he lost his father to suicide when he was nine. Emerson dealt with those feelings of abandonment and loss on his self-titled album, with the track "Learning to Drown" in particular.His grandmother and grandfather brought the family to Texas when Emerson's mother was a child, leaving their ancestral Choctaw-Apache homelands in Louisiana behind to try and build a better life for themselves and their children. Emerson always identified with his Native American roots, but it wasn't until 2021's self-titled album that he examined and tried to shed light on the devastating history of his tribe with the song "Ballad of the Choctaw Apache."Sonically, The Golden Crystal Kingdom finds Emerson expanding his scope into rock and roll territory, tapping into the storied sounds of folk music gone electric, and following in the footsteps of artists like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. On the album, Emerson retains his diamond-sharp storytelling while imbuing the work with a freewheeling rock and roll aesthetic, creating an album as fun as his live shows and as cathartic as his previous work.With production from Shooter Jennings, Emerson wanted to establish some sounds as touchstones but emphasized following his own intuition for the aesthetics of his record. "I didn't really want to model this record after anybody else's music, but I've been heavily influenced by a lot of old rock and roll music from the sixties and seventies singer-songwriter music," Emerson explains.The album wasn't necessarily created as an opposing force to the country and folk sounds his fans have come to expect, but he did want to make a record that showcased another side of himself as a writer. He also leaned on friends and collaborators like Jennings, Steve Earle, and Rodney Crowell to help him flesh out this album.Emerson has been able to call these one-time heroes friends and mentors, and it is these relationships that have helped the songwriter find his confidence in writing about his personal history and standing up for the causes he believes in. Emerson wrote "Man From Uvalde" after the horrific and tragic mass shooting in the city of Uvalde, Texas, and he was initially hesitant to include the track on The Golden Crystal Kingdom. "It's a daunting thing to try to dive into social issues in songwriting because I wasn't sure how people would really take it," Emerson says. "I recorded a rough demo version of the song, and I sent it to Steve [Earle]. I just wanted to get his thoughts on it and see if it was worth anything. He got back to me, and he said he really liked the song and thought it was great. He gave me a few ideas and ways to look at the subject differently, and it really helped me finish the song. That encouragement gave me the confidence to include it on the album."The Golden Crystal Kingdom also pays tribute to some of the peers Emerson cut his teeth with in the music scene. He covers the Charley Crockett song, "Time of the Cottonwood Trees," and is quick to pay tribute to his labelmate and dear friend Colter Wall. "Those two had my back since day one. They've been some of my biggest supporters, and they've always inspired me to write better songs and encouraged me to pursue this," Emerson reflects. "Especially at a time when I was starting out and I didn't really have a lot of encouragement or even self-confidence to do this, they were always there for me."As a kid who grew up in a trailer with a single mother, went through bouts of homelessness as a young man, and grinded through countless shows to get where he's at, Vincent Neil Emerson is never quick to praise his own work ethic. He always refers to the friends, family members, and collaborators who have shown their faith in his vision.But humility doesn't mean Emerson isn't one of the hardest working, most talented songwriters to emerge from the alt-country underground in years. His style is one of a kind, and his ability to blend tales of the everyman with tributes to his past, present, and future make him a peerless songwriter. On The Golden Crystal Kingdom, Vincent Neil Emerson carries on the torch of his singer-songwriter forebears while infusing the legacy with his unique and thrilling point of view.

Wild Buffalo PresentsMinnesotawith Abelation, Bassthoven, Hermit 8pm doors | 9pm show | 21+Friday, June 14thWild BuffaloTHE FINAL SHOW!!The man named after the land with 10,000 lakes has been a force on the bass scene for nearly a decade. Although he’s made a name for himself in the electronic music space, Minnesota’s (aka Christian Bauhofer) musical journey started with heavy doses of classic rock, emo and screamo. He was heavily influenced by the psychedelic style of rock legends including Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and cites them as inspiration for what would become his own sound. “The songs were journeys and I really like the epicness and the trip the song took you on,” he says.Spending most of his early life in Minnesota, It was not until Christian relocated to Santa Cruz, California in 2007 where he first discovered the underground electronic music scene via renegade parties that would be thrown in the redwoods of the Santa Cruz mountains. “That community / subculture was really my main influence into the music. A lot of other artists were immersed in the Santa Cruz community like G Jones, The Glitch Mob and Eprom. Crews would bring out a generator, Dj equipment and a few lights and play music until 10AM. We were really blown away.” Christian would soon throw his own renegade parties in Santa Cruz to provide himself with a forum to DJ. “I wanted to play music, but could never get booked, so I teamed up with some friends and we started to throw are own parties. I feel very lucky to have experienced this underground scene before electronic music and hit the mainstream.”&nbsp;
