Our city is home to a large population of deeply talented professional musicians working in every imaginable genre, and an even larger population of true music lovers eager to bask in the region\u2019s all-but-limitless live music offerings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"video\">\n<p>The Music Scene<\/p>\n<p>Our music scene is a deep and varied one, spanning such genres as funk, soul, jazz, rock, R&amp;B, hip-hop, pop, alternative rock, metal, punk, jam-band and indie-folk. Both legendary and up-and-coming artists like Dyke &amp; the Blazers, Grover Washington, Jr., Rick James, Brian McKnight, Talas, Billy Sheehan, Gamalon, Bobby Militello, Westside Gunn, Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, Green Jello, Every Time I Die, Cannibal Corpse, the Goo Goo Dolls, Moe., Aqueous, and Ani DiFranco represent the dizzying diversity of the musical melting pot that is Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>If you visit our city, you\u2019ll want to start your music-lover\u2019s vacation \u2013 or, if you\u2019re a resident of Western New York, your \u2018staycation\u2019 \u2013 with a few hours sampling the wares at one of our many independent record stores. Revolver Records has stores in the Hertel Avenue neighborhood, the Elmwood Village, and in East Aurora; Hi-Fi Hits serves the first-ring suburbs from its home on Main Street in Williamsville; Apples &amp; Oranges, run by legendary Buffalo musician George Puleo, offers a healthy blend of used and new vinyl in the village of Kenmore; and Doris Records \u2013 the very store that funk icon Rick James shopped in as a kid \u2013 has been operating on East Ferry Street since 1962. All of these stores represent Buffalo\u2019s independent spirit and resilient attitude, and all act as community hubs for our music scene.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center socialShareSection\"><strong>SHARE<\/strong>   <\/p>\n<p>Summer Live Music<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re visiting Buffalo during our glorious summer season, you\u2019ll find that our outdoor live music offerings are abundant.<\/p>\n<p>Artpark, located 25 miles north of Buffalo on the Niagara Gorge in Lewiston, boasts an incredible lineup of summer shows on its outdoor amphitheater stage, and fully stocks its indoor MainStage Theatre roster as well. The bucolic setting can make for a transformative live music experience, with bands performing against the backdrop of the Niagara Gorge, with Canada in full view across the river, and often stunning sunsets commingling with the performance to create something akin to magic. It has been suggested that Artpark is our region\u2019s own version of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, and a visit to the venue underscores such a notion.<\/p>\n<p>From contemporary indie to classic rock, alternative to funk and soul, jazz and classical to modern rock, Artpark\u2019s schedule keeps Buffalo music lover\u2019s busy during the summer months and is a mandatory stop for out-of-towners.<\/p>\n<p>The Buffalo Outer Harbor presents a seasonal lineup of national touring acts ranging from jam band to EDM and classical music to hip-hop on its Great Lawn site and will be expanding its schedule when the new permanent amphitheater project is completed in the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>From the weekly free local music showcase series Thursday &amp; Main, at Fountain Plaza in downtown Buffalo, to the <strong>Bidwell Parkway Concert Series<\/strong> in the Elmwood Village, annual festivals like Music is Art, Cobblestone Live and Borderland Music + Arts Festival, and more intimate waterside concerts at Old Man River in Tonawanda and Buffalo Riverworks, our region offers an embarrassment of riches to the discerning lover of outdoor concerts.<\/p>\n<p>And we certainly don\u2019t go into hibernation mode during the colder months. That\u2019s when the action moves indoors, to our abundant clubs, concert halls \u2013 like the beautiful acoustic marvel that is Kleinhans Music Hall, home of the Grammy Award-winning Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra \u2013 theaters like the historic Shea\u2019s Buffalo, and KeyBank Center, our primary downtown arena.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want your live music experience to stretch well into the evening hours, we\u2019ve got you covered, with a host of venues offering any musical idiom your heart might desire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center socialShareSection\"><strong>SHARE<\/strong>   <\/p>\n<p>The Town Ballroom<\/p>\n<p>681 Main St., Buffalo, NY<\/p>\n<p>Since opening in Buffalo\u2019s Theatre District in 2005, the Town Ballroom has become the premier concert venue of its size in the region.
