I would highly recommend checking out Martin Sexton, from Syracuse, he's amazing. I saw him at the Tralf with about 50 people. Incredible.

For our friends who do not know what "Thursday at the Square" or TATS is, read on. Its is located in Lafayette Square in Downtown Buffalo. I belive the shows start at 4 or 5. All shows are free. Concessions and beer work on a ticket system. You buy x amount of tickets and trade them in for food or drink. I would suggest getting there early as some prior acts have been know to draw in excess of 10,000 people! :thumb:

Also I hear that "Buffalo Rocks The Harbor" is having Foreigner and Tea Party! :thumb:
Can't wait!

Cheers!

Yeah Lance, its probably the best I've ever seen. They (meaning everybody but :twisted: politicians :twisted: ) are working real hard to get interest in Buffalo. I'm not sure if you listen to any US news, but the New York legislature just passed a $2 billion budget INCREASE. Including a .25% state sales tax increase, a proposal to tax non-Native Americans who buy gas and tobacco at Reservations, across the board state tax increase, and property tax increases to name a few. Its awful, Buffalo is considered by many to be the most depressed city in the state and this budget just made it that much worse. I really hope they can turn things around. Great music is one way to start! Big Grin
Sorry I went off on a rant, its been on my mind for a while and I needed a release. I know that there are areas much (well,...maybe not too much) worse than Buffalo. I love this area, but those damn lawmakers make it so difficult to stay. Thank God its Friday!

I know what you mean!! This area is very depressing sometimes!! Buffalo used to be such a beautiful and prosperous city!! Hopefully this will be a good summer for the city , you're right, music is a nice place to start :thumb:

I have heard the Buffalo has basically fallen apart. No jobs and no new business. Hopefully the economy will turn around soon.

Yeah, it is scary owning a business here also but luckily we have the internet business too... so that certainly helps :wink:
