Benevento Russo Duo | 08.31.07 MP3′s & PICS
To grab this entire show in MP3 format click here. Last Thursday “The Duo” came on at roughly 5pm to a sparse crowd in downtown Buffalo. I was expecting a bigger crowd for these guys considering how well Buffalo has received the other jam bands that have played this summer. As time went on The Square slowly filled in. The Duo seemed to enjoy themselves regardless and put on a rocking set that they closed with an improvisational cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” To download the torrent for the flac files of this show click here.

Keller Williams | 08.09.07 | Buffalo
I missed the show this week at Lafayette Square as I was camping at Allegheny State Park for the week. I had planned on coming back on Thursday but I was having too much fun in the wilderness to make it back to town midweek. After listening to the show I’m kicking myself for not making it. I’m sure the hippies of Buffalo were glad to hear a few Greatful Dead jams including the encore “Women Are Smarter.” KW is one of a kind musician who has played jam festival Bonnaroo and Red Rocks. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to KW yet I’d highly recommend downloading this high quality set. The show…
Preview: Keller Williams 08.09.07
Keller Williams will be performing this Thursday as part of the free summer concert series here in upstate NY. For those of you who are not familiar with Keller Williams he hails from Fredericksburg, VA and plays a combination of folk music, bluegrass, and reggae, alternative, and funk.Keller puts on a unique performance by hooking his Gibson guitar into a Echoplex delay system. This allows him to create loops on stage so he can have the sound of an entire band while only performing by himself on stage. Instruments that he plays include the harmonica, trumpet, didgeridoo and a host of other assorted instruments.Be sure to check back this weekend for pics, show download information,…
Exclusive: John Butler Trio | Pics, MP3s, Video Review 8/2/07
Photo’s courtesy of youshisushi Last night was awesome once again. We were treated to our 5th free jam band of the summer courtesy of Buffalo Place at the “Thursday In The Square” concert series. The John Butler Trio jammed out for two solid hours. The set started with “I Used To Get High” at 7pm and closed out with a three song encore just after 9pm. The highlight of the show was a 6 minute drum solo in the middle of “Good Excuse” where drummer Michael Barker lit the crowd up. At one point I had to pull my head away from my video camera to check and see if there was a 2nd drummer…
Umphrey’s McGee | Live in Buffalo 5/31/07 MP3′s
One of the best show’s I’ve seen this year was Umphrey’s McGee. Quite a few of my friends have raved about this band and I had heard them quite a bit on Sirius but I was never really all that into them. That is until I saw them truly rock Lafayette Square in Buffalo. These guys have a unique electronic jam band sound unlike any other band on the scene. You can download the entire show at The Archive or click HERE to grab the zipped MP3′s of the show directly. To view pictures of the show check out the official Umphrey’s McGee gallery page.

Exclusive: YMSB – Buffalo Video
Yesterday was awesome. YMSB came on as the opener for the 21st Thursday In The Square free concert series in Buffalo, NY. YMSB loves playing this venue and repeatedly told the fans how grateful they were that we came out early and withstood the rain to watch them perform. As usual the crowd was really into the bands high energy bluegrass with everyone dancing and singing along.
