The spring of 2019 is almost over and there has been some great bluegrass locally and on tour in Buffalo during the season.
Sideline from Raleigh, N.C., and Remmington Ryde from Pennsylvania played packed houses at the Clarence Akron Mennonite Church.
The Probables from the Southern Tier brought their great Blue Heron dance music to the Sportsmen’s Tavern.
John McCuen and the String Wizards and Monroe Crossing from Minnesota made appearances at the Fredonia Opera House and the Sportsman’s Americana Music Foundation helped bring Creek Bend to the Buffalo Distillery as part of Boom Day Buffalo 2019.
This coming summer you can set your calendars for great local and regional opportunities to see and hear great bluegrass.
