Buffalo Live! Music Podcast - 2 Songs From Buffalo

I recorded the Buffalo Chips recently at their Fall Jam concert at the University of Buffalo Student Union on Nov. 17, 2007. I heard of the Chips not too long ago and thought they’d be a fresh, different sound for the podcast. I hope you enjoy their music as much as I did.

When you meet them, they’re just a bunch of your average college kids, casual, irreverent, always kidding around, and when they step on stage that really doesn’t change.

Have you been following - or attending - the WBFO XPoNential Live at Allen Hall series?

I haven’t been to one yet, but I listened in to the first one online. You can hear them and all the WBFO XPoNential HD-2 programming on HD radio, or if you don’t have one of them yet (I don’t either) online.

The list of upcoming shows should sound familiar to listeners of this podcast: Brian Wheat, Johnny Nobody, and Dee and the Housecats. Hopefully more will be scheduled after the holidays to continue the series.

Kudos to WBFO for going the extra mile to support local musicians.

I’ve been doing this podcast for two years now (That’s right, Podcast #1 with the Flyin’ Blind Blues Band was recorded within days of Thanksgiving 2005) and each year, I’ve put out a Christmas Podcast.

In the past, I’ve used podsafe music for those shows, but this year, I’d dearly love to do an all-local holiday podcast featuring our own musicians. So, I’m requesting submissions… Read the rest of this entry »
