About Aída Cuevas
Aída Cuevas, known as “The Queen of Mariachi Music,” celebrates 47 years singing traditional Mexican and Latin American music. Cuevas is the first and only female singer in the traditional mariachi genre to ever win a Grammy and a Latin Grammy Award, and now celebrates a long-lasting career which includes eleven Grammy nominations in the “Best Mariachi/Ranchero Album” category. Much like Ella Fitzgerald’s classic releases for Verve, her “songbook” albums have played a central role in defining Mexican popular music. Over her career, she has recorded an impressive 41 full-length albums that have sold internationally in excess of 11 million copies.
An international icon of Mexican music since she was a teenager, Aída Cuevas is an impassioned performer with a striking voice that evokes life’s deepest sorrows, greatest joys, and most profound longings. An artist known widely as the “Queen of Ranchera Music,” and “La Voz de México” (the Voice of Mexico) in her native country, she celebrates her 47th year as a performer with this special tour, Yo Creo Que Es Tiempo (“I Think It’s Time”), named for her 1983 hit written by her late mentor and producer, pop icon Juan Gabriel.
Her two latest albums, Antología de la Musica Ranchera Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (2020 & 2021), feature her interpretations of the timeless songs made famous by the iconic 1930s ranchera singer Lucha Reyes, and both albums earned Grammy nominations again for the “Best Mariachi/Ranchero Album” category.

Thundercat (Stephen Bruner) released his most recent album, It Is What It Is, in the spring of 2020. The record won Best Progressive R&B Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards and features musical contributions from Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, Pedro Martins and Zack Fox. Thundercat produced the record with his longtime partner Flying Lotus, who was GRAMMY-nominated in the “Producer of the Year” category for his work on the album.
It Is What It Is follows Bruner’s game-changing third album Drunk (2017), which completed his transition from virtuoso bassist to bonafide star and cemented his reputation as a unique voice that transcends genre. “This album is about love, loss, life and the ups and downs that come with that,” Bruner says about It Is What It Is. Concurrently, the tragic passing of his friend Mac Miller in September 2018 had a profound effect on Thundercat and the making of It Is What It Is. “Losing Mac was extremely difficult,” he explains. “I had to take that pain in and learn from it and grow from it. It sobered me up… it shook the ground for all of us in the artist community.” Thundercat poignantly describes the album as “a bit tongue-in-cheek, but at different points in life you come across places that you don’t necessarily understand… some things just aren’t meant to be understood.” Clearly, however, fans understood It Is What It Is, an unexpectedly apt title for when it arrived. In addition to its Grammy win, the album and its songs landed on dozens of year-end lists and roundups at Pitchfork, Stereogum, NPR, Vulture, and Allmusic to name a few.
Previous releases include The Golden Age of Apocalypse (2011), Apocalypse (2013), followed by EP The Beyond / Where The Giants Roam featuring the modern classic “Them Changes.” He was later “at the creative epicenter” (per Rolling Stone) of the 21st century’s most influential hip-hop album Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly, where he won a Grammy for his collaboration on the track “These Walls” before releasing his third album Drunk in 2017.
Outside of his solo work, Thundercat keeps busy across numerous genres. In 2021, his dreamy vocals and masterful bass playing feature on “Black Gold,” the theme song for the Netflix original anime Yasuke, soundtracked by Flying Lotus. In addition, Thundercat recently collaborated on releases from Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson Paak), HAIM, H.E.R., and Kaytranada, as well as contributing an original song for the final season and soundtrack from HBO’s ‘Insecure.’
Thundercat’s latest work has seen him branching outside of music, making his television debut with a recurring role as The Modifier in the Star Wars series ‘The Book of Boba Fett,’ and appearing as the face of recent fashion/brand campaigns for Kerwin Frost and Kenny Beats, as well as attending Paris Fashion Week as a guest of Spanish luxury designer LOEWE.
The name Thundercat refers to the cartoon he’s loved since childhood and an extension of his wide-eyed, vibrant, often superhuman approach to his craft. In 2020 things came full circle when Bruner voiced a character (and penned a song) named “Grune the Destroyer” in Cartoon Network’s Thundercats Roar animated series.

T-R-O-Y-B-O-I. These letters are chanted by the masses at his shows, but the question is who is the artist incorporating stunning visuals, live instruments, talented dancers, and those jaw dropping aerialists?
Troy Henry, the elusive producer who has classified himself as a music manipulation specialist got his start making his beats standing up in his London studio apartment kitchen with his MacBook and a midi keyboard. Today, the TroyBoi Experience is indeed a musical journey of hard-hitting beats, lights, visuals, and the unexpected. While his musical style can be broadly classified as trap, it’s extraordinarily unique, versatile, and fuses various textures from multiple genres. He is of Nigerian, Indian, Chinese, and Portuguese descent, and credits this (along with growing up in London, with its own blend of cultures and genres) for the diversity that is reflected in his music. Beyond his career releases which include his debut album Left Is Right (2017) and series of V!BEZ EPs in 2018 and 19, his productions have caught the ear of major music stars.
His 2018 remix of Billie Eilish’s “MyBoi-TroyBoi Remix” has garnered almost 79 million Spotify streams and in 2019, Rihanna featured two of his songs “Do You?” and “Malokara” at her SavagexFenty show, seen globally via Amazon Prime during New York Fashion Week. TroyBoi’s sound has evolved from when he began his musical journey to now headlining at some of the world’s largest festival stages such as Coachella, Lollapalooza (Chicago & Paris), Life Is Beautiful, HARD, EDC China and Electric Zoo, Sunset Music Festival, just to name a few as well as holding down a new residency at Elia Beach Club in Las Vegas. While the music industry was at a stand still due to the pandemic, Troy was working on new music/collaborations to come back stronger and more innovative as ever once live music was back. And Boi did he. In 2020 released, his highly anticipated V!BEZ Vol.4 featuring top hits like, “Do You” and “Bellz.”
One of his first festival appearances post pandemic, was the long-awaited return of Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco, where Troy had one of the largest crowds in the history of the festival. In early 2021, he released more hits like , “Mad Ting, Buss It, and of course “RedEye” with Justin Bieber which currently has over 48 million streams on Spotify.
In 2022, Troy was hard at work on a brand new EP and headlining more festivals and shows worldwide. Troy has a true love and inspiration for Latin Music and he has plans to pay homage to that in his new EP titled “INFLUENDO.” He was inspired to complete this project due his reflection of his admiration for the culture during his travels throughout various countries.

“Make music like no one’s listening” is the motto of Aaron Carmack, and appropriately so. His story is a three-part series, divided into factions of past, present, and future. Every element of the past, as Aaron Carmack would explain, has had an effect on who he is today as both a writer/producer and DJ. Being born and raised in San Francisco, attending and dropping out of college in Long Beach, CA, moving to Oahu for three years and living off income from monthly releases on Bandcamp – Carmack’s music is an expression and perpetual reflection of all of it.
Constantly translating personal experience into his craft, Carmack finds inspiration from a range of sources, from his friends and fellow musicians in production cliques, Team Supreme and Soulection, to his travels and numerous sold out tours of five continents over the past two years, sharing stages with folks like Hudson Mohawke, Just Blaze, Cashmere Cat, and Diplo. These influences, combined with a hunger for discovering the newest, most cutting-edge sounds on sites like Soundcloud, are some of the ingredients to the now-Los Angeles-based producer’s distinct creative process.
Like a hinge to the doorway between dance music and hip hop, Carmack’s musical output increasingly occupies a void frontier between the two genres, identified by his contemporaries, fans, and himself purely as “Carmack”. With a devotion to the studio and a grinding work ethic, the inventive producer aims to release a prolific amount of music in coming months, all while performing as often as possible. Stay tuned.

INTREPID TRAVELERS – ALBUM RELEASE SHOW W/ SPECIAL GUESTS ROY G BIV & CYPHER
2023-10-13 19:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
Intrepid Travelers – Album Release Show w/ Special Guests Roy G Biv & Cypher takes place at Buffalo Iron Works on Friday October 13th, 2023!
Intrepid Travelers
Founded on friendship, fun, and a sense of freedom, Intrepid Travelers is a musical quartet from Buffalo, NY that defines itself through boundless improvisation and eclectic evolution. Treating each live show as a journey with the audience rather than a performance, Intrepid Travelers pride themselves on a form of focused, collective expression that showcases a medium where cerebral musicianship meets heartfelt, soulful songwriting.
“Improvisation does indeed play a role in Intrepid Travelers’ sound, but so too does strong, sturdy and well-conceived songwriting, something in ample evidence on the “Rainbow Monkey?” EP”
– Jeff Miers – The Buffalo News
“‘Intrepid’ describes them well: they are fearless and resolute and own their musical style, which is melodious and placid, while improvisational rhythm, solid riffs, keys, and jamming keep it elevated. Fun, fantastical lyrics complete the feel of their live performance, demonstrative of their crafting abilities. I look forward to further exploration of Intrepid Travelers.”
– Mary Mistretta – UpstateLIVE

John Wood: The System is Alive
2023-10-13 08:00 - 2024-04-28 20:00 | Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14222, United States
John Wood: The System is Alive
Oct 13, 2023 – Apr 28, 2024
John C. Wood (1922-2012) was an educator and artist whose practice transcended divisions of media. Wood taught with distinction at Alfred University from 1954 to 1987 where he developed the photo, graphic design, book arts, printmaking, and foundation programs in the School of Art & Design. Wood was a revered and influential professor who described his aesthetic practice as “being in the state of drawing” and grounded in his personalized forms of “System Drawing.” These philosophies, prominent throughout this exhibition, are the connective tissue for his life’s work.
The exhibition focuses on the relationship between Wood’s visual scholarship and its expression through diverse media, extending through more than 25 different forms and variants. Among the media are drawings on various substrates, including a range of papers, rocks, and sand, and an equivalent variety of print media, including intaglio, etching, lithographs, woodcuts, silkscreen, and photography. The photographic works are themselves in a range of formats, from cyanotypes to multi-media collages. Many of the works seen here have never been exhibited before. In his work, Wood did not offer answers to questions, instead presenting pathways for consideration. His work took on a range of subjects, but ultimately, they were platforms for conversation on topics of environmental, political, and social concerns.
Nearly all Wood’s notes, writings on art, and preparatory works have been held and archived by members of his family. This record of achievement and discovery stretching from 1948 into the new millennium has not previously been studied.  John Wood: The System is Alive represents an in-depth examination of close to 400 of Wood’s notebooks, sketchbooks, one-of-a-kind experimental artist’s books, and unframed preliminary drawings bringing forth a profound reinterpretation and radically new appreciation of the depth and breadth of an artist generally remembered as master photographer and educator.
Wood’s artwork is in collections nationally. These include Baltimore Museum of Art, Center for Creative Photography, George Eastman House, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The National Gallery of Canada, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, and many others. This exhibition, curated by Joseph Scheer and organized with help from the supportive team at the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University is presented with support from the Tower Family Fund, and the Wendt Foundation, Thanks to Carol Wood and family for all of their great work and Anthony Bannon, PhD for his review and advice on the broad spectrum of the artist’s career.

Oct 13, 2023 – Jan 28, 2024
Charles E. Burchfield was one of the great American artists of the 20th century, but his work is sometimes overlooked as are many works on paper, because they cannot be left on museum walls for years at a time. They are also shown behind glass, which presents viewers with reflections of themselves, distorting the work itself. This exhibition is the beginning of an effort to both literally and metaphorically reframe his paintings and offer an unencumbered view of his brilliant work, properly presented and celebrated the way it can be today.
The 1930s were an important time in Burchfield’s career. It was during this decade that his work was featured in the first solo exhibition ever held at the then new Museum of Modern Art in New York City. After quitting his job at the Birge Wallpaper company in 1929, Burchfield was finally able to devote all of his energy to painting. Around the same time, he started building his own frames to display his work. On August 29, 1934, he wrote in his journal:
Working these last few days again on frames; it is hard work, but at times enjoyable. Even the mechanical uncreative parts, such as rubbing with sand-paper or using the rasp are a physical pleasure, like walking or swimming.
Works from this period, often presented in large dramatic frames with rustic finishes, are excellent illustrations of how Burchfield himself intended for the work to be seen. Most of the best examples have little or no matt bordering the work and are presented in the way one might expect to see an oil painting.
Modern glass, used in everything from windows and lenses to fiberglass and fiber optic cables, is a building block for civilization. In windows, it protects people from the elements. Lens technology has allowed people to see more clearly as their sight fails them. Burchfield himself needed glasses to continue painting. On November 24, 1939, he wrote:
A.M. When I tried to draw in the studio, I found I could not focus on the work at arm’s length. Alarmed, I called Dr. Bennett, who, instead of assuring me it could be remedied, said it presented quite a problem, and would I see him at 5:00 P.M. So I had a bad hour or so, until I reasoned out myself, that an extra pair of glasses, with more space for intermediate work, and less for distance, should do the trick.
In his journals, Burchfield often spoke of weather clearing after a storm as the rain or wind that ravaged the landscape moved away. This exhibition does the same. Like those new glasses, it offers a clearing view of work too long distorted by obsolete glass. By reframing Burchfield’s work, we also re-present his legacy and its importance in a world that needs his love of nature and his focus on the details in the world around us that anyone can connect with and enjoy.

THE LEMON TWIGS W/ JOANNA STERNBERG
2023-10-10 19:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
The Lemon Twigs w/ Joanna Sternberg make their Buffalo Iron Works debut on Tuesday October 10th, 2023!
The Lemon Twigs
On Everything Harmony, the fourth full-length studio release from New York’s The Lemon Twigs, the prodigiously talented brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario offer 13 original servings of beauty that showcase an emotional depth and musical sophistication far beyond their years as a band, let alone as young men. While they eagerly devour musical influences from everything and everywhere, they have somehow arrived at a cohesive and dynamic sound that speaks to our troubled times.
Having bounded onto the music scene with their precocious 2016 debut Do Hollywood, they threw caution to the wind two years later on their followup Goto School. By the time of their third album, Songs for the General Public (2020) The Lemon Twigs had begun to pull from a wide range of multigenerational inspirations, expertly darting from twee chamber pop balladry to full on glam punk, mixing plaintive singer-songwriter confessionals with an almost Syd Barrett sense of outré pop.In an interview from the time, they expressed an interest in creating “something really beautiful sounding” based on vocal harmonies and developing their combined melodic sensibilities into a setting where “the sounds were as important as the songs” themselves.
On Everything Harmony, the brothers have fully realized that vision, with a unified “Lemon Twigs sound” that successfully blends their distinct personalities while giving voice to their diverse and eclectic influences. Opening the album with the unassuming acoustic folk of plaintive “When Winter Comes Around,” which echoes the sophisticated grandeur of classic Simon & Garfunkel recordings, they immediately switch things up to the sunny classic pop motif of “In My Head.” From that point on Everything Harmony makes it clear that the Lemon Twigs can’t be pinned down.
Having recently worked with friends like Natalie Mering, with whom they appeared on the latest Weyes Blood album, they also collaborated with classic rock hero Todd Rundgren on his most recent album, Space Force. Rundgren, himself no stranger to eclecticism, says he can relate to their time-tripping approach to contemporary pop.
“They started when they were five and six years old, doing TV and Broadway and things like that,” says Rundgren. “So, they have built-in appreciation for music that is of a couple of generations before theirs. I think they were bored by the music of their own generation, and since you can’t fast forward to the music of the future, you just start going backwards to music that was made before you were born. I can empathize with that impulse, because I did that too, back in the seventies.”
Released as the album teaser track, “Corner of My Eye” channels an Art Garfunkel-like vocal melody over a moody, vibraphone-tinged backing track suggesting the chamber pop of Brian Wilson.
Everything Harmony was mostly written and recorded between 2020 and 2021, when tracking for the album began at a “very chaotic” rehearsal studio in Manhattan.
“It was one of the noisiest places I’ve ever been,” says Brian. “We did takes of acoustic guitar in between metal bands rehearsing next door and fire engines roaring down 8th Avenue. After months of sessions there, where we recorded the basic tracks to ‘Corner Of My Eye’, ‘In My Head,’ ‘I Don’t Belong To Me,’ ‘WhatHappens To A Heart,’ ‘Ghost Run Free,’ and ‘New To Me,’ we decided enough was enough and we looked into studios that had acoustic echo chambers after hearingEast West’s chambers during the recording of Weyes Blood’s latest record.”
They finally got out of town, but instead of ‘doing Hollywood’ again, they took the tapes to San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios where they added the album’s omnipresent vibraphone textures, harpsichord, French horn, strings, and many layers of vocal harmonies. To finish up, they flew home to their brand new studio in Brooklyn to finish mixing and mastering with the help of Paul Millar of Bug Sound.
Brian D’Addario notes the influence of two late lamented artists in particular this time; Moondog, and Arthur Russell whose album Iowa Dream encouraged them to lean into their own melodic tendencies and keep the arrangements delicate.
“Their arrangements entered my head when we were arranging the strings on the album,”says Brian, “and we worked for a long time on our vocal blend. On previous records, whoever wrote the song might do most, if not all, of the harmonies on their track but not so much on this one. Our blend is a strength that we tried to exploit as much as possible.”
While they had no grand concept for EverythingHarmony, both the D’Addarios felt a “palpable mood of defeat” prevailed while writing and recording it. “New To Me” was inspired by their shared experience with loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s, “What You Were Doing” is dressed in the tortured jangle of vintage Big Star, while “Born To Be Lonely,” written after watching John Cassavetes’ Opening Night, deals with what Brian calls “the fragility that often comes with age.”
“The album cycles through moments of depression and isolation on songs like ‘WhatHappens To A Heart,’ or ‘Born To Be Lonely’ to episodes of dizzying euphoria in‘Ghost Run Free’ or the title track. There’s very little middle ground. On‘What Happens to A Heart’ we were going for a 70’s Spector vibe, along the lines of Leonard Cohen’s Death Of A Ladies Man. We tracked it with me on piano, Daryl Johns on electric bass and Michael and Andres Valbuena both playing drums. I overdubbed a fretless bass. Two pianos, two organs, harpsichord, and celeste. The basic track was done in New York, and strings and French horn recorded in San Francisco. We got the Friction Quartet to overdub themselves about 8 times to get a more symphonic sound. We also recorded about 8 acoustics and bounced them down to two tracks; we did the same with the electric guitars.”
Everything Harmony is a unified song cycle born of shared blood and common purpose. With two musical heads being better than one, there’s no shortage of ideas to draw on. Their only impediments are time and the challenge of keeping up with their own prolific musical inspiration.
“We share an intuition and tend to be influenced by one another,” says Brian, “so the lyrical ideas on this record tend to complement each other. Writing has never been the issue for us. It’s completing, editing and compiling that takes the time. We’re trapped in a web of songs!”
