CHALKFEST 2023 (AUTUMN)
2023-10-08 12:00 - 17:00 | Bufffalo Riverworks, 359 Ganson St., Buffalo, 14203, United States
CHALKFEST 2023 (AUTUMN)
The theme for this autumn will be: October! Get creative with that in any way you choose! The dates are a holiday weekend SUNDAY and MONDAY October 8th and 9th!
ChalkFest Buffalo! is a free annual event in the heart of Downtown Buffalo. For years it was hosted by the 500 Block of Main Street Association, and we are forever grateful to them for helping us make this dream a reality. In 2018 we almost were not able to continue the event. But the folks at Buffalo RiverWorks heard about our troubles and offered to step in and not only save the Chalkfest, but add to it in some amazing ways!
The event will be both inside and outside of the GLF grain silos at Buffalo RiverWorks! Outside on the blacktop artists will be able to draw their creations then ZIP LINE over top of them or see them from the top of the Ferris Wheel!
Inside the grain elevators & silos gives artists a smooth concrete canvas that is protected from the elements of weather. It also gives artists the ability to draw not just on the ground, but on the walls of the historic silos. This is not just a unique opportunity for artists, but a uniquely Buffalo opportunity as the historic grain elevators were invented here and have largely gone abandoned for the past few decades.
Artists inside will be chosen by the following criteria:
1) Expertise level (higher increases your chances)
2) Returning artists (we want to support artists who have supported our festival in the past
3) Order of signing up (sooner is better). Also, we will send a confirmation email that artists must respond to. If you do not respond your inside spot will be given away.
ChalkFest Buffalo! not only provides a variety of activities for adults and children but also gives local artists the chance to win cash prizes and show off their gallery worthy artwork. Please check each event but many will also have an affordable vendor / artisan market for people to sell crafts and art.
Hope to see you there!!

UNDERGROUND SPRINGHOUSE
2023-10-09 19:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
Underground Springhouse brings their evening of the Grateful Dead & Widespread Panic to Buffalo Iron Works on Monday October 9th, 2023!
Underground Springhouse
“More of the good, less of the bad.” That’s the motto upon which Underground Springhouse have built their sound and style. Exploring reggae, country, and funk influences within a rock ‘n roll context, Springhouse has crafted a genre-bending catalog that takes listeners from beaches to back roads with ear-worm hooks and head-bobbing grooves.
Their debut single, “Joyfell” (2018), has caught the ears of listeners around the country, galvanizing the band to become the touring and recording machine that they are today. Springhouse has since released a full length album, “Underground Springhouse” (2021), and two EPs, “Tom Foolery” (2019) and “I Recall” (2023), as well as a number of one-off singles. Their most recent EP, “I Recall,” features five new songs and showcases the band’s honing of their songwriting craft. On certain tracks the group explores newer influences like bluegrass and Americana, while on others they expand on more familiar styles like reggae and funk. All the while, the band stays true to their motto and their sound by including sing-along choruses and dance-worthy rhythms across the EP.
The band’s consistent recording output and dedicated touring schedule have helped grow their audience from a college town phenomenon into a frenetic mass of music lovers, particularly in the Southeast and along the East Coast, where Springhouse has headlined such venues as Athens’ Georgia Theatre, Nashville’s Exit/In, Birmingham’s Avondale Brewing, Brooklyn Made, Pearl Street Warehouse, Asheville’s Salvage Station, and Atlanta’s Terminal West. Fans should expect the unexpected at a Springhouse concert as no two shows look the same. The band’s fondness for improvisation and segues, and use of mashups and surprise covers make each show a unique experience, and keep fans coming back night after night.
Members Charlie Haas (guitar/vocals), Jackson Thompson (bass/vocals), Max Motley (keyboard/vocals) & Mitch Davidson (guitar/vocals) met in Athens, Georgia while students at the University of Georgia. Underground Springhouse is a product of Athens’ renowned music scene, slowly evolving as the group grew from a dorm room project into the polished outfit they are today.

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!”

A Clearing View Charles E. Burchfield Reframed
2023-10-13 08:00 - 2024-01-28 20:00 | Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14222, United States
A Clearing View
Charles E. Burchfield Reframed
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.

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.

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

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.
