ZACH BRYAN ANNOUNCES THE QUITTIN TIME 2024 TOUR
NEW SELF-TITLED ALBUM OUT NOW VIA WARNER RECORDS
August 28, 2023 – Today, Zach Bryan announces his 2024 North American run, The Quittin Time Tour. Zach Bryan will perform at KeyBank Center on Sunday, March 10, 2024. The news comes just days after the singer-songwriter-producer released his fourth full-length studio album, Zach Bryan, available HERE via Warner Records. Fans can register for presale access HERE, with presale beginning on September 6. General on-sale begins September 8.
Bryan’s 2024 tour will take place in stadiums and major arenas across North America, kicking off in Chicago with two shows at the United Center on March 6 and 7, before heading out coast to coast with stops at football stadiums in Denver, Foxborough, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa, Arlington, and Minneapolis. The tour will conclude in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma with two shows at the BOK Center on December 13 and 14.
The 27-year-old has built a hard-won reputation as an in-concert force of nature, second to none, as evidenced by anyone who attended shows from his Burn, Burn, Burn Tour which wraps in Kansas City at the end of the month. All shows sold out instantly several months in advance, and he set new attendance records at several venues along the way.
The new 16-track body of work explores the Grammy-nominated singer’s southern states roots that combine a litany of varied musical and literary influences that might be best described as “Zach Bryan music.” Written and produced entirely by Bryan himself, the self-titled album features raw and unfiltered stories that speak from the heart directly to his ever-growing global fanbase. Zach Bryan boasts collaborations with Kacey Musgraves, The Lumineers, Sierra Ferrell, and The War and Treaty.

CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN X MIKAELA DAVIS AND SOUTHERN STAR
2024-03-12 19:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
Circles Around The Sun x Mikaela Davis and Southern Star together again for the first time at Buffalo Iron Works – Tuesday March 12th, 2024!
Circles Around The Sun
Los Angeles-based instrumental supergroup Circles Around the Sun is a contemporary instrumental rock band, initially formed with the purpose of creating music for “Fare Thee Well”, a series of reunion concerts played by the surviving members of the Grateful Dead. Those shows celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary and served as their official send-off, while Circles Around the Sun was designed to reflect the Dead’s overall spacy and groove-laden feel. After the tour, the group released a self-titled album from the Fare Thee Well gigs, supporting the record with their own road trip.
The response was so positive that they continued on with a follow-up project, Let It Wander, in 2018. This record was less influenced by the Dead and more free-form, delivering on the roots influence of jazz-funk, soul, and fusion. The band underwent a fundamental transition in 2019. After completing the Meets Joe Russo EP and a third album, their guitarist Neal Casal committed suicide on August 26, 2019. He left his bandmates a note asking for them to continue in his absence– to continue recording, touring, and playing together. The band decided to carry on with a rotating cast of guitarists, landing on John Lee Shannon as the permanent replacement.
In this metamorphosis, Circles Around the Sun spans both heartbreak and hope. Doors close; windows open; new directions extend themselves in mysterious ways. But sometimes you know it’s real from the first beat. It just clicks. It’s just how Neal would want it. It’s Circles Around The Sun.

2024-03-13 19:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
Molly Hatchet returns to Buffalo at Iron Works on Wednesday March 13th, 2023!
Molly Hatchet
Molly Hatchet firmly cemented their place in music history in the late seventies.They stood alongside other iconic Southern rock bands out of Jacksonville,Florida, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. A perfect mixture of English invasion rock, blues, country, and gospel remains the unique sound of Molly Hatchet.
They were the hardest hitting of the Southern rock bands at the time when, in 1978,Epic Records released Molly Hatchet’s self-titled debut album. It reached multi-platinum status, and the band established their reputation of working hard, playing tough and living fast through intense touring. During this time, they were on the road with Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Rolling Stones, and many others.
In1979, Molly Hatchet’s second album Flirtin’ with Disaster was released, and it also quickly achieved multi-platinum status. It skyrocketed the band into the stratosphere and performing an average of two hundred and fifty shows per year kept them busy.
MollyHatchet next released Beatin’ the Odds (1980), followed by Take No Prisoners (1981), No Guts…No Glory (1983) TheDeed Is Done (1984) and Double Trouble Live (1985).
In 1987, Bobby Ingram joined the band as lead guitarist and songwriter. They continued to play over two hundred dates a year. In 1989 they recorded LightningStrikes Twice on Capitol Records. The Greatest Hits album was released in 1991 and certified gold. It was followed by
In 1996 Devil’s Canyon (the first studio album in six years) was recorded in Hamburg, Germany on SPV/CBH Records with producers Kalle Trapp and Bobby Ingram. The album was voted the number one rock record inEurope in 1996 with rave reviews.
It was followed by SilentReign of Heroes (CMCInternational, 1998), Kingdom of XII (Sanctuary, 2000), 25th Anniversary: Best of Re-Recorded (SPVRecords, 2003), Warriors of the Rainbow Bridge (Steam hammer, 2005), Locked and Loaded – Live (Steam hammer, 2006), Justice (Steam hammer, 2010), GreatestHits II (SPV Records, 2011), and most recently Battleground – Live (Steam hammer, 2019).
Molly Hatchet continues their worldwide tour, performing classic hits such as “Flirtin’ with Disaster,” “Devil’s Canyon,” “Gator Country,” “Whiskey Man,” and“Dreams I’ll Never See.”
The band’s current lineup consists of long-time members Bobby Ingram on lead guitar and John Galvin on keyboards, as well as Tim Lindsey on bass guitar and ShawnBeamer on drums, with Jimmy Elkins on vocals. Molly Hatchet continues to honor the legacies of those members who passed away (including Danny Joe Brown, David Hlubek, and Phil McCormack) by keeping the music alive, performing across the United States, and throughout the world.
Molly Hatchet celebrated their 40th anniversary with a world tour and the release of the double CD and triple vinyl live album titled Battleground. Recorded in both Germany and Switzerland on the SPV/Steam hammer label and featuring cover art by famed artist Paul Raymond Gregory (Dio, Uriah Heep, Saxon), Battleground has garnered rave reviews by their loyal fans, as well as the national and international press.
According to Bobby Ingram, “In recording this album, we compiled a four-decade long catalog of songs that our friends wanted to hear. They would tell us what songs they wanted on the album, and we would record them. Some of these songs have never been recorded on a live stage before, and we were honored and proud to be able to perform them for many generations of past, present, and futureSouthern rock fans.”
After forty plus years Molly Hatchet is still workin’ hard, playin’ tough, livin’ fast, and Flirtin’ with Disaster!!!
