Echoes: A Cabaret of Portraits

ECHOES

True stories turned into songs—and portraits that sing.

Join songwriter and visual artist Keith Torgan and flutist Barbara Siesel for Echoes, an intimate cabaret experience blending original songs, storytelling, flute, and striking digital portraits.

Created from in-depth conversations with community members, these “Song Portraits” bring extraordinary lives into the spotlight: a bass player obsessed with motorbikes, a baker who carries the soul of a village, a survivor who finds faith, and a seeker searching for home. Alongside the music, Torgan’s “Oilish” portraits give each story a face.

Funny, tender, defiant, and deeply human, Echoes celebrates the stories hidden in plain sight—and the ways another person’s life can help us recognize our own.

Sleaze Ball: Recession Pop!

sleaze ball is a love letter to the era of bloghouse, electroclash, & indie sleaze of the early aughts as well as the latest resurgence of those respective genres today. combining elements of music, dance, drag, and entertainment, sleaze ball was born out of the desire for a party or event that brought hipsters, indie rockers, and weirdos together to celebrate the monoculture of indie/alternative music through a queer lens and experience. 

 we’re back from summer vacation and ready to party with you once again! SLEAZE BALL: RECESSION POP is a celebration of the electronic/pop genre fusion of the late 2000’s and early 2010’s. when the outside world felt chaotic and uncertain, people found escapism through the music in the clubs, over the radio, and on the blogs. from gaga to rihanna, avicii to zedd, and lmfao to kesha, “recession pop” was all about the party and living each moment as if it were your last. join us as we escape our current 2026 hellscape to a night out at the club, in business casual, where we’re dancing and singing with our friends…

Rigometrics

Rigometrics is bringin' their original funk & blues music to Buffalo on Thursday, October 15th! 

Doors @ 8pm
Music @ 8:30pm
$10 Cover

https://theticketing.co/e/rigo-buffalo

Rigometrics (Portland, Maine) is making serious waves in the Northeast music scene with a dynamic, high-energy sound that blends the soul of classic rock with the grit of funk and blues, the hooks of indie, and the urgency of modern alternative. Their music fuses Josef Berger’s searing guitar work, Derek Haney’s hard-hitting, groove-driven drums, and Keenan Hendricks’ soaring vocals and swaggering piano, which doubles as the bass in their live setup: creating a genre-blurring style that feels both timeless and fresh. The result is a live experience and growing catalog that consistently draws in diverse audiences and fuels an ever-expanding, loyal fan base.

Formed in late 2021, the three-piece has toured all over the East Coast and South, sold out 300-cap venues, headlined major shows in Maine, and played over 450 shows. Their catalog now includes 2026’s album The Rigossance Era, 2025’s Live in Maine II and singles Can’t Catch Up, Couldn’t Tell Ya, Hands, Mr. Shove, Hope You Know, and Ghost of Indecision; 2024’s EP Elodie, live album Live in Maine, and singles Endless Road, All My Friends (Live for the Weekend), and No Smoke; 2023’s EP No Time to Waste and single Share the Fortune; and their 2022 debut album Rig N’ Roll. These projects are propelled by their relentless touring schedule and undeniable stage presence ~ backed by years on the road, first in a renovated school bus and now in their dedicated touring van.

To bring these releases to life, Rigometrics has collaborated with top-tier producers Jon Wyman, Matt Perry, and Anthony Gatti, as well as Grammy winners Dave Gutter, Adam Ayan, and ‘Bassy’ Bob Brockmann. Together, they’ve crafted music that elevates Rigometrics’ signature sound while keeping it deeply rooted in the spirit of rock ’n’ roll.

Annie in the Water & Fungkshui

Annie in the Water & FUNGKSHUI are teamin' up for a full night of original funk music at Nietzsche's in Buffalo on Thursday, December 3rd. 

Doors @ 8pm
Music @ 9pm
$15 Adv // $20 DoS

https://theticketing.co/e/annie-fungk-buffalo

Annie in the Water arrives in Buffalo riding serious momentum, as they end their Fall 2026 tour.
An Americana indie rock band rooted in acoustic guitar traditions but constantly expanding into
new territory. Their live shows have been described as "paddling with a river" shifting
seamlessly between calm, flowing melodies and high energy original music with intentional
lyrics, and tasteful improvisation combining to create a communal, immersive experience.

On the other side of the bill, Fungkshui brings the fire. The Asbury Park, New Jersey
powerhouse is one of the most talked about rising acts in the jam scene, fusing funk, groove,
prog, psychedelic rock, metal, and even country into a high-energy, improvisational sound all
their own. The name, a playful mashup of funk and feng shui, says it all: this is a band built
around energy, feel, and the chemistry between players and crowd.

Put these two bands together in a room like Nietzsche's, and you get one of those nights that
people talk about for months afterward. This is what live music is supposed to feel like.
