The Grateful Dans are a powerhouse trio built on deep grooves, long jams, and a whole lot of heart - with surprise sit-in musicians adding an extra spark to every show…and they’re in our front room every 2nd & 4th Sunday of the Month, from 3:30-5:30pm.

Front and center is Buffalo’s very own Danny Lynn Wilson, leading the charge with soulful vocals and dynamic guitar work. Holding down the low end is Mike Reid on bass, locking in tight rhythms with Ted Chubbuck Jr. on drums.

Hailing from Buffalo, these three have been playing together so long it feels like they started when dinosaurs walked the planet. That kind of history translates into jams that fit together like a tight-knit cashmere sweater — warm, smooth, and impossible to pull apart.

So when the cold sets in, come out and let The Grateful Dans warm you up.

The Stifftones are more than a band; they are the architects of a mission. Led by husband-and-wife duo Shaun and Rachel Stief, they operate as modern-day traveling bards, fueled by a philosophy of belief in the American Dream and the defiant spirit of rock’s golden age. Their sound—a potent fusion of Midwest grit, Bakersfield country, Inland Empire-inspired punk, East-Coast cheese, and heartfelt Rock and Roll, wrapped in magic—is what they call the “Rock & Roll Devival.”  Imagine if Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones had a love child....

Lights. Cameras. Dance floor.
