BRIAN WHEAT & GROGGY DARLIN’, SHAMBU, AND VINNIE DEROSA & DAY GO LOVE AT NIETZSCHES ON JAN. 18
Buffalo-based bands Brian Wheat & Groggy Darlin’, Shambu, and Vinnie DeRosa and Day Go Love will perform on Friday, Jan. 18 at 10:00 p.m. at Nietzsche?s, 248 Allen St. in Buffalo.
Alt.country songsmith (and Gasport native) Brian Wheat was named “Best Solo Artist” by Buffalo Spree magazine in 2007. His finely-crafted songs and evocative delivery have garnered him supporting positions for some of today’s most exciting national and international acoustic artists, including Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon), Hamell on Trial (Righteous Babe Records), and David Dondero (Team Love). His band, Groggy Darlin’, features a veritable who’s who of the Western New York music scene, including bassist Peter Williams, multi-instrumentalist Peter Gerace, and drummer Mark Longolucco. Check him out here.
Shambu performs textured indiepop in the vein of The Decemberists, The Shins, and Death Cab For Cutie. The band, which includes guitarist/vocalist Peter Burakowski, multi-instrumentalist Dan Reitz, bassist Mike Milazzo, and drummer Brian Dziewa, will reprise its four-song song cycle committed to the 1901 Pan-American Exposition and the assassination of Pres. William McKinley, first performed on the anniversary of McKinley’s death, last September. The band will be joined by special guests Ange Sciarino (French horn) and Jonathan Filbert (trumpet). Check them out here.
With a vocal presence that ranges from soaring tenderness to impassioned grittiness, Vinnie DeRosa offers sincere, convincing soul a la Bill Withers. He will perform with support from his newly-formed band, Day Go Love. Check them out here.
