Check out this sneaky cool music scene.

"Let’s see your hands in the air!" "Let’s see your hands in the air!" "Hello, Buffalo! Thanks for comin’ out tonight!” Whatever your favorite genre, [the Buffalo scene]( is musical proof that the venue is often as moving as the tunes you’re listening to. From [Shea’s Performing Arts Center]( and [Kleinhans Music Hall]( to [KeyBank Center]( Buffalo’s biggest stages shine the brightest lights on national touring acts. But the City of Good Neighbors boasts a scene full of deep cuts, as well. [EXPLORE VENUES]( The iconic [Town Ballroom’s]( stretches back to when it was known as the Town Casino, where legends performed, from Nat “King” Cole and Frank Sinatra to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Today, the beautifully renovated Town welcomes artists of all kinds to two stages that energize Main Street. Sometimes the smallest stages bring the biggest noise—eclectic clubs where you’ll discover live music every night—from [Nietzsche’s]( in Allentown, home to the city’s longest-running open mic, to the [Mohawk Place]( where decades of epic sets by bands you didn’t know you loved yet drip from the walls. Buffalo’s own Rick James, Ani DiFranco, and the Goo Goo Dolls found their sounds here. And nightly, next gen tunesmiths play reimagined and reborn rooms, like [Asbury Hall]( [Iron Works]( and [Electric City](. Even the unexpected spaces are filled with song, from [Silo City’s]( cavernous grain elevators to [front porches in the Elmwood Village](. [LIVE MUSIC CALENDAR]( When the weather is right, head outside and experience music under the sky, from the [Outer Harbor]( to the unmistakable [Artpark]( just down river from the Falls. And if festivals are more your thing, Buffalo delivers those, too, bringing everyone together for weirdly wonderful experiences. Buffalo’s story of sounds is being written one gig at a time, as musicians, homegrown or passing through, take the stage in venues you won’t soon forget.
