Tonight: Son Of The Sun

Beloved but dearly departed Buffalo band Son Of The Sun is getting back together for one night only tonight at Buffalo Iron Works, and they’re bringing their musical progeny with them to open the show. Zak Ward’s new band First Ward will be joined by The Soft Love featuring Jeremy Franklin and Joe Stocker and Brandon Delmont’s  A House Safe For Tigers project with Mark Constantino will be convening to show us some of the future of the local music scene before getting back together onstage to remind us of what Son Of The Sun was all about. Tickets are $10 at the door and doors are at 8pm. Almost Not There by Son of the Sun

Tonight: Moon Hooch

Brooklyn jazz fusion trio Moon Hooch met while attending college in Manhattan and shortly after began busking in New York subway stations. This humble beginning led the band to the realization that “the more focus and the more energy you put into the music, and the more you listen to everything around you and integrate everything around you into your expression, the more the music becomes this captivating force for people.” With this conscious approach to live performance, the band has found themselves opening for artists like Beats Antique, Lotus, and They Might Be Giants. Last year saw the release of their third album, Red Sky which the band calls their most focused effort to date as a result of the members personal evolution which they credit to their ongoing yoga and meditation practices. Tonight Moon Hooch will perform at Buffalo Iron Works at 9pm. Tickets are $12.

Tonight: Turkuaz

Buffalo Iron Works is set to host Brooklyn-based powerfunk band, Turkuaz, this evening for undoubtedly the most fun you’ll have on a Wednesday. The band is no stranger to Buffalo, having played almost every stage that has been able to fit the nine-piece (Buffalo State’s Social Hall, Soundlab, Nietzsche’s, and now Iron Works.) Turkuaz, whose stock is rapidly rising on the festival circuit, combines soul and R&B to make an incredibly engaging sweaty show.  Fans of James Brown, Talking Heads, or Sly & The Family Stone would dig. Not to be forgotten is The Nth Power, who are equally as talented and buzzed about since their emergence at New Orleans Jazz Fest in 2012. Doors are at 8pm with a $16 cover.

Tonight: Project Grant Fundraiser
