The Town Ballroom came alive to the sounds of the music of David Bowie as Celebrating David Bowie hit the stage Saturday night. An extremely talented band took the Bowie songlist to a new level by performing a two hour plus set that left the crowd in awe. One of the main catalysts of the tour is musical director and guitarist Angelo “Scrote” Bundini. Continue reading →

I like the fact that Judas Priest brings bands who truly deserve the slot and that it also gives the fans a well balanced show. Continue reading →

John Petrucci

John Petrucci hit the Town Ballroom Sunday evening for what was billed as his first ever solo tour. Joining him for the occasion were longtime “don’t leave home without him” collaborator and bassist Dave LaRue and longtime friend Mile Portnoy on drums. Portnoy, for those who may be out of the loop met Petrucci when they were 18 years old and formed some band named Dream Theater. This tour marked the first time the two of them played live together since 2010. Incidentally, to date that was the last time Dream Theater played Buffalo and it also took place at the Town Ballroom as well. Continue reading →
