Best of Buffalo Avenues Volume 2

By Kenny Macdonald

Buffalo, NY – When Andrew Bird performed at Babeville last September, Alison and I were lucky to be invited into his tour bus where we asked Andrew about how he makes his brand of music and why whistling became such a big part of his songs

Tracy Morrow, also known as Bill Nehill, tends bar at Mohawk place. He also makes music. Both jobs fairly innocuous on the James Bond Scale. So why the alias?

Tom Schuman was born and raised in Buffalo among some of the best musicians. Both of his folks were jazz musicians and all of their friends, too. No wonder he grew up knowing how to play the keys as if an innate talent. Tom and his long-time friend Bud Fidale play for us in Allen Hall.
