The band broke up in 1997, but reunited at Jazz Fest 2003. Since then they’ve been drawing from the great forms of American music to create their trademark New Orleans flavored Americana.

“Casting himself as a conduit between what he sees as the popular conception of hip-hop as a dangerous, unsavory art form and the reality –“It’s a celebration of a culture, and of art in general” – Billy Drease Williams has balanced his career as MC, record-maker and songwriter with efforts to provide opportunities for the Buffalo rap community to flourish. Along the way, he has become the most promising, adventurous, nigh-on-visionary hip-hop artist Buffalo has yet produced.” – Jeff Miers

Kenny Rogers Seneca Niagara Events Center 8 p.m.
We already have a photographer going but this would be a great event for anyone interested in writing a review about the show!
For more than five decades, Kenny Rogers has delivered memorable songs, drawing fans among rock, pop, soul and country audiences. From his first rockabilly group, The Scholars, formed in 1956 to Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, his music has touched millions. Then with his solo country career hits like “Love Lifted Me,” “Lucille,” “Sweet Music Man,” and “Love or Something Like It,” Rogers’ success continued to soar. Fast-forward to "The Gambler," a story song so vivid it not only delighted country and pop fans, it also became a TV movie, starring Rogers himself in the title role and launching his acting career. During the 1980s, he sang such romantic hits as "Through The Years," "She Believes In Me," "You Decorated My Life," and "Lady," the biggest song of his career. His songs are classics today, and his performance reminds audiences everywhere that his talent is just as vibrant and meaningful as it was fifty years ago.
