Performance @ 7pm
BAAM is pleased to bring guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist Carl “Buffalo” Nichols to perform at The Gem on Friday, December 9th, at 7:00pm. Tickets are "Pay What You Can".
Since his earliest infatuations with the guitar, Buffalo Nichols has asked himself the same question: How can I bring the blues of the past into the future? After cutting his teeth between a Baptist church and bars in Milwaukee, it was a globetrotting trip through West Africa and Europe during a creative down period that began to reveal the answer. “Part of my intent, making myself more comfortable with this release, is putting more Black stories into the genres of folk and blues…Listening to this record, I want more Black people to hear themselves in this music that is truly theirs.” That desire is embodied in his self-titled debut album —Fat Possum’s first solo blues signing in nearly 20 years—composed largely of demos and studio sessions recorded between Wisconsin and Texas.
