Buffalo Place will produce the free outdoor summer series, Thursday & Main, weekly from June 5th through July 31, 2025 in Downtown Buffalo at Fountain Plaza.

The series continues to pay homage to the venerable Buffalo Place-produced summer tradition, Thursday at the Square. Thursday & Main is presented by M&T Bank.

Buffalo Place is delighted to welcome The Sheila Divine to Fountain Plaza for an encore performance on July 24th. Veterans of our Lafayette Square stage, and known for their emotionally charged blend of post-punk and alt-rock, the band has long been celebrated for powerful live performances and a loyal fanbase stretching from Boston to Belgium. Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Aaron Perrino, the band combines soaring melodies with raw, introspective lyrics that speak to themes of identity, struggle, and hope. Their latest album, “I Am The Darkness, We Are The Light,” continues that tradition while pushing into more atmospheric and reflective territory. Supporting the night is Stress Dolls, the alt/pop/rock project of Buffalo-based Chelsea O’Donnell, whose raw, emotionally charged sound blends punk energy with thoughtful songwriting.

Thursday & Main is made possible with the generous support of our official sponsor family. The series is presented by M&T Bank and supported by Crowley Webb, Big Ditch Brewing Company, Hyatt Regency Buffalo, Iroquois Construction Services, Katz Americas, Labatt, Lawley, Lemur Studios, National Grid, Premium Parking, The Buffalo News, Try-It Distributing, Uber, and VanDette Law.

A Band of Brothers performs live at Buffalo Iron Works on Thursday, July 24th!

A Band of Brothers:

A Band Of Brothers” isn’t just an Allman Brothers tribute band; they’re a powerhouse, uniting the top-tier talent of the East Coast. The brainchild of ace Boston guitarists Ryan Taylor and Johnny Trama, this collective, more than a mere homage, harness the Allman Brothers tradition as a vehicle to bring a unique and exciting experience every night.

Matt Zeiner began his professional music career touring with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, who exposed him to a fusion of blues and jazz. His career took a significant turn in 2000 when Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band recruited him as a keyboardist and vocalist, leading to a fruitful collaboration and tour. Zeiner’s own songwriting flourished during this time, contributing notably to the band’s repertoire. After four years touring, he returned home, focused on original material, and formed his own band. They achieved recognition with their 2007 release, “Live on a Summer Night,” and continued to evolve through collaborations with artists like Melvin Sparks and Jeff Pevar. Zeiner’s band has since been working on an ambitious new album, showcasing his ability to craft infectious melodies with tight, dynamic arrangements across a range of soul, R&B, and rock genres. Johnny Trama on guitar conjures up riffs and rhythms that speak volumes. His journey through the realms of rock, soul, and blues, playing with icons like Bettye LaVette and Jesse Dee, has armed him with a mystical musical prowess. Jesse Williams on bass has played with everyone from Duke Robillard, Louis Walker to North Mississippi Allstars. Tom Arey behind the drums has played with artists like Peter Wolf’s Midnight Travelers. Brendan Tommaney on percussion has played with groups like Pink Talking Fish, Tommaney and brings a jazz-infused sensibility that adds depth and dimension to the band’s sound.
