On their eighth studio album\,\nFeed The Fire (No Coincidence Records)\, the Baltimore quartet—“Scrambled Greg” Ormont\n[vocals\, guitar]\, Jeremy Schon [guitar\, vocals]\, Ben Carrey [bass\, vocals]\, and Alex “Gator”\nPetropulos [drums\, vocals]—push their psychedelic funk odyssey into its most expansive\nincarnation yet. Across sixteen years\, eight albums\, and countless sweat-soaked performances\,\nPigeons have mastered transformation\, deepening their connection with their devoted fanbase\nand channeling life’s seismic shifts into fuel for their unquenchable fire. “The ‘fire’ represents\nour passion\,” explains Ormont. “Making music feels like something we were born to do… Feed\nThe Fire is the perfect metaphor for our unwavering commitment to keep evolving.” Significant\nmilestones\, from headlining major stages to their fan-centric Domefest\, underscore their\nremarkable journey. \nFeed The Fire shatters boundaries through adventurous collaboration. The band invited\nNashville virtuoso Wes Bailey (Moon Taxi) to co-write the title track’s spiraling guitar hooks—a\nfirst for the group. “As soon as I played him the demo\, he came up with the soaring lead melody\non the spot. It ended up being our first true collaborative writing experience\,” recalls Schon. In\nanother debut\, Ben Carrey steps into the lead vocal spotlight on his heartfelt groove anthem\n“Hit The Ground Runnin’.” Horn collaborators Here Come The Mummies and West End Blend\namplify tracks like “Fantasy” and “Calm Before The Storm\,” while guest producer Chalk Dinosaur\nenhances the psychedelic layers on “Twitch” and “Underworld.” \nThe band’s relentless evolution is evident in standout tracks like the buoyantly infectious “Right\nTrack\,” which distills their live energy into a concise message of resilience and self-trust.\nAccording to Schon\, “Every album we make is a reflection of where we are personally and\nmusically. For Feed The Fire\, we really leaned into exploring textures\, pushing our boundaries\,\nand letting the songs guide us.” From the patient disco-funk simmer of “Fantasy” to the driving\nrebel cry of “Undivided\,” the album showcases the band’s sharpened musicianship and\nrhythmic intuition. \nUltimately\, Feed The Fire is more than an album title—it’s a rallying cry emblematic of Pigeons\nPlaying Ping Pong’s enduring philosophy. Refreshingly dynamic\, resonant\, and irresistibly\ndanceable\, it marks a milestone release poised to captivate listeners across genres. Ormont\nsums it up perfectly: “We’ve been given the gift of this fire\, this passion. So it’s our responsibility\nto nurture it\, embrace it\, and spread it wild. Because when the band and fans reach new heights\ntogether\, that’s the real spark.” \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1677685723427139/ \n\nTickets & Event Information \n\n \nPigeons Playing Ping Pong at Lincoln Hill FarmsSaturday\, July 25th | Doors 5:30pm | Show 6:30pm \nTickets on sale Friday\, May 1st\, 10am \nFor Pigeons Playing Ping Pong\, music is a living flame—one demanding relentless tending\, freshkindling\, and the collective breath of community to sustain it.

Ormontsums it up perfectly: “We’ve been given the gift of this fire\, this passion. So it’s our responsibilityto nurture it\, embrace it\, and spread it wild. Because when the band and fans reach new heightstogether\, that’s the real spark.” URL:https://events.wnymedia.net/event/pigeons-playing-ping-pong-at-lincoln-hill-farms/ LOCATION:3792 NY-247\, Canandaigua\, NY\, United States\, New York 14424 CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.wnymedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/36977_image_682441234_1632333882230928_1983473649077421182_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260725T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260725T220000 DTSTAMP:20260718T193522Z CREATED:20260528T200944Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260718T193522Z UID:37078-1785006000-1785016800@events.wnymedia.net SUMMARY:BPO at North Park Community School #50 DESCRIPTION:**BPO Parks Concert Rescheduled**\nDue to air quality conditions\, the BPO Parks concert at North Park originally scheduled for Thursday\, July 16 has been postponed. \nNew Date: Saturday\, July 25\nTime: 7:00 p.m. \nThe health and safety of our musicians\, staff\, and audience is our highest priority.

A patron saint of broken hearts on the mend\, Sweeney comforts the rest of us by being honest with herself––and everybody else. She is her generation’s sly country conscience\, warm but stubborn\, sad but funny\, rowdy but thoughtful. \n“I am so glad I’ve been able to get this far in this business and still hold my music values\,” Sweeney says. “Being independent has given me the freedom to do more of what I want.” \nFor Sweeney\, doing what she wants has meant crafting smart honky tonk for about two decades. “I really do love country music\,” she says. “For me\, it’s the stories and hooks.” Her new album Rhinestone Requiem is a delectable testament to that love\, brimming with achingly pretty melodies and grown-up storytelling. It’s also an expertly assembled grab bag of the traditional song structures that have built country music\, one three-quarter whirl at a time. \nIf anyone has the bona fides to be country music’s loving\, defiant standard-bearer\, it’s Sweeney. In addition to releasing 5 critically acclaimed albums since her 2006 debut Heartbreaker’s Hall of Fame\, she has become a trusted song curator and advocate for other artists as the host of her SiriusXM shows The Sunny Side of Life on Outlaw Country and Sunny Side Up on Willie’s Roadhouse. Sweeney keeps adding new feathers to her signature hat: She and her longtime guitarist Harley Husbands produced Rhinestone Requiem and are working as producers on additional projects. “We both have very strong points and very strong opinions\,” Sweeney says of Husbands with a laugh. “But we work very well together.” \nBorn in Houston and raised in East Texas\, Sweeney made her home the road before settling down in the hills of Hendersonville\, Tennessee\, a couple of years ago. The release of Rhinestone Requiem represents another milestone. “This is the first time I’ve made a record when I don’t have relationship problems\,” Sweeney says\, smiling. “My last album\, ‘Married Alone\,’ was made right after my divorce. I’ve lived some life. Not all of it’s been pretty. But I feel like that’s what makes really good music.” \nSweeney takes her calling as friend to the hurt and alone seriously––and Rhinestone Requiem shines because of it. Recorded at Tommy Detamore’s Cherry Ridge Studio in Floresville\, Texas\, the album is a compelling snapshot of an artist who knows who she is and what she loves. “I really wanted this album to be a mixture of all the old styles of country music: Jerry Lee Lewis\, Waylon Jennings\, Loretta Lynn\,” Sweeney says\, ticking off a list of some of her idols. “I make music for myself and hope other people like it.” \nIndeed\, the specter of Lewis looms large from the jump\, as the album kicks off with “Find It Where I Can\,” the sauntering\, boozy warning shot recorded by The Killer\, as well as other giants including Waylon Jennings. Sweeney discovered the song during a late-night YouTube deep dive into videos of Lewis and Mickey Gilley hammering away on dueling baby grands. “You know\, they’re cousins\, and their grandmother taught them how to play piano––that’s why their playing style is so similar!” Sweeney says\, relishing the backstory. “And when I heard this song\, I knew I had to record it. It’s not like anything else I have\, and it’s just so fun to sing and play.” \nJubilantly wry “Diamonds and Divorce Decrees” traces the ruins after a marriage ends\, cataloging the pain but looking stubbornly toward happiness. Sweeney has been playing the song live\, and has been struck by how strongly audiences have responded. “One night after we played it\, a guy came up to the stage and said\, ‘I have three days until my divorce is final\, and this song made me know everything is going to be fine\,’” Sweeney says. \nWritten with dear friend and frequent collaborator Brennen Leigh\, “Traveling On” is a superbly crafted heartbreaker showcasing the devastating power of Sweeney’s voice. Written with Ben Chapman and Erin Enderlin\, “Is Tonight the Night (I Make You a Memory)” starts off slow and sad\, before speeding up into a bouncy\, steel-laced shuffle worthy of The Mavericks. Another Enderlin and Sweeney collaboration with the addition of Gary Nicholson\, “I Drink Well with Others” is a winking dancehall duster\, while “As Long as There’s a Honky Tonk”––written with Buddy Owens and Galen Griffin––is a swaggering\, piano-soaked proclamation of independence. \nOne of only two album tracks Sweeney didn’t have a hand in writing\, “Last Hard Bible” nods to the whimsical grit of its writer and original recording artist\, Kasey Chambers\, as Sweeney steers the song firmly into saloon-worthy territory. Chambers and her brother\, Nash\, provide harmonies on Sweeney’s track. When Sweeney joins Chambers for shows in the summer of 2025\, it will mark a full-circle moment for Sweeney\, who is a longtime fan of the Australian singer-songwriter. \nWith crying steel\, “Waiting for a Reason to Stay” tearfully harnesses the potential of conversational songwriting. “I’ve always wondered what was wrong with me\,” Sweeney sings\, opening the song with gut-wrenching directness. What follows is a meditation on the days after you’ve decided to go––but haven’t left yet. “I’ve had records about the bad side of divorce\,” Sweeney says. “This is the light at the end of the tunnel.” Written with Owens and Monty Holmes\, album closer “Half Lit in 3/4 Time” is a masterclass in country songwriting\, as line after line pays tribute to honky tonk’s beloved instruments and golden standards. Featuring mournful fiddle\, “Houston Belongs to Me” already sounds like a classic\, as Sweeney’s resilient narrator lays claim to a hot\, complex city that she loves. “It’s healing: You’re taking ownership of where you are\,” Sweeney says. \nIt’s an idea Sweeney has embraced in various ways throughout her career: Lean into who and what you are––and revel in the liberation that brings. Her fierce independence has allowed her to speak to us with the care of a trusted confidant who sees our hurts and is rooting for us. “I feel like that’s what I grew up loving about music––I felt like I was their friend\,” Sweeney says. “I felt like they were talking––singing––to me.” \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/922134300703419/ \n\nTickets & Event Information \n\n \nSportsmens presentsSunny SweeneyWednesday\, July 29\, 2026 5pm Doors\, 7pm Show$25.00 \nFollowing your instincts is not as easy as Sunny Sweeney makes it look.

Recorded at Tommy Detamore’s Cherry Ridge Studio in Floresville\, Texas\, the album is a compelling snapshot of an artist who knows who she is and what she loves. “I really wanted this album to be a mixture of all the old styles of country music: Jerry Lee Lewis\, Waylon Jennings\, Loretta Lynn\,” Sweeney says\, ticking off a list of some of her idols. “I make music for myself and hope other people like it.” \nIndeed\, the specter of Lewis looms large from the jump\, as the album kicks off with “Find It Where I Can\,” the sauntering\, boozy warning shot recorded by The Killer\, as well as other giants including Waylon Jennings. Sweeney discovered the song during a late-night YouTube deep dive into videos of Lewis and Mickey Gilley hammering away on dueling baby grands. “You know\, they’re cousins\, and their grandmother taught them how to play piano––that’s why their playing style is so similar!” Sweeney says\, relishing the backstory. “And when I heard this song\, I knew I had to record it. It’s not like anything else I have\, and it’s just so fun to sing and play.” \nJubilantly wry “Diamonds and Divorce Decrees” traces the ruins after a marriage ends\, cataloging the pain but looking stubbornly toward happiness. Sweeney has been playing the song live\, and has been struck by how strongly audiences have responded. “One night after we played it\, a guy came up to the stage and said\, ‘I have three days until my divorce is final\, and this song made me know everything is going to be fine\,’” Sweeney says. \nWritten with dear friend and frequent collaborator Brennen Leigh\, “Traveling On” is a superbly crafted heartbreaker showcasing the devastating power of Sweeney’s voice. Written with Ben Chapman and Erin Enderlin\, “Is Tonight the Night (I Make You a Memory)” starts off slow and sad\, before speeding up into a bouncy\, steel-laced shuffle worthy of The Mavericks. Another Enderlin and Sweeney collaboration with the addition of Gary Nicholson\, “I Drink Well with Others” is a winking dancehall duster\, while “As Long as There’s a Honky Tonk”––written with Buddy Owens and Galen Griffin––is a swaggering\, piano-soaked proclamation of independence. \nOne of only two album tracks Sweeney didn’t have a hand in writing\, “Last Hard Bible” nods to the whimsical grit of its writer and original recording artist\, Kasey Chambers\, as Sweeney steers the song firmly into saloon-worthy territory. Chambers and her brother\, Nash\, provide harmonies on Sweeney’s track. When Sweeney joins Chambers for shows in the summer of 2025\, it will mark a full-circle moment for Sweeney\, who is a longtime fan of the Australian singer-songwriter. \nWith crying steel\, “Waiting for a Reason to Stay” tearfully harnesses the potential of conversational songwriting. “I’ve always wondered what was wrong with me\,” Sweeney sings\, opening the song with gut-wrenching directness. What follows is a meditation on the days after you’ve decided to go––but haven’t left yet. “I’ve had records about the bad side of divorce\,” Sweeney says. “This is the light at the end of the tunnel.” Written with Owens and Monty Holmes\, album closer “Half Lit in 3/4 Time” is a masterclass in country songwriting\, as line after line pays tribute to honky tonk’s beloved instruments and golden standards. Featuring mournful fiddle\, “Houston Belongs to Me” already sounds like a classic\, as Sweeney’s resilient narrator lays claim to a hot\, complex city that she loves. “It’s healing: You’re taking ownership of where you are\,” Sweeney says. \nIt’s an idea Sweeney has embraced in various ways throughout her career: Lean into who and what you are––and revel in the liberation that brings. Her fierce independence has allowed her to speak to us with the care of a trusted confidant who sees our hurts and is rooting for us. “I feel like that’s what I grew up loving about music––I felt like I was their friend\,” Sweeney says. “I felt like they were talking––singing––to me.” URL:https://events.wnymedia.net/event/sunny-sweeney-sportsmens/ LOCATION:326 Amherst St\, Buffalo\, NY\, United States\, New York 14207 CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.wnymedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/37285_image_672671472_1459207422673467_4191820754393949334_n.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Sportsmens Tavern":MAILTO:noreply@facebookmail_com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260730T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260730T200000 DTSTAMP:20260718T193504Z CREATED:20260513T200731Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260718T193504Z UID:36893-1785430800-1785441600@events.wnymedia.net SUMMARY:Robert Randolph with Damone Jackson Outcome DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Place will produce the free outdoor summer series\, Thursday & Main\, weekly from June 4th through July 30\, 2026 in Downtown Buffalo at Fountain Plaza.

It is this emotional common ground that he explores throughout the 14 tracks. The notion that we all share some of the same lived reality is one that he hopes can help further expose the societal norm of online cognitive distortion… the belittling of people online\, tearing down others and voicing negative opinions without ever truly knowing the human at the focal point of their discontent. \nThreaded through the record is a quieter admission: that in asking who we really are\, he’s also reckoning with the fear that beyond Le Youth\, he isn’t sure he knows himself at all anymore. The album exists somewhere between a personal diary and a quiet self interrogation\, capturing the tension of trying to understand yourself while the world watches. The album’s intimacy\, the mundane moments\, the messiness and stillness of daily life are all part of the answer he’s searching for; a reminder that identity doesn’t only live on stage but in the unnoticed corners of a day. \nOn who are you really? Le Youth invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and how they interact online\, all whilst trying to remind us that what binds us together can outshine the divisiveness\, as long as we are willing to let it. It’s both a question and a mirror\, asking just as much of him as it does of anyone who listens. \nw/ special guests \nSunset Sundays ’26 ☼𓂃\nMay 24th through Sep 6th\, 2026\nOn the water at Buffalo Riverworks\nFeat. sweeping views & L-Acoustics sound\n5/24 6/7 6/21 7/5 7/19 8/2 8/16 8/30 9/6\nNine Sundays under the sun & stars 6pm – 11pm 21+ \nHosted by\nMNM Presents\nmnmpresents.com \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/3285892171572115/ \n\nTickets & Event Information \n\n \nMNM Presents \nSunset Sundays ’26 ☼𓂃 \nCelebrating our 21st year of house\, breaks\, techno & more; along the water and under the sunsets.
