Seance at the Sanctuary

[ELECTRONIC/DANCE]  This séance is what you make of it: a multimedia mélange of music and visual art to stimulate all the senses. It’s just one in an ongoing series of events to help support Asha Sanctuary, a 27 acre facility in Niagara County where rescued farm animals are let to grow and flourish without fear. The concept is that by letting folks come and interact with the animals to get a feel for their gentle, loving spirit, veganism will be promoted.

Bobby Rydell

[POP] At 73, Bobby Rydell’s teen idol days are long over, but his health is good as new: following at double organ transplant surgery in mid 2012, resulting in a new liver and kidneys, he’s performing like a kid again. At one time he was signed to the Parkway label that launched the career of Chubby Checker, and Rydell’s success was just as (if not more) intense, especially for a boy barely into his teens.

Meet Me in March

[ROCK] Local punk-poppers Meet Me in March have gone quiet the last few years, but they’re back on Sunday night with what’s rumored to be the original lineup for a gig upstairs at the Studio at the Waiting Room. Supporting the lads will be Kill the Clock and Ed Slowinski’s acoustic emo project, Winski, which is celebrating the release of a new five-song EP, Drawn in the Sand.

Kourt Jester

[HIP HOP] Inspired by Eminem and Ludacris, among others, Jamestown native Maxwell Barba got bitten by the hip hop bug at an early age, and he began rapping at the age of 10. Now 8 years on, 2015’s Bull in a China Shop EP generated more than just a regional buzz, and the first single from his forthcoming full length, Introspection, entitled “Back from the Dead,” is already out (with the rest to follow later this year).

Heartsick

[METAL] Out of Lansing, Michigan, Heartsick are an up-and-coming metal band with a fierce hometown following. If that energy transfers across a couple of great lakes it yet to be seen, but Buffalo metal fans can find out for themselves when the band comes to Mohawk Place on Sunday, January 17 with support from Slender, Lunar Eyes, the Impurity, Unrest Within, and Lucid Serenity.

Igloo presents: January

[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] The Igloo crew had to, unfortunately, skip their New Year’s Eve party this year, but they’re still grinding away at their monthly party at the Gypsy Parlor. This month’s edition, which takes place this Saturday, January 16, will feature Rufus Gibson, Buzz Trillington, JP, and Bflo Lydia spinning house and techno deep into the night.

Happy Birthday Mozart

[CLASSICAL] The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra cuts short its usual January vacation to treat listeners to a special and in many ways unique program this Friday morning at 10am and Saturday evening at 8pm in Kleinhans Music Hall. You will hear not one, not two, but three Buffalo premieres. In addition will be Mozart’s (born January 27, 1756 [Aquarius]) unique foray into a venerable musical form and both one of his first and last symphonies.

A Red Affair

[FUNDRAISER] You can see the bones of steel now being filled in by workers at the site of the new children’s hospital being erected on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, but you can’t see the many forces at work that keep streams of charity flowing to our health care industry that make our facilities better prepared to treat our entire community. If you want to see that, come crimson-clad in your finest attire to SoHo Burger Bar this Sunday for their third annual Red Affair. A $40 donation to the new John R.
