Spotlight: Rock Autism

Buffalo has always been an ardently flourishing music town, filled with people who want to help the scene and benefit worthy causes. Recently, those passions have escalated, as two individuals came together to start a new music and philanthropic movement in the Buffalo area. That’s where musician Max Muscato and event planner Alea Conte come in. The friends, who met each other three years ago by chance at one of Max’s concerts at Mr. Goodbar, started a nonprofit called Rock Autism this past October.

Spotlight: 180 Smoke Vape Store

Walking into the new vape shop on Elmwood, 180 Smoke Vape Store, isn’t exactly like walking into your typical vape store. It feels more like walking into an Apple store with its sleek countertops, matching mod stools, and glass cases full of vaping accessories. Behind the counter is a huge array of what I guess you’d have to call craft vape juice. The company makes its own juice and almost strictly sells that.

Carmina Burana

[CLASSICAL MUSIC] This weekend at Kleinhans Music Hall, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Buffalo Philharmonic Choir present a treat: a performance of Carl Orff’s powerful and magical Carmina Burana, the composer’s adaptation of a collection of secular medieval poems. It is, apart from his musical education program for children, the work for which Orff is most famous, and rightly so.

Second Sundays @ Skateland
