Editor’s note: HEaRD IN WNY is a new weekly feature on All WNY News by contributor Greg Burt highlighting what he considers to be the best shows of the week for fans of live local music. Burt is a keyboardist and sound guy, probably best known for his work promoting local shows through For the Music Productions.


This week’s top show: Jabbapalooza: 8 p.m. Friday ($5) and all day Saturday ($15/$20) at Soliday’s, 3964 Lockport Road, Niagara Falls.

I mean, Jabbapalooza is a party every year.

So many of the biggest Rock/Metal bands come together for a double header double stage and some proceeds are going to help local musician Mike Miller who has been diagnosed with Cancer and has medical bills piling up.

Pig roast, beer, a crazy good line up, what more could you ask for?

If you can’t make it to Jabbapalooza, there’s much more to be HEaRD in WNY this week, including:
