The featured show of this week is Mohawk Place Xmas Party.
Buffalo’s Mohawk Place has been a staple of the city’s music scene since 1990. Pete Perrone founded the bar, acting as a godfather to scores of hungry young bands. Occupying the bottom floor of a building built in 1896, the location housed and fed vaudeville performers for several decades before becoming a nightclub. After briefly closing its doors in January 2013, and breaking the hearts of local concert goers, Buffalo’s Mohawk Place has been brought back to life without losing a bit of its trend-setting charm. New owner Richard Platt reopened the historic music venue one year, seven months, and 30 days later, with some important modifications. He repaired the bar, the floors, the roof and plumbing, replacing fixtures, sound and light systems, and doing most of the work himself with a small crew. He’s taken care of technical issues while retaining the same “shot and a beer” dive bar warmth. Along with keeping the hip, old-school vibes, Platt wisely brought back Mohawk Place’s former booking agent, Marty Boratin. Come join another annual holiday celebartion at our iconic local venue this Saturday, December 15th! Featuring performances by Soul Butchers, The Gennies, Pine Fever, Brass Pro & The Waterfront Revivalists, Jimyn The Singing Mime, & Arlowe Price (as Santa)! Doors at 7:00pm, show starts at 8, and it’s only $5 at the door to get in!
