The Colors of Local Music
Growing up, the idea of community connected deeply with me, and local music exemplifies this. I vividly recall one evening at a performance by Dead Alliance Buffalo, a local Grateful Dead cover band. The energy was palpable, with fans dancing in their colorful tie-dye shirts while the band played captivating melodies.
In that moment, it felt less like a concert and more like a family reunion, where everyone was welcome. Each note resonated with a sense of freedom and joy. Those nights of dancing and singing alongside strangers who quickly became friends greatly enriched my appreciation for local talent and the vibrant community surrounding it.

Their live shows are a sensory explosion, blending classic funk with modern flair. I had the pleasure of talking to the band members after one of their performances, and they have all became friends and a huge support in my journey where George and Damone can both be seen rocking some of my psychedelic tie dye creations.
