Details & RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Fjododxm3/

This Halloween, Soul Butchers Hail the Boognish with a huge set of Ween covers. Helping us out on bass this year is the invincible Nick Gonzales so Rob can dazzle you with his keyboard, EWI, and guitar skills. Rumor has it, there might be some other special guests as well...

As the mighty David Gutierrez would say: CONSIDER IT!

Tuesdays at Nietzsche’s.

Each one starts with Happy Hour from 6-8:30pm featuring Buffalo’s Americana pioneers the Steam Donkeys (Est. 1991). Like a finely aged boutique bourbon, the band is now as smooth as a flat wound guitar string, and strong enough to pull you up out of your deepest funk.

But don’t take our word for it. Drop by and discover why so many satisfied revelers start their weekends off in style on Tuesday nights at Nietzsche’s.

Plus, Joe Bellanti is back in town and rocking the keys again this week!

Music. Comedy. Enlightenment. FREE!
