CRITIC’S PICK: Buffalo Nichols
Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Wed., May 27
Buffalo Nichols
Eddie’s Attic
Some artists take many years, even decades, to change their sound. Contemporary bluesman Buffalo Nichols has accomplished that in just a short time. He shifted from the traditionally oriented acoustic folk blues of his Fat Possum label debut in 2021, to a psychedelic, but still solo, bluesman in the course of just two albums. Recent singles find him in a sort of grunge/metal mode, still informed by the acoustic blues with which he began his solo career, but amped up to insurgent, ominous, sometimes scary levels. One of his newest songs, “Precious Nothing,” edges into a loud, grimy, stoner rock groove… not typical Eddie’s fare. It’s unclear what you’ll hear tonight, but it’s definitely worth checking out for blues lovers with open minds. — Hal Horowitz
