Buffalo Nichols at Eddie's Attic
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC'S PICK:
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
From the venue:
Buffalo Nichols live at Eddie's Attic!
Carl Nichols has been releasing music under the Buffalo Nichols moniker since 2021, but his commitment to creative expression dates back to his teens. Whilst his contemporary take on the blues has taken him from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to NPRs Tiny Desk concert series, his refusal to bend to genre expectations has seen him be embraced by the audience at underground music festival Roadburn in The Netherlands, and a recent tour with extreme doom trio, Primitive Man.
In truth, his music owes as much to the traditions of the blues as it does to the fuzz and distortion of shoegaze. Following the lead of his idiosyncratic artistic desires means that Buffalo Nichols continues to confound, continues to experiment, and continues to find new audiences for his heartfelt, emotionally heavy output. Shying away from making something challenging is simply not an option - be that his personal, political lyrics or his sonic exploration missions into the void. Wherever he leads, curious minds will follow.
