AMM Jan 8 2026

Buffalo Nichols residency starts tonight at C-Boy’s.

You could hear a pin drop. With understated command, Buffalo Nichols holds sway in any room as he dives headlong into every darkened corner of the blues. That’s what the blues is. Dark, raw, unapologetic; unrestrained truth rising to the surface. Nichols, harkening to the early Delta days, brings that immense power into the present, genuine and relevant as ever.

Born in Houston, raised in Milwaukee, and based in Austin. Today’s AMM Love Austin Music Month recommendation is Buffalo Nichols’ January residency kickoff show at 10 p.m. tonight at C-Boy’s on S. Congress. And get your vinyl copy of The Fatalist, while you can.
