First time at the NBM Legend’s Room, Walter Parks will be bringing his combination of captivating lyrics and fiery grooves. Get your tickets now! Inspired by the swampy gospel blues that wails from storefront churches and roadhouses in and around the southeast Georgia low country, Parks' style is full of boot-stomping, guitar-strumming tunes that explore matters of the soul and spirit, built upon a foundation of jazz and folk.

Buffalo Rose is a wildly charismatic six-piece modern folk/Americana band from Pittsburgh that will change your entire perspective on acoustic music. They take the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive, meticulously arranged, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in. The band released their debut album, The Soil and the Seed, in 2018 and established themselves as a vocal, instrumental, and creative force. Since then, Buffalo Rose has dropped two EPs, 2019’s Big Stampede and 2020’s Borrowed and Blue, opened for the Wood Brothers, Mipso, Pokey LaFarge, Tyler Childers, Infamous Stringdusters, and shared a festival stage with the legendary Sam Bush. The band’s upward trajectory will continue into 2022 with an upcoming EP created in collaboration with Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Tom Paxton, scheduled for release on February 22nd, followed by a new full-length LP later in the year.

Buffalo Rose’s lineup of Lucy Clabby (vocals), Margot Jezerc (vocals), Bryce Rabideau (mandolin), Malcolm Inglis (dobro), Jason Rafalak (upright bass), and Shane McLaughlin (guitar, vocals) pushes itself and each other far beyond their perceived limits and blends their diverse and atypical approach to songwriting with the desire to see how unique a song can get and still feel like home. They use powerful vocal harmonies, strong playing, and an original vision to operate at every possible emotional level and put on dynamic live shows that are unforgettable experiences. They go from up and moving to sad and sweet and back again, bringing the entire audience along. This combination of artistry and enthusiasm makes Buffalo Rose one of the most vital and important groups working today. Rather than play the folk music of the past, the band gleefully combines genres and ideas together to move acoustic music forward to a new, contemporary place without ever losing sight of its roots. Fans of Lake Street Dive, Nickel Creek, and Punch Brothers will find much to like in this crew. Anyone seeking compelling new acoustic music needs to join Buffalo Rose in the future right now.

When Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas, they enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese. Then they confront a problem that even being a happy family can’t solve: When identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man? From playwright Young Jean Lee in March 2013, “As an experiment, I wrote a straight white male character who did all of the things I’ve heard people say they wished straight white men would do: acknowledge your privilege, shut up and listen, don’t take up too much room, don’t think you know everything, put yourself in others’ shoes. The result: NOBODY liked him.”

The 2023 Annual St. Louis Walk for the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Foundation is Sunday, October 8, from 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM at Tower Grove Park, Sons of Rest Pavilion, St. Louis, MO. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic kidney diseases. PKD causes uncontrolled growth of fluid-filled cysts in both kidneys, often leading to kidney failure. There are an estimated 600,000 Americans and 12.4 million people worldwide who have been diagnosed with PKD. There are probably many more than that who are undiagnosed as it generally is not discovered until someone reaches middle age. Once a person has kidney failure; transplant or dialysis are the only options to treat the damage the disease has caused. PKD patients are in urgent need of treatments and a cure.  The PKD Foundation is the only organization in the United States SOLELY dedicated to finding treatments and a cure for PKD. It was founded on August 20, 1982. The national office is located in Kansas City, Missouri. The St. Louis PKD Community is part of over 50 PKD Communities across the United States. As Jean Sommer, the St. Louis Chapter and Walk Coordinator, said, “The Walk for PKD is in full swing. We are rallying walkers and collecting donations. We surpassed our goal last year and we plan on keeping the momentum going this year. The Walk for PKD is your opportunity to put your passion to end PKD into action! As our signature fundraising event, 100% of donations made to the Walk will go to critical PKD research to help find treatments and a cure.” Take the time today to register a team, register individually, join a team, and/or gather team members to register and donate. To register or donate, visit: www.walkforpkd.org/stlouis. Note: December 31 is the last day for collecting 2023 St. Louis Walk for PKD donations.

Our mission: WE GIVE HOPE. We fund research, advocate for patients, and build a community for all impacted by polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Our vision is to #endPKD. Visit www.pkdcure.org for more information about the PKD Foundation and the St. Louis PKD Community.

Eric & Suzy have devoted their lives to the pursuit of weird and obscure old-time American music – warped fiddle tunes in odd tunings, cinematic ballads, country blues songs that contain mysterious metaphors, early Cajun music with incomprehensible French lyrics and backwards chords. Using fiddle, mandolin, guitars, Cajun accordion, banjo (and the occasional odd instrument such as the ten-stringed cuatro) they bring these early 20th century sounds right into the present day. Eric’s flatpicking on guitar and mandolin is exceptional for its purity of tone, speed, and soulfulness; Suzy is a powerful singer, an award-winning fiddler and Cajun accordion player who has apprenticed with older generation Louisiana Cajun musicians under an NEA Fellowship. Founding members of many influential roots music groups including the Black Mountain Boys, Any Old Time, the Klezmorim, and the California Cajun Orchestra, Eric and Suzy have also worked with Maria Muldaur, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Jim Kweskin, Geoff Muldaur, Jerry Garcia, Darol Anger, Laurie Lewis, the Savoy Doucet Cajun Trio, and many other fine musicians.
