Mississippi’s own Buffalo Nickel have been writing and performing together since 1999. They have taken their brand of honk-n-roll music from Austin, TX, to New York City. Their debut release on Plowhandle Records, UP ON BLOCKS, showcases their wit and their range of musical influences. They are currently wrapping up recording for “Noise And Conversation,” their follow-up album to be released later this year.
“Up On Blocks” peaked at #66 on the radio airplay chart of the Americana Music Association and was also on the “most added” list. Most recently, in April 2004, the band won first place in the”Battle Of The Country Bands” sponsored by radio station B-95 in Hattiesburg.
Last year, Buffalo Nickel had a track on CMJ’s “Certain Damage” compilation ( #130) and their song “I Am Evil” was featured in the closing credits to the indie film “Eden’s Curve” which was screened at film festivals around the country as well as overseas. Also, they were favorably reviewed in Roots Town and Freight Train Boogie.
Buffalo Nickel has opened for Star Room Boys, Leon Russell, Charlie Mars, Maroon 5, Luther Wright & The Wrongs, the Doobie Brothers, Confederate Railroad, Cary Hudson, Cookout, Mike West, and others.
