Tickets still available for tonight's Sheepdogs show at Town Ballroom

BUFFALO -- Canadian rock band the Sheepdogs will make a Queen City appearance tonight at Town Ballroom -- and there's still tickets remaining.

The band, which formed a decade ago in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is comprised of lead singer and guitarist Ewan Currie, his brother Shamus Currie on trombone, keyboard and tambourine, bass guitarist Ryan Gullen, drummer Sam Corbett, and guitarist Jimmy Bowskill.

The band describes itself as "pure, simple, good-time music" with their most recognizable song, "I Don't Know" sounding almost like Southern Rock. In fact, Currie often credits groups Sly and the Family Stone, Humble Pie, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Allman Brothers Band as influences on his style.

Tickets to tonight's show start at just $17. They're available online.

Metric concert converted to Town Ballroom

BUFFALO -- A concert that had been slated for Friday at Artpark will now take place at Town Ballroom, according to a release by Artpark.

The release, offered on the venue's Facebook page, does not explain the reason for the relocation, but states that the show will still begin at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m. -- just as it was to have been at Artpark. It also states that tickets bought through Artpark will be honored.

The full release follows:

Funtime Presents announces that the Metric concert scheduled for this Friday, September 23 at Artpark’s Mainstage Theater and managed by Funtime Presents has been relocated to the Town Ballroom (681 S. Main Street, Buffalo) in what will be a rare club appearance for the band. The concert, featuring opener Humble Braggers, will keep the same start time of 8pm with doors opening at 7pm.

All tickets purchased through Artpark will be honored at the Town Ballroom and those ticket buyers will be given an early entry opportunity. Will call tickets can be picked up at the Town Ballroom on the day of the concert. Limited tickets are still available for $48.00 and can be purchased online at www.townballroom.com or by phone at 716-852-3900.

Patrons with relocation or ticket issues may call the Town Ballroom at 716-852-3900.

Some Facebook comments expressed displeasure with the relocation for one reason or another -- largely the change from ticketed seats to a general admission venue. Artpark replied to all with a suggestion to contact Town Ballroom.
