July 9th named "Soulive Day" by the Mayor of Buffalo, NY!!!

Soulive Day in Buffalo to be capped with a free concert downtown tonight!

On occasion of the free homecoming concert from Buffalo natives and City Honors High School alumni Alan & Neal Evans, co-founders of the internationally acclaimed group Soulive, a proclamation has been made by Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown making July 9th, “Soulive Day in the City of Buffalo.” Recognizing the Evans brothers’ ascension to a worldwide sensation over the course of the past decade, the proclamation will take place as Soulive takes the stage in the plaza outside HSBC Tower during the second installment of The Buffalo News Tower Jam, a free concert series at the foot of the tallest building in town. The Buffalo News Tower Jam, presented by Roaming Buffaloes, Labatt USA, Try-It Distributing, Pearl Street Grill & Brewery, The City of Buffalo, and The Good Neighborhood, kicks off at 4:30 p.m. with upstart rockers Free Henry! followed by survival blues spokesmen Jony James Band. Soulive takes the stage at 6:30. Partial proceeds from the Tower Jam support the Buffalo Police Athletic League.

I didn't make the trip from Rochester because of the rain. I thought it would be a washout. I was going to introduce my 10 year old son to the live rage.

Had a great time @ the show. It was cool that their hometown of Buffalo recognized them by declaring July 9 Soulive day. Few sounds problems during the 1st few cuts but the soundmen got them cleared up but as usual they put on a great funky set. They we're doing an aftershow with members of Lettuce & members from I believe a local band. I didn't make that but a funky good time was had on the HSBC Tower.
