Buffalo Rocks the Harbor 2012

As summer 2012 gets off to a sunny start, Buffalo and its residents are ready for another great line up for the Buffalo Rocks the Harbor concert series. As Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins would say, “the embers never fade in your city by the lake”. He couldn’t be more right. Located directly on the Buffalo Harbor (hence the name), Buffalo Place provides the music lovers of The Queen City with a wide range of bands and singers to enjoy all throughout the summer. Tickets for the shows held at the Harbor range in price depending on the popularity of the act. They can be anywhere from ten dollars to seventy five dollars, with some select shows being held for free. Having been to a show at the Harbor last summer, I can tell you from experience that it’s a truly amazing and unforgettable experience. Everything from the anticipation and excitement of the concert to the actual event is spectacular. Buffalo Place really sets an interesting environment for their shows. The location of the concerts offers wonderful and even breathtaking views of the beautiful Buffalo landmarks like part of the Erie Canal and Buffalo’s grain mills. The late evening concerts allow for the concert goers to get a perfect view of the sun setting over the water if the weather permits. Also featured at many of the concerts are vendors selling some of the best Buffalonian cuisine (see the Taste of Buffalo blog post!).

Some of the highlights of the concert line-up this summer are:

·         Grace Potter on June 29^th

·         moe. on July 30th

·         Weezer on July 13^th
