The Phantom Blues Band live in Buffalo

Experience The Phantom Blues Band live on July 7th

The Phantom Blues Band will perform at Babeville in Buffalo, New York on July 7, 2026. The Phantom Blues Band is recognized for its authentic and energetic blues sound, deeply rooted in the tradition of Chicago and West Coast blues. The group’s music features tight arrangements, strong horn sections, and a focus on instrumental proficiency, often drawing comparisons to the work of artists like Muddy Waters and Little Walter. Formed in the early 2000s by former members of the legendary Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers, they continue to carry forward a legacy of classic blues performance.

Babeville is a multi-venue arts center located in Buffalo’s historic Theatre District. Originally constructed in 1926 as the Ellicott Square Building, it underwent extensive renovations and reopened as Babeville in 2006. The complex comprises several performance spaces including the Asbury Hall – a converted warehouse space known for its intimate atmosphere and diverse musical programming – and the DBRL (Deep Blue Records & Listening) Lounge. Babeville aims to foster a vibrant arts community through live music, visual arts exhibitions, and other cultural events within a historically significant building.
