Thursday & Main: Lazlo Hollyfeld with One Foot Up

Buffalo Place is proud to announce the 10th Anniversary season of Thursday & Main, Downtown Buffalo’s free outdoor summer concert series, returning to Fountain Plaza weekly from June 4th through July 30th (with no event on July 2nd). Presented by M&T Bank, the milestone season will feature a dynamic and diverse lineup of local favorites, nationally touring acts, and crowd-pleasing favorites & continuing a decades-long tradition of bringing live music to the heart of Downtown.

This free, open-to-the-public happy hour concert series, held Thursday evenings at Fountain Plaza on Main Street (south of Chippewa Street), carries forward the mission of Thursday at the Square: to create vibrancy in Downtown Buffalo while supporting local restaurants, bars, and businesses through increased foot traffic and community engagement.

On Thursday, July 9th, the series returns following a brief Independence Day break with local favorites Lazlo Hollyfeld. Led by Buffalo music community leader Sonny Baker, the trio is known for its expansive, instrumental-driven soundscapes and dynamic live improvisation. Long regarded as a staple of the region’s jam and progressive rock scene, Lazlo Hollyfeld’s performances balance intricate musicianship with atmospheric build, creating a deeply immersive listening experience that resonates with both dedicated fans and new audiences alike. Opening the evening, Buffalo-based One Foot Up will kick things off with a high-energy blend of original alternative rock and familiar covers, delivering a guitar-driven set built for the live stage.
