Last
Friday, we took to the streets in search of a healthy dose of
rock, Buffalo-style, and caught top-notch acts the Alex Lynne
Band, the Gifted Children and Astronaut Lost. The experience begged
the question - why the heck would any music-lovin soul sit
home on a Friday night in Buffalo? Lynne and band offered a powerful
set of her country- and folk-based songs to an appreciative Continental
audience. The singers emotional vocals and elegant melodies
riveted the crowd.

"An amazing night of music took place on February 20, 2003
at Mohawk Place in downtown Buffalo. The twin pairings of singer
songwriter guitarists Alex Lynne and Jim Whitford and headlining
duo Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart gave an appreciative crowd of
one hundred or so patrons an unforgettable night of musical enjoyment.
Opening the evening was Buffalo singer songwriter Alex Lynne and
guitarist Jim Whitford. Her cosmopolitan good looks and disarming
humor belie her strong songwriting and performing skills. Mixing
her own songs with some choice covers, her soft comforting voice
and Whitfords expressive guitar playing had the rapt attention
of the crowd. Highlights of Lynnes set included her own
songs Heartache, December and Shameful
Fire. She punctuated her set with great renditions of Julie
Millers All My Tears and a poignant version
of Jackson Brownes Lives In The Balance.
