​

The Buffalo Skinners are a blues rock & roll group at heart, but glimmers of their folk and country roots are always on show.

 

In their thirteenth year together as The Buffalo Skinners, 2024 marks an exciting new chapter for Peter (guitar & vocals) & James (violin & vocals)... Fellow founding member Lawrence Menard is  back in the fold on Accordion, Keys & Electric Guitar, and with new members Clare Quinn, David Haynes and Becca Philip on bass, drums and backing vocals respectively  - the band now find themselves fully submerged in a lively electric sound that they'd only previously dipped their toes into on tracks like ‘Monkey On Your Back.’ A 2023 Spring tour announced the band's return to live performances after a 4 year hiatus.

​

Their latest album ‘Picking Up What You’re Putting Down’ is the first to feature Lawrence since 2014’s album ‘The Other Nine-to-Five’ and includes the single ‘Washing My Hands.’ The record’s penultimate track ‘Regret, Regret’ (an 8 minute long, many versed musing on the song’s title subject) includes cameos from members of Holy Moly & The Crackers and Rob Heron and The Pad Orchestra.

​

The Buffalo Skinners' adventures  have taken them all over (USA, Ireland, France, Germany, Norway) and they've performed at some of the most renowned music festivals in the UK (Glastonbury, BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park, Cambridge Folk Festival, Tramlines, Deer Shed) Their music has earned the attention, air-play and esteem of many high profile BBC radio DJs including Steve Lamacq, Bob Harris, Cerys Matthews, Janice Long, Paul Jones and Dermot O'Leary. Their new album ‘Picking Up What You're Putting Down’ is out March 2024.
