Starry Night 2009

One of the cooler things I get to do each year is put together the lineup for our premier event, Starry Night in the Garden. Mark your calendar for June 24th! Starry Night is Buffalo's #1 outdoor concert and wine event, with gourmet food tasting and great live music. Tickets are on sale now, so don't wait, because we sell out every year. Best of all, proceeds benefit one of Buffalo's architectural treasures, the Buffalo Botanical Gardens.

This year we have 3 awesome acts. Our headliner, Matt Nathanson, has two hits this year alone ("Come On Get Higher" and "Falling Apart"), and his concerts are selling out everywhere. To see Matt's recent in-studio performance in the Star Lounge, click here!

Mat Kearney should be very familiar to Star Listeners. We have been playing his first hit "Nothing Left To Lose" for the last 2 years, and his new single "Closer To Love" is climbing the charts, and now playing on Star 102.5. Hear more of Mat's music here, and be sure to check out a recent live performance here.


Safetysuit has already played Buffalo once, and they've been on the road for the last several years with Hinder, 3 Doors Down, Seether, and Puddle of Mudd, to name a few. Their new single "Stay" is in our Top 20, and they spent some time recently with Rob Lucas in the Star Lounge. Check out that in-studio performance here!

I love Starry Night because it's a beautiful setting, outdoors on the grounds of the Botanical Gardens, and there's a phenomenal array of food and drink. For $40 you get dinner and a surprisingly intimate live music experience.

If you've never gone, make this your year to experience it!
