"Buffalo is notoriously known as the city of good neighbors, it is in that spirit that we're excited to bring Cobblestone Live! to our community. Though this event is so much more than just a music festival,” said Cory Muscato, partner at Lockhouse Distillery & Bar “It's an opportunity to add another dimension to our city. Putting this together we have the opportunity to work with so many like minded people that share our values and ethics. To be partnered with such a valuable and prolific organization such as Planned Parenthood for this festival was really the cherry on top."
CJ Cook of Sunbeam Entertainment knows the Buffalo music scene like no other, “We find that most music festivals target one specific type of music. Buffalonians have wide taste in music, so we aimed to put together an extremely eclectic line up spanning genres of rock, folk, electronic, funk, hip-hop, country, and more. This festival will grow and continue to bring new tourists down to our developing downtown region.”
"There's not much Buffalo doesn't have; from our music and art to our people, history and food. If there's one thing Buffalo loves more than anything it's Buffalo.” proclaimed Josh Holtzman, general manager of Buffalo Iron Works, “Many other cities have gone down a similar path and we feel the time is right to bring it to Buffalo. Looking around at all the eclectic establishments here in the Cobblestone District it only seemed natural to bring them together for such a positive event. We are a neighborhood, so why not work together as a united front to put on a music festival and raise money for such an impactful nonprofit organization. We couldn't be happier that it's all coming to fruition."
