Buffalo Wabs and the Price Hill Hustle hail from Cincinnati where they have been crafting a sound that is both rooted in tradition and refreshed by modern sensibilities. This four-piece ensemble confronts the raw expanse of American music, and their upcoming self-titled album merges the timeless echoes of traditional Americana with the turbulent force of modern rock and folk.

The band is known for their diverse range, moving seamlessly from high-energy, foot-stomping numbers to rich, harmony-laden ballads. Their odyssey through the Mid-Atlantic and beyond—spanning the harsh winters of Colorado and Minnesota to the verdant hills of Asheville and upstate New York—has been a journey through both grand stages and humble taverns. The group’s performances focus on delivering a moment that feels as genuine as a home-cooked meal shared with friends.

Their guiding philosophy is simple: “If it doesn’t stir the soul, it ain’t soup.” This motto reflects their commitment to creating music that resonates deeply and authentically with each audience they encounter. All shows are approached with a sense of sincerity, aiming to connect with their audience on a personal level seldomly seen.

Buffalo Wabs and the Price Hill Hustle offer an experience that’s as heartening as a tale told by the fireside. Their new album promises to be a testament to their ability to blend the old with the new, providing a musical journey that is both engaging and sincerely moving.
