Tonight: 2nd Annual Neil Young Tribute


The latest in The Good Neighborhood’s bimonthly Tributaries series supporting Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper offers an unusual twist – the second annual Neil Young tribute concert at Nietzsche’s (248 Allen St, doors @9/show@10, $8) will feature not only five local acts performing all Young songs all night with no repeats, but the return to Buffalo and The Good Hood of Neil’s sister, Astrid, who has performed on five of her brother’s albums and will sing with multiple local acts as well as perform a set of her own takes on Neil’s tunes.

In bringing back one of the biggest nights at Nietzsche’s in 2011, the second annual Young tribute will again take up two stages – beginning on the back stage and alternating with front room performances are the male/female vocals of Americana quintet Flatbed; an acoustic set from Tom Maynor & Friends; Astrid Young’s own acoustic set and her addition to the folk-rockin’ heavenly harmonies of Ten Cent Howl; groove-folk quartet the Bad Growlers; An Astrid-infused rust-rockin’ finale from a beefed-up version of Bearhunter and a last minute addition featuring Folkfaces.

To recap:
