Molly Maguires

We are honored to participate in a very special boxing event bringing young men and women from Ireland to Buffalo for the “Battle of Buffalo”. Here’s our boxer! We just met him yesterday. His name is Cian O'Neil from County Westmeath, Ireland. He’s 17 and will be heading to the ring in a Mollys shirt. Cian just won his fight in Boston last week and we’ll be ringside Friday cheering him on! 🇮🇪 🇺🇸

Special thanks to Paddy Gorman for two years of hard work and planning to bring an event of this magnitude to our city. It is not an easy feat! Check out the link in comments for more info on the event and how to get tickets. It’s going to be a great night!

Friday 5/31/24 | The Alison Pipitone Band

When it comes to rock ‘n’ roll, the Alison Pipitone Band is gritty in all the right ways – spirited, purposeful and bold. Like the city it calls home, this Buffalo-based quintet is a gem to be discovered.

Guitar in hand, singer/songwriter Alison Pipitone has fanned the rock flame since the mid-1990s. Her devotion brought standing as “high priestess” of the Buffalo rock scene and membership in the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame.

Since 2005, she has led the Alison Pipitone Band – Ben Clarke (bass) Graham Howes (guitar), Natalie Pipitone Howes (backing vocals, percussion) and Patrick Shaughnessy (drums). The band has twice claimed a Buffalo Music Award for Top Original Rock Act.

Pipitone’s songs marry thought-provoking lyrics, catchy choruses and cleverly turned phrases with punchy power chords and melodic hooks. It’s rock ‘n’ roll in its most pure form. Show starts at 8:00.
