Hi everyone, we had an amazing time on our Rocks Off Boat Cruise and we want to thank everyone for their support.  We have an amazing roster of festival appearances to round out 2010 and hope to see you at many of them.  Coming up is "Jammin for the Animals" in Reading PA, "The Big Up" in Ghent NY, "Catskill Chill" in Hancock NY, plus returns to the Wormtown Music festival in Massachussetts and our first trip to Maine.

Finally, we are proud to announce that on Friday, September 10th, BuzzUniverse will be performing at New York City's legendary Mercury Lounge for the first time, with Turbine!

Ladies and Gents, Our third annual Rocks Off Concert Cruise sets off this Friday, July 16th at 7:30 PM (Boarding at 6:30).  It is aboard the Half Moon Cruise Ship leaving from the East 23rd Street Marina.  This year, in lieu of an opening band, we got an amazing DJ to spin old school funk and soul for the first hour of the boat ride, to get everyone pumped. DJ Rockin Rodney Speed plays for the first hour then BuzzUniverse takes over for the last two hours. Tickets for the amazing boat ride are only $20 in advance ($25 at Gate) and are officially on sale now at www.rocksoff.com, where you can find all information. 

2010 has been incredible so far.  Our spring tour took us to the midwest for the first time, the back to New York City where the band opened for Grace Potter & the Nocturnals on Earth Day.  Then the summer kicked off with huge festivals and an opening slot for Galactic at the Brooklyn Bowl.

Our next big festival weekend is July 9-10, when we are very proud to be a part of the Black Potatoe Music Festival in Clinton NJ and the Great South Bay Music Festival in Patchogue (Long Island) NY.  Both events boast stellar eclectic lineups, and we hope to see you at each of these!

BuzzUniverse will be performing at Michael Arnone's Crawfish Festival in Augusta NJ on Saturday June 5th from 3:30-5:00 PM. BuzzU is a last minute fillin for New Orleans blues treasure Mem Shannon, who is sadly in the hospital. BuzzU goes on right after the Stanton Moore Trio featuring Anders Osborne on the Jager Stage.

Then later that evening, at 9 PM Sharp, BuzzU is opening for New Orleans Galactic at the Brooklyn Bowl.  This is going to be a fantastic amazing day of music for the band and we hope to see you at one of these events!!

BuzzUniverse is very proud to announce that they will be opening for New Orleans' legendary Galactic at the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg Brooklyn NY, on Saturday June 5th.  This show will likely sell out, so please buy your tickets today at http://www.brooklynbowl.com !
