The story so far
Founded in 2018 around Chad Calhoun’s songwriting, Buffalo Star follows personal stories down the back roads between indie rock, alt-country, and Americana.
Chad Calhoun sings and plays guitar alongside Chris Bennett on guitar, Cole Lysons on bass, and Harlan Mark Vale on drums. The songs can lean quiet and close, then open into the kind of chorus that belongs in a room full of people.
Meet the band →From the road
Courthouse lawns, old rooms, festival lights—the songs find a different shape every time people gather around them.
