An evening with Buffalo Ghost (acoustic) at Cafe No9

Event information

Formed in 2022 by accomplished songwriter Joe Armitage, Buffalo Ghost blends the raw storytelling of Americana with a dynamic range that moves from mellow acoustic ballads to full-throttle rock/blues anthems. Drawing from Joe's rich songwriting tradition and the collective experience of seasoned musicians, the band has quickly carved out a loyal following in their hometown of Sheffield.

With Joe Armitage at the helm—providing captivating vocals, heartfelt guitar, and a deep well of lyrical storytelling—Buffalo Ghost’s sound is both intimate and expansive, evoking the kind of American roots music that feels both timeless and fresh. The band’s rhythm section, featuring Jules Woodman on bass and Smack on drums, provides a steady foundation, while Pete Thompson’s keys add a soulful depth to their sound.

But it’s the unmistakable guitar work of Mark Lyall, a true Sheffield legend, that elevates Buffalo Ghost’s live performances to another level. Whether delivering intricate acoustic melodies or scorching lead lines, Lyall’s playing brings a fiery, electrifying energy to every song.

With an innate ability to shift from poignant, reflective storytelling to full-on rock out, Buffalo Ghost consistently delivers a live experience that feels personal and raw—whether they’re playing to a packed venue or an intimate crowd. Their unique blend of Americana, rock, and roots music has earned them a reputation as one of Sheffield’s most exciting emerging acts.
