Pointless Brothers Reunite for Two Shows

 

            It’s time for another cool, has-it-been-that-long band reunion, as the Pointless Brothers Band, one of the best and most popular bluegrass, acoustic, swing and folk rock bands from Buffalo, will perform two shows with its original lineup, only the second time in 21 years it has done, in July.

            The first show will be held from 7-10 p.m. Monday, July 16, at the Sportsmen’s Lounge, 326 Amherst Street near Grant Street in Buffalo, with admission $10, and the second will be a free show from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, July 17, at Bassett Park, Young and Klein Roads, Williamsville. The Pointless Brothers are celebrating the band's 35 years of music.

            The Pointless Brothers Band is made up of: Mike Stern, electric and acoustic guitars and mandolin; Charlie Ranney on banjo and backing vocals; Judd Sunshine on bass and backing vocals, and Peter Seman on violin and lead vocals.

            Not so coincidentally, I am listening to the Pointless Brothers “Hyperspace,” their song on the “Airwaves Showcase Volume 1” vinyl album of Buffalo College of Musical Knowledge (BCMK) Records artists as I write this paragraph. I have a feeling there will be lots of friend reunions at these shows as well.
