Folkfaces

“Folkfaces is arguably the most ubiquitous roots-Americana band in upstate New York. If you love hearing music live, you've probably caught the Buffalo-based quartet's infectious blend of bluegrass, folk, blues, and hot jazz. Led by tireless frontman Tyler Westcott, Folkfaces are sure to paste a smile on your face with lightning-fast musical chops wrapped up in punk rock energy. The band recently released "PLUMS" - its first album with newest member Brendan Gosson on fiddle and mandolin - which includes a full-band version of Westcott's brilliant and charming “When Lockdown Lifts." - Daniel Kushner CITY Paper
