New Country Festival Coming to Buffalo’s Outer Harbor

This summer, another big concert is coming to Western New York at the Outer Harbor at Terminal B. It is a new country festival that will feature a lot of up and comers through Nashville. The festival, called the Country Rising Festival will come through Buffalo this August.

Now, the acts coming are certainly not your mainstream or traditional sounding country artists, but they have success and have gained a lot of fans over the past couple of years. The Country Rising Festival is a traveling festival that will hit up a bunch of cities this summer with the lineup adjusting minimally in most cities. On the website, it describes the festival as:

a one-day festival featuring artists redefining country music, plus line dancing, great food and drinks, VIP lounges, & much more.

Tickets are on sale for Country Rising Festival. Terminal B has been a great addition to the Western New York music scene. The only trouble is really parking, but other than that it is a beautiful venue over looking the water, spacious, on an incline so there is no bad seat in the house and just a great venue all around for small to mid sized concerts.
