Details:
Original, acoustic rock stemming from the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Guster, Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews Band, is the best way to describe the sound of Off the Cuff.

The Buffalo-based band offers a bright, refreshing sound to the local music scene by incorporating impressive harmonies, polished rhythms and solid lyrics into their songs. The bandâs melodies offer a welcome escape from the mainstream music sceneâs pop music.

The band started as a trio in August of 2005 playing private parties, coffee shops and opening for several large local acts, such as Scott Celani, the WAKOS, the Feast and Speed Limit 7. They have since added a bassist and a sax/flute soloist to the team and have been building a great fan base in the Western New York area.
