Buffalo Iron Works books the kind of shows that feel like a secret until the week before — and then everyone you know is scrambling for tickets. On Tuesday, October 13, Alana Springsteen brings her I Hope This Helps Tour to the 500-capacity club at 49 Illinois St. Tickets start at $25. This one has a short window.
About Alana Springsteen
Springsteen grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, picking up a guitar at seven, writing her first song at nine, and signing her first publishing deal at fourteen. Her 2023 debut TWENTY SOMETHING (Columbia Records NY/Sony Music Nashville) made a strong case that she was among the sharpest voices in her generation of country songwriters.
The Buffalo stop supports her sophomore album I Hope This Helps, out May 29 via Santa Anna Nashville — 16 tracks she co-wrote and co-produced while playing guitar and piano throughout. Lead singles “note to self” and “black sheep” are emotionally direct and specific in the way that holds up past the first listen. She has cleared 404 million streams worldwide, scored her first No. 1 with “Hot Honey” (a collaboration with DJ Tiësto), played Stagecoach, and toured with Keith Urban. Grammy.com, People, and E! News have all taken notice. See her now, before this room stops being the right size.
About Kyle Schuesler
Opening the night is Kyle Schuesler, an indie-folk musician from Huntington Beach, California. If you watched Season 25 of NBC’s The Voice, you know what he can do with a mic — he turned chairs from John Legend, Dan + Shay, and Reba McEntire in his blind audition before landing on Team Dan + Shay. He cites Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, and Zach Bryan as touchstones, and plays guitar, mandolin, piano, and harmonica. He joins the tour from October 8 onward.
Venue: Buffalo Iron Works
Buffalo Iron Works is a 500-capacity club at 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY 14203 — one of the better mid-size rooms in Western New York’s live music circuit. A bill this strong in a room this size is worth getting there by doors.

Tickets start at $25.00. Showtime is 8:00 PM on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
