Canaan Cox at Buffalo Iron Works on May 8 brings rising country to Western New York. Cox is part of the current wave of Nashville artists who are building careers through touring and streaming rather than waiting for radio to catch up — his music blends traditional country influences with a modern production sensibility that appeals to listeners who want their country with both substance and polish.
Iron Works in Buffalo’s Cobblestone District is an intimate setting for a country act, but the venue’s sound handles the genre well, and the Western New York audience for country music continues to grow as more Nashville-based artists include Buffalo on their routing.
