Drake Milligan at Buffalo Iron Works on May 12 brings one of Nashville’s rising stars to Western New York. Milligan first gained attention on “America’s Got Talent” and has since built a career on his own terms — his music blends classic country swing with a modern honky-tonk edge, and his stage presence carries the confidence of an artist who grew up studying the moves of Elvis Presley (whom he portrayed in the CMT series “Sun Records”).
Iron Works in Buffalo is an intimate room for a Nashville act on the rise. The venue’s sound handles country music well, and a Monday night show at this scale is a chance to see Milligan before the rooms get significantly larger.
