Eric Hutchinson at Buffalo Iron Works | June 18, 2026
A solo acoustic show at an intimate club is a specific kind of good — close enough to the stage that you catch every expression, every moment where the performer reaches deeper into a song you thought you already knew. That is what Eric Hutchinson is bringing to Buffalo Iron Works on Thursday, June 18.
About Eric Hutchinson
Hutchinson’s career started with one of those origin stories that felt like a fluke until it wasn’t. His 2007 self-released debut, Sounds Like This, hit number five on the iTunes Store and debuted at number one on the Billboard Heatseekers chart — the highest-charting album by an unsigned artist in iTunes history at the time. That kind of debut sets expectations, and Hutchinson has spent the years since meeting them across a catalog that moves between piano pop, soul, folk, Americana, and jazz like he cannot help himself.
He is back now with Repeating Myself, his first new album in four years — described as a joyous return to the piano pop and singer-songwriter soul of his debut. The record developed while Hutchinson was celebrating the 15th anniversary of Sounds Like This, and that context is audible: he wanted something immediate and raw, and by all accounts he found it.
The setlist pulls from the new record alongside the fan staples — “Tell the World,” “A Little More,” “Dear Me” — plus tracks from across a catalog with more depth than its radio-friendly surface suggests. Solo acoustic, all of it. The kind of format that strips everything back to the songs themselves.
