There is a story Marc Scibilia tells about his high school guidance counselor. When he said he wanted to be a songwriter, the response landed like a dismissal: What are you going to do? Go to Nashville and write songs? He left for East Nashville at 18 and spent the next two decades proving the point: a publishing deal, a major-label run, songs on FOX’s Bones, a Super Bowl commercial that became the most-Shazamed moment of that broadcast, tours opening for James Bay and Zac Brown Band. Then, during the pandemic, he built a home studio, started posting videos, and watched a cover of The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” trend to No. 1 on Instagram. The rest moved fast: a billion streams, his first world tour, sold-out nights across Europe and North America.
He’s calling this Tuesday night show “To Buffalo, With Love.” That is not an accidental title. Scibilia is a Buffalo native — raised here in a working-class family of Lebanese and Italian heritage — and this is a homecoming in the fullest sense.
About the Show
The September 22 date falls on the No One Knows My Name Tour, named for his 2026 single, a song Scibilia has described as being about “people who live quiet beautiful lives,” which reads as a direct line back to the Buffalo he grew up in. His March 2026 single “By Your Side,” released on Good Lander Records, continues the run of new material. The album underneath it all is More To This (November 2024): a collection anchored by a title track that began with mortality questions Scibilia’s daughter asked at bedtime and widened into a reckoning that also addresses the death of his own father. He describes himself as “a folk rocker and multi-instrumental virtuoso known for his husky vocals,” and his live shows are built around the looping technique he developed during the pandemic, one man layering multiple instruments in real time. No support act is listed for the night.
Venue & Logistics
Electric City sits at 433 Pearl Street in Buffalo’s Theater District, in a room whose name comes from local history: Buffalo was America’s first electrified city, powered by Nikola Tesla’s vision in 1896. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.; the show begins at 7:00 p.m. Electric City’s own announcement confirms Scibilia is “back,” making this a return to a room where he’s played before.
