Mihali makes music built for exactly this time of year — roots-forward reggae-rock that opens up in a live room the way it never quite does through speakers. His annual December run, Mihalidaze, is back for 2026, and the first confirmed stop on the tour lands at Buffalo Iron Works on Wednesday, December 2.
About the Show
Mihali Savoulidis is a Vermont-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist who co-founded the rock outfit Twiddle before launching his solo career in 2020. His sound blends reggae spirit with rock, and his label describes the result as “healing vibes” — fluid soundscapes and invigorating mantras built for live rooms. He shared stages with SOJA and G. Love & Special Sauce in 2024, and a constant touring schedule has kept him on the road ever since.
He released Before The Dream in May 2025, a 14-track record featuring G. Love, Tropidelic, Brett Dennen, and Satsang, among others, described as “a journey of joy…working together to develop an uplifting narrative about finding peace.” He followed it in November 2025 with Yestermorrow on Ineffable Records, his first full-length recorded with a live ensemble and produced by Johnny Cosmic, known for his work with Stick Figure, SOJA, and KBong. Mihali has called the record “all about being in the now, somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow.”
Mihalidaze is the annual holiday run that brings all of that live. “Every year, I get super excited to announce my Mihalidaze celebrations,” Mihali has said. “The holidays are so important for friends and family to come together and celebrate life, and I can’t think of a better way to do that than with live music.” The Buffalo show is one of three confirmed 2026 Mihalidaze dates, alongside stops in Boston and Woodstock. The full band — Zdenek Gubb on bass, Scott Hannay on keys, Adrian Tramontano on drums, and Michael Oehman and Michael Bafundo on horns — fills out the live show. The Mihalidaze format has also featured solo looping sets from Mihali, a signature element of the run.
Venue & Logistics
Buffalo Iron Works at 49 Illinois Street is one of the better-fit rooms for this kind of show in western New York — a room that keeps the crowd close to the stage. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., with the set starting at 8:00 p.m. This is an 18+ event.
