If you are looking for a reason to make the trip to Buffalo this summer, here is one: Noah Richardson is playing Rec Room on Wednesday, August 5, and in a room that holds 300, this is the kind of night where a rising artist and an audience actually find each other.
About Noah Richardson
Richardson is a Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter with an origin story that earned him attention before the music did — he grew up writing songs in his family’s funeral home basement. That upbringing colors his work: dark humor channeled into indie-pop with genuine range, built around what he describes as “a coping mechanism to kind of twist it around.” His debut album Dead to Me (2022) plays like exactly that — lead singles “Painful,” “Sunday Scaries,” and “Wherever You Go” show an artist who can take heavy subject matter and turn it into something you actually want in your ears.
The trajectory has been steady. NBC’s The Voice producers took notice early on. Unclear Magazine named him a “Next Artist to Watch.” His track “Tangerine” reached the Top 10 of viral charts in the US, UK, and Canada, and he has surpassed 650,000 monthly Spotify listeners. This summer run — six dates across the US and Canada — puts him in Toronto the night before the Buffalo stop and Pittsburgh the night after. Rec Room is exactly the right size for where he is right now.
About Rec Room
Rec Room is a bar and music venue at 79 W Chippewa Street in downtown Buffalo. At 300 capacity, this is close-to-the-stage territory — the kind of room where you will actually feel the show rather than watch it from a distance. Doors are at 8:00 PM and the show is 16 and up, so plan accordingly. Get there early.
