LET'S GO DOWNTOWN! Could there be a more perfect anthem for opening night?! Join us this Thursday, June 4th from 5pm-8pm, as we kick off our free 10th Anniversary season of Thursday & Main at Fountain Plaza with our pals Handsome Jack and The Burkharts!

Part strut, part shimmy, all heart, Handsome Jack brings their signature blend of boogie, blues, soul, and rock 'n' roll back Downtown for a night of gritty riffs, swampy grooves, and dance-worthy energy. Opening the show, The Burkharts will transport you to a dreamy California coastline with their infectious indie surf-pop sound.

Our friends from Jack Rabbit will be slinging delicious bites all evening, and cold beverages will be available courtesy of Big Ditch Brewing Company.

Thursday & Main is made possible with the generous support of our official sponsor family. The series is presented by M&T Bank and supported by Big Ditch Brewing Company, Iroquois Construction Services, Katz Americas, Lawley, National Grid, Premium Parking, The Buffalo News, Try-It Distributing, VanDette Law, WKBW-TV 7, and Yuengling.
