Pride of the Irish: Buffalo Sunn to Represent Ireland on 2015 Passport Approved West Coast USA Tour

Buffalo Sunn is an Irish band that has been compared to The Byrds and The Stone Roses by lead singer Daniel Paxton, Buffalo Sunn blend sounds from the 1960’s and the present day, mixing big reverb-laden harmonies with carefully placed guitars to produce what Festival and Gig Guide describe as “a beautiful and atmospheric vibe that is sure to deliver.”

Buffalo Sunn have gained a reputation for being a formidable live band, noted for their three-part vocal harmonies, with inventive guitars and percussion. Channeling the West Coast sound “like a punked up Crosby Stills and Nash,” Buffalo Sunn superbly mix melody and their guitar attack, with songwriter/vocalist Paxton masterminding the band’s sound.
