    The Throwback Fair at Buffalo Iron Works on September 4, 2026, was an absolute triumph of 90s musical nostalgia, brilliantly honoring the iconic legacy of Lilith Fair and the powerhouse women of 90s rock. The Throwback Fair lineup included Silent Legacy (A Tribute to the Music of Melissa Etheridge) and the Unplugged MTV Tribute band.

    From the moment doors opened at 7:00 PM, Buffalo Iron Works felt like a cozy, time-capsule time warp back to 1998. The venue’s industrial-chic aesthetic, excellent acoustics, and intimate, flower-filled layout provided the perfect backdrop for an acoustic-leaning celebration of female singer-songwriters. The crowd was warm, enthusiastic, and ready to rock along to every song.

    Silent Legacy (A Tribute to the Music of Melissa Etheridge): Kicked off the night from 8:00 to 9:00 PM, the Silent Legacy Band set a fierce, soulful tone. Their rendition of Etheridge’s catalog captured the raspy grit, emotional depth, and raw rock energy that defined the era. Silent Legacy brought the music of Melissa Etheridge to life with heart, soul, and unbridled energy. The Silent Legacy band features Tara Graves on Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, and Harmonica, Barry Edwards on Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals, and Bradley Heath on Drums and Backing Vocals. Jay Carr filled in on Bass Guitar for this show and he did an excellent job. Jay fit in perfectly and performed like he’d been with the band for years.

    Both bands delivered a STELLAR PERFORMANCE!

    The Unplugged (MTV Unplugged Tribute) Band took the stage next, and Unplugged delivered an incredible “Ladies Night” journey spanning 22 legendary artists. Hearing note-perfect, passionate takes on tracks popularized by Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Tracy Chapman, and the Indigo Girls won the crowd over and gave the whole room goosebumps. The Unplugged Band features Sarah Gruenauer on Lead Vocals, Mike McLaughlin on Lead Guitar, Denny Soliday on Rhythm Guitar, Sean Gruenauer on Bass Guitar, and Rob Toscano on Drums.

    Throwback Fair was easily one of the best, joyful tribute shows of the summer season in Buffalo’s Cobblestone District, hosted by Buffalo Iron Works. It wasn’t just any old cover night; it was a heartfelt tribute to all of the female artists who shattered industry glass ceilings.

    Special thanks to Buffalo Iron Works, Silent Legacy, and the Unplugged MTV Tribute band!

    Sincerely, Maria and Joe Tell.
