Fillmore based band Tough Old Bird to perform at Palmer Opera House

Tough Old Bird brings their musical stylings to The Palmer Opera House & Event Center on Saturday, August 5th at 8:00 PM.
Cuba - Formed in the small community of Fillmore, New York by songwriting brothers Matthew and Nathan Corrigan, Tough Old Bird plays modern folk music that reflects the landscape it comes from, a place where the last train just pulled out and the carnival is always on its way to the next town.
Since its formation in 2013, Tough Old Bird has taken its music to bars, festivals, coffee shops, music clubs and radio stations all over the Eastern United States.  On May 19th Tough Old Bird released "Where The Great Beasts Are Buried," a new collection of 6 sparse songs recorded at home between June and December 2016.
"A musician’s work can sometimes sound like an extension of his surroundings. As for Tough Old Bird’s Matthew and Nathan Corrigan... every acoustic guitar chord or Corrigan vocal evokes a mood, one you could feel floating over the expanses and history of their host Allegany County." -Michael Farrell, The Buffalo News
Admission is by donation, and refreshments will be available.  Donations to benefit the ongoing maintenance and improvements at the Palmer Opera House.
