The Fredtown Stompers

The Fredtown Stompers began as an ensemble of students (including one faculty member) from The State University of New York at Fredonia in January of 2006. The band is renowned for performing traditional Dixieland and Hot Jazz hits that span from old classics to nontraditional modern staples. The band met with incredible success gigging weekly at Coughlan’s Pub in Fredonia NY. This wave of prosperity carried them to Buffalo NY where they have established themselves as the premier Dixieland band in the western NY area. Playing all the local bars, events and venues including Nietzsche’s, Mowhawk Place, Hot Mama’s Canteen, weddings, private parties and more… They have also been highly sought after to play outside of western NY in areas such as Rochester, Oneonta and the Catskills, including TV spots for First Night Oneonta. Winners of JazzBuffalo's 2016 Best Performance (at the Lewiston Jazz Fest) and 2016 opener for the BPO's tribute to David Bowie Thursdays at Canalside concert! The band plays for the love of the music and the people. Their spirited New Orleans style of playing attracts young and old to create an infectious enthusiasm that gets your feet tapping and sends the whole crowd into a dancing frenzy. Former SUNY Fredonia and Villa Maria grads playing old school 1910-1930s jazz charts. We swing that Hot jazz and have a that New Orleans trad jazz flavor.
