In support of their latest record release "Radio Silent", Buffalo-based Tri State Area will be performing at Theatreloft, 545 Elmwood Avenue Buffalo NY, on May 25th. Doors open at 7 pm with performance scheduled at 8 pm. Pay-what-you can with a $5 suggested donation at the door. 

This soulful duo acoustic of Tri State Area features the talents of singing/songwriting of Joe Spahn and guitar/singing/songwriter Jimmy Devany. Their collabroative process put together the 10-song album "Radio Silent" as well as the clever 2015 8-song album "Songs About Cars".  Described as folk-punk, this two-piecer delivers sharp, well-written songs including the reflective yet edgy The Author Chase His Tale in which singer Joe Spahn asks "I've organized my life into these songs to be no closer to where I belong. So should I try to paint myself in the best light", the heart-searching single Stay Awhile and the folk retro-infused narrative The Ballad of Marshall Fields. 

"The album was just something we've always wanted to do since we've been playing music together on and off for the past ten years." Singer/songwriter Joe Spahn on the history of Tri State Area. Adding in the singles Stay Awhile and Complancency  to "Radio Silent", the album is a collection of material the band has been working on for some time. "We used songs we'd written together or independently over the last few years". 

The new release "Radio Silent" and Tri State Area's first album "Songs About Cars", can be heard by visiting their Bandcamp page https://tristatearea.bandcamp.com or visiting them on Apple Tunes or Spotify. You can follow them via Twitter at @3statearea
