Blue Ox
Long before alt.country and Americana became the buzzwords of choice for a generation of music writers, WNY had its very own roots scene, centered at a venue in Colden called the Belle Star Saloon. A legendary place that was lost to fire, the Belle Star often played host to an equally legendaryband by the name of Blue Ox. The veteran musicians pictured here—Charlie O’Neill, Ron Davis, Norris Lewis, Willie Schoellkopf and Dennis Mike—are putting the band back together for a reunion that’s been over 30 years in the making. The free show, starting at 5:30pm on Sunday (Oct. 1) at the Sportsmen’s Tavern, is an ideal way to wrap up the weekend.
