In Buffalo music circles, Roger Bryan is the guy who can’t say “no” to playing music. Perhaps best known as the guitarist/singer of the Old Sweethearts, he’s been grafted onto and drafted into adding his talents as a player and singer on many projects. The songs on his new release The Engine Hum (Harvest Sum) are either leftovers from the Old Sweethearts or written as they came in the studio. “These were in a much different direction than what we were working toward,” Bryan insists, referring to the Old Sweethearts’ trademark sonic branching out. However, fans of that band’s first album will find plenty to love in the austere and thoughtful folk-rock of The Engine Hum. Bryan celebrates the album’s release this Saturday (August 25) with a 10pm show at Mohawk Place, supported by the Hammond Shutdown
