Buffalo's Little Mountain Band appears to be destined for great things. The group -- bassist/vocalist Donavan Cudmore, guitarist Rob Enderle, vocalist Taylor Locking, keyboardist/vocalist Adam Schmidt, drummer Brian Seibel and guitarist/vocalist Aaron Ziolkowski -- recently released its self-titled debut disc and spent much of the summer touring, honing its collective chops and endearing itself to the open-minded among the jam-band fan base. The LMB album is a strong and richly varied one, consisting of nine original tunes that blend, as the band's MySpace page suggests, elements of blues, rock, folk, and the multi-idiom stew that fits beneath the "jam band" umbrella.
In concert, the group is well known for its ability to take these strong songs and employ them as launching points for heady improvisation, though the groove tethering it all to the Earth is never sacrificed during these flights of fancy.
The Little Mountain-eers will be heading back out on the road for a bit this fall, but prior to that, they'll spend this weekend pleasing the Buffalo base, with a gig opening for Big Leg Emma this evening, inside Club Infinity (8166 Main St., Williamsville), and a slot alongside New Clear Fusion at Nietzsche's (248 Allen St.) on Saturday.
