Kind words from others about the new CD:
Buffalofitz CD is Just What you Need
NONzine Jan. 25, 2008
Chances are that you''ve seen or heard the Buffalo,...
Chances are that you''ve seen or heard the Buffalo, and the Fitz - at the
legendary Red Cup maybe, or somewhere else, and you remember.
These guys are memorable. The combination of skilled musicianship,
thoughtful song writing, and voices that compliment the history of
American music is pretty rare.
Buffalofi tz has got a CD now! You may be thinking, "so - it can''t be as
good as listening to them live." You are wrong. The Buffalo strokes that
mandolin like a sticky kitten - it purrs into the harmonies, barely even
hissing at that old dog guitar Fitz is scratching - and it all comes through
on the recording.
Did that work? Well, anyway. The CD showed up at the NONcave just
in time - we gave it two deadline listens. Striking Okieupbeat tracks like
St. Paul make you forget to grieve for Croce for a minute.
LA County Fair, a song about dating a punk rock grrrl, is a refl ective look
at appreciating who you really are, and where home is.
We are going to press now, so I can''t write about all the tracks. The
CD release is at Sauced on Paseo (tonight if you picked this up Friday
afternoon the 25th of January.) If you miss it, you can get Fitz Jennings
and Buffalo Rogers on the web and myspace.

Biography
Buffalofitz is a loud, roots-based acoustic duo rolling out of the plains of Western Oklahoma. The band is the combined effort of Buffalo Rogers (of Middleburg,Ok) and Fitz Jennings (originally of Oregon), two very different musical men/performers (visually and otherwise), who nonetheless together form a bizzare and original cohesive whole. They play unplugged whenever remotely possible, even if screaming becomes necessary.
They play a mixture of traditional songs, blues, and ballads, together with suprising original songs and well-chosen covers.
Buffalofitz plays all over their state, regional and country. In 2006 they won a Woody Guthrie Award from the Oklahoma Gazette.
