The ninth episode of Hear Here, our podcast about live music in Buffalo, is out now!

On this episode, we visit Babeville, or Asbury Arts Center. Plenty of music venues are considered spiritual places by musicians and fans alike - and the connection at Asbury Hall makes sense. 150 years ago, it was home to the city’s Delaware Avenue Methodist Church. Now, it’s a 1,200-capacity multi-faceted performance and gallery space in the heart of the Queen City—long ago rescued by one of region’s most renown musicians, Ani DiFranco and the venue’s owner Scot Fisher. Known to both locals and visitors by its longtime moniker, Babeville, we’ll have conversations with the Vice President of Asbury Arts Center, Anna Kapechuk, Buffalo Music Hall of Fame inductee and artist, Bruce Wojick, and frequent Asbury attendee and musician, Sara Elizabeth.
