Art’s Cafe is kicking off regular music with “Acoustic Lunch.” Buffalo Music Hall of Famer Jim Brucato shares a soulful set of tunes every Wednesday from 11:30-1pm. With a background in jazz composition, and decades of experience on bass and guitar, Brucato is sure to please everyone with his wide range of songs.
The son of a professional musician, Brucato taught himself to play guitar during the folk boom of the late 50s and early 60s after he caught onto three-part harmonies like those found in the Kingston Trio. He attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston in the late 80s; two of his later songs were honored as “songs of the year” in the Berklee program.
After playing with numerous groups in Buffalo, and even touring nationally, Brucato formed The Thirds with musician friends Charlie O’Neill and Joe Head, where he played bass. He is also a member of Billy McEwen & The Soul Invaders amongst many other performing groups. He has taught music classes at Erie Community College for the past 13 years.
Art’s Café was designed to create an intersection of food, the arts and a great community. The Café is owned by Café workers, as well local residents-turned-investors, in partnership with Springville Center for the Arts. Located at 5 E. Main Street in Springville, Art’s Café is now open Wednesday through Saturday from 9am to 4pm and serves lunch daily.
