On September 26, 2026, the Bad Buffalo Listening Room in Alden, NY hosted an intimate evening of independent Country and Americana music featuring singer-songwriter Addison Johnson accompanied by special guest Chris Welch. For fans of authentic, narrative-driven roots music, the performance offered a masterclass in stripping a song down to its rawest, most compelling elements.
The Bad Buffalo Listening Room provided the perfect backdrop for the performance. True to its name, the venue prioritized an attentive, quiet atmosphere, completely free from the typical ambient noise of a rowdy bar. This respectful environment allowed every lyric, and acoustic guitar strum, resonate clearly throughout the room.
Chris Welch from Jackson, Missouri took the stage first to showcase songs from his most recent album, Mississippi Gold, The Clarksdale Collection, which was released earlier this year. His solo set set up a powerful, soulful tone for the night, delivering a rich layer of acoustic guitar sound and depth that captivated the audience from the very first note. Welch completely captivated the audience by pairing his performance with raw, compelling real-life stories that inspired his heartfelt music, setting a deeply personal and soulful tone for the night.
