Ari and the Buffalo Kings (ABK) weave mindfulness, spirituality, and roots music from around the world to give your mind a fresh glass of spring water and your heart an unexpected hug. This Baltimore-based indie folk band thinks life is better with a little bit of everything. Their sound blends folk and alt country with soul, rock, and world music, creating a unique live experience that stirs your feet and soothes your soul.

Their second album, In the All Together, is out now, full of irreverent folk romps and more transcendent moments. Each song’s unique vibe will lift you up while Ari's heartfelt lyrics bring you home. You might get so lost in the music that you’ll forget to check your phone for a while – only to remember to call your mother.

Featuring Danielle Williams, Samantha Flores, Christian Lumsden, Jim Hannah, Phil Heiser, and Joel Michael-Schwartz, ABK has performed at Baltimore's major festivals and venues including Artscape, the 8x10, Creative Alliance at the Patterson, and The Ottobar.

Come for the music. Stay for unexpected moments of connection.
