My husband's (Blake Hamilton) parents owned the Buffalo Tavern from 1976-80. Their names are Jack and Connie Hughes.He remembers Robert Cray playing there,as well as Quarter Flash (when known as Seafood Momma), Jr. Cadillac, Queen Ida, High in The Saddle, Baby Knockers, The Skyboys, and Charlie Musselwhite.
He has two Buffalo Tavern windbreakers, and a chrome zippo Buffalo Tavern lighter. An image of the back of one of the windbreakers is pictured above.
Paul Hammons, a man who worked for them and built the larger stage and made some modifications, recently died.

Every Friday night the rock radio stations listed bands playing at local taverns and the Buffalo was always rocking.
Some of the other bands that played there were Dynamic Logs, Big Momma Thornton, Joe Lee Hooker, Loverboy, and Zydeco.
When the Hughes bought the Buffalo,the bar already had a huge buffalo head, and Jack stuck a joint in its mouth. A customer drew the picture, and the rest was history.
