Buffalo Bob Fancher "Buffalo" Bob Fancher... was born in Birmingham Alabama into a southern roots family. He eventually migrated to St. Louis where he was heavily influenced by the Chicago blues scene while still retaining his southern roots. During his touring years, he traveled from the east to west coasts, from Memphis to Las Vegas. He spent a year and a half of that time doing one nighters across Kansas - from Dodge city to Kansas City - with the highlight of that experience being a show opening up for the late, great, Freddie King in Hutchinson, Kansas in 1974. Buffalo Bob's music has been influenced by the many accomplished musicians that he has worked with over the years. He has opened up for not only Freddie King, but Son Seals, Bugs Henderson, John Lee Hooker, Larry Davis, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Anson Funderburg, Johnnie Johnson, The Coasters, and many other accomplished musicians.

Once famous for his signature American Indian Medicine Man's Headdress, worn on stage, Bob only rarely appears with it now, instead deciding to concentrate on a more powerful vocal and playing presence, which can best be described as a cross between B.B. King and Eric Clapton. |
