🦃 Thanksgiving Eve — Rec Room Buffalo

A Snowy Night, 1,000 People, One EPIC Vibe

Thanksgiving Eve delivered exactly what Buffalo needed — a massive celebration downtown at Rec Room Buffalo, where the energy was unstoppable from the moment doors opened. Even with snow coming down hard outside, the line wrapped down the block as over 1,000 party-ready Buffalonians packed into the venue for what’s known as the biggest party night of the year.

Inside, the vibe was electric.

DJ Biacco lit the room up with heaters, remixes, and high-energy club tracks — and then the music went next level as John Troy jumped in on sax, creating a live hybrid set:
🎷 + 🔥 beats = absolute chaos in the best way.

Every drop hit harder.
Every solo cut through the room.
Every moment felt like Buffalo showing up loud, proud, and ready for the holiday.

From club anthems to funky riffs, sax lines soared over the crowd as hands went up, drinks clinked, and the dance floor never stopped moving. People came to party — and they got a full-throttle celebration.

This wasn’t just another night — it was a full-scale Thanksgiving Eve takeover.

Snow outside.
Heat inside.
A packed Rec Room.
DJ Biacco.
John Troy on sax.
Buffalo energy at full tilt.

Thanksgiving Eve 2025: Legendary.
And the perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend.

‘Tis Autum | @ the Glen

What an unforgettable night in the Glorious Finger Lakes Region!
On November 15th, 2025, Watkins Glen was the backdrop for an extraordinary wedding celebration—one filled with joy, energy, and the kind of magic only the Finger Lakes can provide.

I was honored to deliver full ceremony sound, complete with professional microphones to ensure every word of the vows carried beautifully through the space. From there, I transitioned into DJ & MC duties, guiding the flow of the evening and keeping the energy high from the very first announcement to the final send-off.

Guests enjoyed a vibrant cocktail hour featuring live sax, setting the tone for a classy-meets-electric night. The reception truly came alive thanks to the incredible ATLAS Band, whose musicianship elevated every moment. Sharing the stage with them on sax was a thrill—together we brought the perfect blend of live performance, dance-floor heat, and unforgettable moments.

The clients were overjoyed, the guests were thrilled, and the dance floor never stopped moving. Watkins Glen delivered the scenery; we delivered the soundtrack. An absolutely amazing celebration from start to finish.
