Formed in 2014, the six-piece band features Cory Pearman (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jason Clukies (bass, backup vocals), James Steinbach (lead guitar), Jon Cales (drums, backup vocals), Cory “Beef” Meier (keys, trombone), and Luke Story (saxophone, trumpet). Over the past decade, they’ve become a force in the Colorado music scene and beyond, playing iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Gothic Theatre, The Bluebird Theater, and Dillon Amphitheater, where they recently opened for jam-funk powerhouse Lotus.

Following their debut album Back From Nowhere and 2022’s Day Late, Dollar Short, the band continues to expand its reach - including a 2024 collaboration with The Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra to explore new sonic territory. Float Like a Buffalo has toured nationally and internationally, earned accolades like Westword’s Best Funk Band and 303 Magazine’s Top 30 Rock Bands, and garnered praise for their “mighty, melodious, sing-along surge…funky footings and mug-melting peaks” (The Wax King).
