PEARL STREET GRILL & BREWERY TO HOST “HOCKTOBERFEST”

The Zambonis To Headline Inaugural Event

Buffalo, NY- Buffalo is a hockey town. From the backyard rinks to the big ice at the
arena, hockey is a major part of the culture of the region.

To celebrate the start of hockey season, Pearl Street Grill & Brewery will debut a new
festival, Hocktoberfest, on Thursday, October 5th. The festival will offer a full evening of
music, special appearances, and hockey-themed activations that celebrate the great
game of hockey.

Headlining Hocktoberfest will be the world’s only hockey-rock band, The Zambonis. The
Zambonis, having played major events including the NHL All Star Game and the NCAA
Frozen Four, will bring their high-energy hockey themed songs to Buffalo for the first time
since 2003. The Zambonis will also perform a few Buffalo themed songs, including
“Hockey Party (Buffalo Style)” that pays homage to Buffalo’s hockey tradition. Opening
up for The Zambonis will be Buffalo’s Captain Tom and the Hooligans bringing their
unique blend of Polka and party to Hocktoberfest.
