The Buddhahood is an 8-member local jam band. Their style of music has been called "world-ternative." They have played at the Lilac Festival, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Rochester International Jazz Festival, and many more local and national venues, and they tour regionally. In 2008, The Buddhahood recorded an episode of WXXI's series "OnStage." The late, great guitarist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader, Tony Cavagnaro is to thank for most of the band's repertoire.
