CU Bands Tickets

CU Buffoons (now performing as CU Bands) are Colorado’s longest-running collegiate a cappella group, founded in 1962 at the University of Colorado Boulder. Renowned for a broad repertoire that spans pop, rock, jazz, and traditional vocal arrangements, the Buffoons have evolved with the times—adding vocal percussion and beatboxing in the 2020s to keep their sound fresh. Their name and branding reflect a long-standing CU tradition of tight harmonies, high-energy performances, and a friendly, accessible approach to live entertainment.

Based in Boulder, CO, CU Bands frequently perform at campus events, local venues, and regional festivals, bringing a polished, crowd-pleasing show to fans of all ages. They’re also a staple on social and streaming platforms, where new material from their latest projects reaches listeners worldwide. If you’re planning a show, you’ll find a reliable and engaging performance from a group with decades of stage experience and a knack for connecting with audiences.

Discography highlights trace a journey from the classic era to contemporary collaborations. The most recent project, Carved From Oak (2023), features notable singles such as Put Your Records On and The Anthem of Mr. Dark, which debuted as stand-out tracks from the 2023 release. Prior albums like Songs From The Grove (2015) and Under The Arches (2012) showcase their evolving vocal artistry and ensemble tightness. The Buffoons’ legacy includes award-winning moments, including Best of College A Cappella (BOCA) in 2013 and Voices Only in 2012, with a notable track featured on Ben Folds Presents: University A Cappella! (2009).

Upcoming appearances include a 2025 performance on June 16 at 7:00 PM: CMC Allbright Auditorium in Steamboat Springs, CO (as listed by Steamboat Creates).
