While many local artists have sought to craft the next Buffalo anthem, Casuccio’s intent was more personal. “I’m not trying to write the definitive song for the city,” he explains. “I just wanted to honor Buffalo, to express my appreciation and gratitude for everything it has given me.”

“When I was trying to capture Buffalo for my video with iconic building or scenic views, I realized Buffalo isn’t just places or scenes. Buffalo is the PEOPLE. I put out a call for people to send me pictures of their family, friends, pets and Buffalo experiences. I was overwhelmed with the response. And that is what my video needed, the people of Buffalo.” Says Casuccio. The lyrics reflect my personal experience of leaving Buffalo to pursue a career in the music industry, and the deep sense of longing I felt for the place where I grew up. And then returning home.

A seasoned musician and producer, Casuccio’s career spans over 30 years, with audio production work that has earned three Grammy nominations, reached gold record status, and appeared in numerous TV shows and commercials. His expertise in production has resulted in multiple songs landing at the top of Billboard’s Dance charts. He has also remastered albums for legendary artists such as Johnny Cash, Tony Bennett, and Roy Orbison.

Musician/Producer Anthony Casuccio is also the President of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame and an inducted member in the class of 2024.

Casuccio’s success extends beyond the studio as a songwriter, producer, and bandleader. With his band A&L, he topped international charts, securing nine Top 20 songs on UK Indie music charts, with radio play in over 70 countries across Europe and the USA. His solo career has been equally impressive, earning four Top 20 placements in the UK, including the #1 UK Independent chart hit Lighthouse in Fall 2023. His 2024 release, Life Goes On—a tribute to his late mother— rose to #3 on the indie charts in Europe and garnered widespread media coverage. The semi auto biological The Rockstar released in January of 2025 hit #2 in Europe and showcased Anthony’s signature guitar work. And the 25-summer release of Don’t Say Goodbye peaked at #3 on the same UK Independent chart.
