The Buffalo Chips

The University at Buffalo’s Award Winning Lower Voices A Cappella Group

About us

Founded in 1995, The Buffalo Chips are UB's first acapella group, with a long and exciting legacy of fun, community, and singing memorable tunes from across time and genre. We pride ourselves on maintaining a strong brotherhood of long-lasting bonds.


As multi-time ICCA finalists, we aspire to bring you jaw-dropping performances and to always reach greater heights. We love to bring the joy of music to our local Western New York community and around New York State. On top of hosting three huge concerts a year, comprised entirely of self-arranged music, we also love to give back to our community by singing at high schools, weddings, retirement homes, and many other public events!

Over the years, we've published over fourteen different albums and EP's- but doing this and doing it well is expensive!

This particular EP will immortalize the ICCA set that took us to semifinals in spring of 2024, featuring I Wish by Stevie Wonder, Hurt by Nine Inch Nails/Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult, and I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. This would ALSO allow us to also produce a single of our fan-favorite version of The Flame by Cheap Trick.
