From BUZZ Live! on January 8, 2026 …
In partnership with Center in the Square, BUZZ Live! is back January 2026 at the Waldron Stage on Church Avenue in downtown Roanoke!
On our Jan. 8, 2026 show BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill chatted with Center in the Square president Tara Marciniak about her idea for a Ferris wheel atop the Roanoke landmark. Roanoke’s best hip hop artist Bryan “Harvest Blaque” Hancock rocked the house. And Ashley Webb of O. Winston Link Museum and Roanoke History Museum shared her plans for the 250th anniversary of our country’s founding.
Billed as “The Tonight Show for Nonprofits,” BUZZ Live! is held before a live studio audience and live-streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels and later broadcast on Blue Ridge PBS. Free and open to the public, BUZZ LIVE! takes place Thursday nights in January (1/8, 1/15, 1/22 and 1/29) at 6:00 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Cash bar available. Details here.
