Tugboat Annie

Tugboat Annie is an American rock band. Formed in Buffalo in 1990, Tugboat Annie was composed of bassist Jon Sulkow, guitarist Mike Bethmann, guitarist Jim Brown (see “Damn the Man,” later replaced by Jay Celeste), and drummer Tim Barrett (replaced in Boston by former Mighty Mighty Bosstones drummer Josh Dalsimer). Tim Barrett has since returned to the band. Early experiments included a live show at the University at Buffalo’s WRUB. Tugboat Annie became a staple of the early ’90s Buffalo scene, playing with bands like Milf at venues like the (pre-fire) Continental and Nietzsche’s. The band began practicing and playing shows again in 2019, incorporating several new songs into live shows.
