The Buffalo Club was a short-lived American country music group founded in 1997 by Ron Hemby (lead vocals, guitar), John Dittrich (vocals, drums), and Charlie Kelly (vocals, guitar). Before the group's foundation, Hemby had served as a vocalist in the Christian group The Imperials, Kelly had played guitar for Doug Stone, and Dittrich had been drummer in the country band Restless Heart from 1984 until the mid-1990s.

Signed to Rising Tide Records in 1997, The Buffalo Club recorded its self-titled debut album that year. The lead-off single, "If She Don't Love You", reached #9 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. This song had been previously offered to Restless Heart, who had turned it down. [ [http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/cdreview.asp?xid=339 Buffalo Club - The Buffalo Club ] ] Buffalo Club's Barry Beckett-produced album, which peaked at #69 on the Top Country Albums charts, also produced a #26 country single in the song "Nothing Less Than Love", which had been previously recorded by Bryan White on his self-titled debut album and Sawyer Brown on their 1995 album "This Thing Called Wantin' and Havin' It All". The third single, "Heart Hold On", peaked at #53 at the end of 1997, and shortly afterward, the members of The Buffalo Club parted ways. [ [http://www.cmt.com/artists/news/1473183/06232003/id_0.jhtml CMT.com : : 1997 ] ] Dittritch briefly rejoined Restless Heart to record new selections for a Greatest Hits album in 1998. He and the other four founding members of Restless Heart officially reunited in 2004.
