Full Auditorium at Dust Devil Band Show
Proceeds will be for the benefit of Nicole, Malcom and the rest of the Gaines-Parker family.
I am blessed to have made many great musical friends over the years, and many of them will be appearing at the show at historic Unity Hall. Most of the performers have known Nicole since she was a little girl. For them to come to play at this event is very special and meaningful to Nicole and Malcolm and to all our family. Unity Hall is my favorite concert venue – aesthetically beautiful, acoustically perfect, and thoroughly magical! This is going to be a very memorable show for all involved!

The Dust Devil Band Performance at Unity Hall in 2020
The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival at Cooperstown’s Christ Episcopal Church will present the American String Quartet for this fall’s performance on Sunday, October 2. The quartet will be joined by cellist Phillippe Muller and flutist and founder of the festival, Linda Chesis.
To set off the evening, the quartet will perform works from Haydn and Aaron Jay Kernis. The quartet has performed across all 50 states in the US and in concert halls across the world. Known for their specialty in examinations of composer’s complete cycles, audiences can look forward to the second half of the show, where the American String Quartet will be joined by Phillippe Muller to play Schubert’s cello quintet. Violinist Daniel Avshalomov said that every time the American String Quartet performs the cello quintet piece in rehearsals, they uncover more nuances in its meaning.
“Those who have heard this piece need no introduction,” Avshalomov. “But those who hear it for the first time will look back on the absolute inability of language to express even a shadow of this majestic work.”
The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival was started in 1999 by Linda Chesis. The festival specializes in chamber music, and has brought in performances from Julliard and St. Lawrence, Stefon Harris, Bill Charlap and Simone Dinnerstein, to name just a few.
Tickets for the show are $30 for adults and $15 for students and children. Tickets must be purchased in advance and can be bought at the music festivals site. The show will go from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Keep Flying headlined at Nail Creek Pub & Brewery in Utica on Aug. 18. The band was excited to perform following their recent debut EP Revival. When stepping on stage most performers work hard to encourage the crowd to stand up and dance, this wasn’t quite the case for Keep Flying.
Northeast six-piece punk-rock band, Keep Flying features a horn component and revealing lyrics that hit close to home. Although it was the band’s first show in Utica, they plan to make a reappearance soon. Keep Flying is currently touring the United States.
Nail Creek Pub & Brewery has an outdoor stage. The pit and seating area were at maximum capacity. Opening performances from Pepper on the Salad and Career Mode warmed up the large crowd.
Keep Flying began their set promptly at 9:30 P.M. Moments after the group began, a mosh pit formed and others in the crowd who didn’t participate were jumping and fist-pumping. Several people surfed throughout the set, even the show host, AJ Bates. The precise sound of the saxophone played by singer, John Ryan, was played with a significant amount of high energy as he danced and jumped around the stage while playing.
At the tail end of the show, the crowd cheered “another song!” repeatedly. With their final burst of energy, Keep Flying played an encore. The group is an absolute must-see act that left all in the crowd desiring more.
Dynamic septet, The Big Takeover Band, headlined at Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute in Utica on Monday, August 8. The show was a Levitt Amp Utica Music Series segment funded by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation.
The Big Takeover Band is rooted in the Hudson Valley. The group is led by charismatic Jamaican-born singer-songwriter Nee Nee Rushie. They play an extraordinary blend of Jamaican pop and reggae, with a touch of retro soul and Motown. The band is touring throughout August to the middle of September.
Aug. 12 – West Stockbridge, MA @ The Foundry West Stockbridge
Aug. 13 – Killington, VT @ Cooler in the Mountains Concert Series
Aug. 15 – Tupper Lake, NY @ Monday Summer Sunset Stage Series
Aug. 20 – Weston, CT @ Music in The Meadow
Aug. 26 – New York, NY @ Sunset on The Hudson
Sept. 04 – Saranac Lake, NY – Northern Current Music Festival 2022
Sept. 10 – Bozrah, CT – Camp Creek 2022
The Big Takeover Band conducted an upbeat performance compelling the audience to dance and clap along throughout the show. They commenced with an original instrumental piece. At the beginning of the second set, stage lights followed as Rushie walked out with a captivating smile and she began to sing. Her powerful voice matched with the spectacular sound of the band promoted excitement for most in the crowd.
Closing the show, The Big Takeover Band played a Jamaican pop original song. The crowd appeared joyful and cheered as if they didn’t want the show to end.
The identical twin brothers, Walter and Wagner Caldas of B2Wins headlined at Kopernik Park in Downtown Utica on Monday, July 11. The show was a Levitt Amp Utica Music Series segment funded by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation. In association with the humid weather, the B2Wins duo performed a fiery set bringing most in the crowd to their feet.
Far from a traditional band, B2Wins consists of Walter, who sings and plays the violin, and Wagner, who plays the ukulele and runs the soundboard. They have a unique style of music, ranging from hip-hop and reggae to classical and jazz. Previously, the Caldas twins resided in the slums of Brazil and then moved to America without knowing English. Never letting fear get in the way, they remained optimistic while battling to commence in the music industry before headlining shows themselves. They planted Brazillian roots in Utica before their next stop in Des Moines.
B2Wins began the set with warm, soft-to-the-ear classical music. Astonishing the crowd, they effortlessly covered popular songs by Bon Jovi, Louis Armstrong, Dua Lipa, and more. The crowd appeared blissful and danced throughout the entire set, despite the hot temperature. The brothers interacted with the audience through motivational speaking on behalf of culture and self-pride and encouraged everyone to get out of their seats to dance.
Closing the show, Wagner and Walter walked around the fence separating the stage from the crowd to perform. Eyes followed as they stood back to back, playing the ukulele and violin energetically while singing.
There are two things you can find a great deal of in Upstate New York – music venues in nearly every town, and Stewart’s Shops. There are more than 345 Stewart’s in New York and Vermont, and if you’ve been to a show or gone camping Upstate, you’ve probably stopped at a Stewart’s for provisions. With newly remodeled shops, Stewart’s is a staple for locals and visitors alike.
One of Stewart’s best sellers is their ice cream. Made from milk from New York farms, the variety of flavors goes well beyond the basic Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. The variety of music venues Upstate is equally varied, and gives music lovers an opportunity to see their favorite bands and new artists in unique settings.
We’ve partnered with Stewart’s Shops to look at their ice cream flavors and compared them to Upstate music venues. Below you’ll find 15 flavors paired with their appropriate venue, a small sampling of the more than 30 flavors Stewart’s Shops offer. Get the scoop before you get a scoop heading to your next show!

In an area of New York where the Mohawk Valley meets Central New York, you’ll find Bouckville, best known for Ray Brothers Barbeque and The Yard Amphitheater. The pairing of some of the best BBQ in New York State with a stellar summer lineup of shows makes the small town of Bouckville a must stop for locals and travelers across the Empire State this summer.
When establishing Ray Brothers Barbeque with his brother Tucker in 2014, Colin Ray embarked on another dream of his: to build an outdoor music venue. The Yard Amphitheater started with a simple stage of plywood screwed to pallets set in the backyard, and over the years has transformed into the robust community gathering space it is today.
The Yard Amphitheater holds up to 1,500 attendees and has featured acts including Keller Williams, Zach Deputy, Turkuaz, Ryan Montbleau, Montgomery Gentry, JJ Grey & Mofro, Hayley Jane and the Primates, The North Mississippi Allstars, Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People, Martin Sexton, Cassidy Lynn, and many more.
Attending a show at The Yard is like being in your own backyard for a concert, only this backyard has a fully stocked outdoor bar, delicious BBQ, and nationally touring acts.
When you’re headed to Bouckville this summer, be sure to grab a chair or blanket, a bite to eat at the restaurant, a cold beer, and get ready to dance. This year’s lineup will have you on your feet in no time.
