Stage performances

10:30AM: Golden Link Folk Singing Society

Members kick off the music with an informal “hootenanny” onstage. Rochester’s folk music club has hosted weekly Tuesday sing-arounds for 54 years; come and sing along!

12PM: A.J. DiNoto

Guitarist, veteran club performer and master of favorite songs old and new, returns to our festival stage with a blend of hits from the Eagles to U2, Beatles, and more.

1PM: Candy

A country trio fronted by radio host and North Winton resident Hannah Maier, bringing Nashville sounds and cowgirl attitude to their festival debut –– a bit of Grand Ole Opry on our northeastern stage.

2PM: Skylark

Quartet led by acapella specialist Phil Marino, provide a pure vocal blend, performing unaccompanied songs from jazz to rock, with close harmonies and intricate arrangements.

3PM: Gregory Street Vagabonds

Rochester’s premier swing/jazz ensemble, return for their third visit to our festival; dancing is encouraged, to the sounds of horns, strings and drums evoking the “big band” era.

4PM: Alfred St. John

He’s played Caribbean steel drum music in our city for decades, as leader of the Trinidad & Tobago Steel Band; we’ve asked his shimmering sounds to close our festival several times, and we’re always glad to
have him.
