FREE: Music On Mainstreet in Canajoharie

Canajoharie is once again hosting its annual Music on Mainstreet concert series this summer with events that range from music to magic. The free series kicks off on the lawn of the NBT Bank on Tuesday (August 1) with Local 518 bluegrass favorites Dyer Switch and continues at 7pm on Tuesdays throughout the month, except where noted.

In the case of inclement weather, the shows will be moved indoors to the Arkell Performing Arts Center at the high school.

Here’s the complete concert schedule for the 2017 Music on Mainstreet series:

Tuesday (August 1): DYER SWITCH – New York State Country Music Hall of Fame inductees, Dyer Switch is a versatile, hard-driving bluegrass band. They have performed in many bluegrass festivals across the country.

Friday (August 4): JIM SNACK & COMPANY – The Snack is back! Magic on Mainstreet returns with magician Jim Snack and new tricks up his sleeve combining magic, illusion, sleight of hand, music and comedy. Fun for the entire family.

Tuesday, August 8: THE CAROGA LAKE CHAMBER PLAYERS – The Caroga Lake Chamber Players showcase of some of the world’s top young professional artists from the U.S. and abroad. Now in their sixth season, founder Kyle Price is proud to present these talented musicians.

Tuesday, August 15: LAST DAZE – With original music that leaves a lasting impression, Last Daze has gained support from listeners of a broad spectrum. Their repertoire crosses musical genres, leaning towards rock, but having the ability to deliver a strong country ballad or a blues-infused jam in an instant.

Tuesday, August 22: KIM SIMMONDS & SAVOY BROWN – With founder-guitarist Kim Simmonds at the helm, Savoy Brown was one of the pioneering British blues bands of the ’60s, helping to launch the U.K. blues movement that brought blues music back to the USA.
