It’s a beautiful, cool Saturday and there are plenty of things to do out and around Ithaca. At 7pm, Trevor MacDonald - as his new project Who You Are - will host a CD release party and free concert at Taughannock Park. That starts at 7pm and will probably go for a few hours. Super […]

Hello everyone. Hot off the heels of two extremely successful Popcorn Youth concerts — Neptune and Ryan Jewell — I have another exciting show announcement to make.

Also, NEPTUNE is now headlining […]

Great news! Michael H. over at New Thing Productions is presenting iconic free improv saxophonist Paul Flaherty over at Metropolis in North Syracuse on June 18. Flaherty will be on a short tour as he’s playing the Montreal festival Casa del Popolo, and we’re so glad he’s making a stop in Upstate New York! Michael’s […]
