Don will be out spinning the tunes for you in front of the old Harolds location at Port Watson and Main St.

Happy Friday! I hope that you’ve had a great week and are ready for the holiday weekend. By now everyone should be making plans to come downtown Sunday night to ring in 2024 with family and friends at Midnight on Main!

The fun starts at 10:00 p.m. with great music from DJ Don with Barnes Sound and Entertainment, sponsored by Bailey Place Insurance. Smash Me 607 and Holy Smoked food trucks will be there serving all of your favorites, so bring your appetites. The window decorating contest winners will be announced during the evening, and the ball will drop at midnight followed by an amazing fireworks show courtesy of McNeil and Company.

A big thank you to the Rock Sports Bar/Clock Tower for hosting the ball, and the Youth Bureau and the Fire Department for getting the ball mounted and ready for 2024.

It’s going to be a great night. Looking forward to seeing you there!

DJ Jon will be playing the tunes for you Saturday night. We are pumped to be your music source for Midnight on Main. Stop by and say hi.

The countdown has begun for a lot of fun in downtown Cortland on Saturday night… only four more days until Midnight on Main on New Year’s Eve!

I hope that you’ll plan to come down and meet up with friends and neighbors to ring in the new year. Start the evening at one of your favorite downtown restaurants and then maybe hit Cortland Repertory Theatre for their family friendly dance party or else head right down to Midnight on Main at 10:00 p.m. to dance in the street to great music from DJ Jon from Barnes Sound and Entertainment, sponsored by the Stone Lounge.

Walt with Smash Me 607 food truck will be on hand serving your favorites, the window decorating contest winners will be announced, the ball is going to drop at midnight and then an amazing fireworks show courtesy of McNeil and Company. It’s going to be a great night. Can’t wait to see you there! 🥳

Picking up a new brand of guitars for sale locally to our music community. I have owned a couple of bass guitars (V4, V4 icon) from this company and always loved them. If you see anything you like or would like to try out let me know. I have to put in an order soon and I bring something in you can try.

Microphone cables! Those necessities on the stage these days to get your sound through the PA. These days we put everything into Mic level not just microphones. DI boxes and microphones all need one to get to your mixer. Add more when you hook up your main PA from the mixer. From the mixer to your subs then your speakers. Do you have enough? Get in touch with us about getting the mic cables you need or get yours tested. We have options for you.
