A big thank you to Chris Brock and the Watertown Daily Times NNY360 & Watertown Daily Times for today’s two articles—one highlighting the history of the Sackets Harbor Sentinel Bandstand, as told by Jeff Derouin, and another featuring our nonprofit’s event there next Saturday!
Join us as we kick off the community’s 250th Celebration with an afternoon of great music featuring McKinley James , with Rae the Band opening, plus food and beverages from Elm Street Tacos and 1812 Brewing Company
Thank you as well to Chris for his recent story about Overture. Overture will be live throughout Sackets Harbor from June 27 through July 5, helping visitors and residents connect, meet, converse, shop, and discover all the village has to offer.

New this year at Live at the Bandstand:
Live at the Bandstand has always been about bringing people together through music and shared experience.
Overture is a simple tool that helps make those connections happen. No swiping. No algorithms. Just enough app to say hello.
Come for the music. Stay for the community.

On June 22, 2022, the local paper ran a story about me starting Live at the Bandstand in memory of my dad, who brought jazz to this bandstand for 9 years.
This June 27th will be our 5th Live at the Bandstand event.
The purpose has always been simple: to bring people together across our divides for a day of great music, shared experience, and positive energy.
Grateful to every musician, volunteer, sponsor, friend, and audience member who has helped keep this tradition going. ❤️

Coming to Sackets Harbor on June 27th!
Rae the Band is a soulful, funky, and blues influenced band from NYC. Blending sounds of 60s soul, electric blues, and classic rock through their original music alongside their specially selected covers. Rae the Band aspires to honor and lift up the music of their heroes such as B.B. King, Albert King, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Ray Charles and more, hoping to extend their impact on to a new generation. They are inspired by artists like Tedeschi Trucks Band, Soulive, Alabama Shakes, Marcus King, etc. Rae the Band is made up of female front woman whose vocals will raise the hair on your arms and her rhythm guitar playing holds it down, a lead guitar player who truly makes his guitar sing, a keyboard player that is a musical genius both on the keys and background vocals, the father of the front woman whose vocals will knock the wind out of you is also the most honest, heartfelt bass player to grace the stage, and finally a drummer with the deepest pocket.

June 27th McKinley James is equal parts old soul and modern man. Armed with an electric guitar and sharp songwriting chops, he breathes new life into classic sounds with Working Class Blues, a debut album that introduces his mix of American rock & roll, amplified soul, and raw rhythm &blues.
