Moment’s Notice is a local, four-piece band with veteran musicians Karen Baker on keys, Mike Joyce on electric guitar/vocals, Dan Spada on electric bass/vocals and Sadie Spada on lead vocals/percussion.  The band covers a wide range of genres including jazz, latin, blues, rock and even a little country.  We share a dedication to producing well-crafted, well-rehearsed, tight musical arrangements. 

Legend plays a variety of music, everything from classic rock to a little bit of country. The four members of the band are originally from Tupper Lake and have played in many groups together through the years including Hammerlok, Silver Road, Bandit, and many more. All the members are multi-talented - playing several different instruments and singing both lead and harmony. Legend features Jeff Gonyea on rhythm guitar and keyboards, Chuck Mozdzier on lead guitar and keyboards, Bruce Hollenbeck on drums, and John Reandeau on bass.

We are a family band, rooted in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.  We play a style all our own, an acoustic genre of Americana, bluegrass and folk music with a refreshing sound.  We compose a lot of the songs we perform, which tell the stories of our lives in the northern mountains of the Adirondacks.  Even though our members change, some stay and some go, we are still a family band, have a sound unique to us, and believe that you will enjoy the sound we produce.

Frankie & The Moonlighters formed in 2022.  Since then, they have been experiencing ever growing popularity and demand. They have focused their efforts on performing hits from the 50s and 60s, with a family-friendly stage show, and period correct wardrobe.   The group originally performed in the Saranac Lake rea, but they have been on the road, throughout the northern region, performing at various large events, county fairs, and car shows.  They have recently recorded their first studio album, which will be available in the near future. 

Hailed as a“fast-rising NY band”by Live For Live Music, and a group that's “making waves in the scene" by JamBase, Organ Fairchild craft their organ-trio-meets-rock-band sound—described as “adventurous, vital and alive” by Glide Magazine—by synthesizing influences ranging from Soulive and Medeski Martin & Wood to The Grateful Dead, Steely Dan and the Meters. And when they're on stage completely captivating an audience without a bass player-and nobody singing-there is no confusing them for any other artist on today's scene. As FunkCity.net writes, “Get ready to be bowled over by this terrific trio-old school funk with new era notions of jam.”

Channeling the performative schools of Louis Prima, Little Richard, and Cab Calloway, Danny Lipsitzleads The Brass Tacks in a dynamic ride of hit mid 20th century music in spectacular style. A high-energy ensemble of world-class talent, The Brass Tacks expertly navigate swing, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, klezmer, jump blues, and traditional pop with Danny showcasing up to five instruments in a set. The captivating, feel-good music for people from all walks of life has earned the band a dedicated following.

Abridged and directed by Karen Lordi-Kirkham, Shakespeare’s comedy follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden.

Traditionalists or progressives? Fronted by the charismatic Jamaican-born singer and songwriter Nee Nee Rushie, the seven-piece New York band The Big Takeover plays original music that is rooted in and reverent toward the genres and rhythms of Jamaican pop: reggae, rocksteady, ska. They are devotees of Desmond Dekker and the way the old school did it. At the same time, The Big Takeover crosses lines and blends traditions like global pop fusionists. Their deceptively complex arrangements and big hooks connect with the spirit of Motown and the uptown sophistication of the 21st century retro soul and R&B revival scene.

Knotty Paddy performs Celtic rock (on the lighter side, not hardcore) and speed folk (traditional songs and tunes at an upbeat, danceable tempo). They also have a couple of originals and do some maritime stuff, like an upbeat version of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald!

Bob Stump singer songwriter on guitar is an Americana musician raised in the suburbs of NYC. Although surrounded by urban rock music influences, Bob was always intrigued by the sounds of folk music. The artist resonated with the sounds of folk artists and began a musical career inspired by them. The troubadour performs solo and with his band at fairs, festivals, concerts, clubs and live shows. In his early days he won a few flatpick guitar contests and continues to burn it up on stage.

Recently, the artist has been gaining a lot of exposure and moving up the musical ladder. A few years back his song, “The Rain Came Down,” won first place for the instrumental category in The New England Song Contest. Known for his authentic sound, over the years Bob has built a trade performing in some of the most renowned indy music venues in the Northeast and beyond. Some years performing well over one hundred events. In the past he has performed with John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, has performed and recorded with the late great Bill Keith. Recently in 2024 he opened the show for the legendary folk & bluegrass artist Tim Obrien. New for 2025 the artist is introducing his Americana Medicine Show.

You can expect a great line up of hot players performing roots music from the Mississippi Delta to the hills of Kentucky and beyond. The artist says “some things are just meant to be, with a name like Stump, roots music is in my blood”.
