Schedule

5 p.m. | Get ready!

Come early to enjoy the space and to grab your spot before the show starts. Food and beverage vendors will be onsite. Lawn chairs, blankets, coolers and picnics are welcome.

5:30 p.m. | Bugle Boys

The Bugle Boys feature Clay Fulton and Nick Novotny - two members of the Rochester-based roots rock group Clay Fulton & The Lost 40. With a stripped down approach to Lost 40 favorites, as well as new takes on classic tunes, the Bugle Boys put on a show that captures the intimate storytelling, catchy choruses, and all the vocal harmonies you have come to expect from the Lost 40. 

Grab your favorite flavor of Bugles, the best snack for putting miles in to a show, and come party with the Bugle Boys! 

6:30 p.m. | The Avey Grouws Band

The Avey Grouws Band has a raw, powerful roots rock sound, infused with blues and soul. Led by dynamic vocalist Jeni Grouws and guitarist Chris Avey, the band’s two top ten Billboard charting albums, "Tell Tale Heart" and "The Devil May Care," showcase their gritty style and impressive songwriting. In 2023, Avey Grouws Band embarked on a national tour, captivating audiences across the country.
