The Sammy Lifetime Achievement Award-winning band was joined on stage by a few special guests, including George Rossi, the multiple Sammy Award-winning keyboard player and band leader of the legendary Shufflin’ Hungarians and Caroline Manring Dean.
“We were thrilled, and a little overwhelmed, that so many people showed up for the concert on July 2nd,” said Holly Gregg, one of the members of the band that got its start in the Deans’ basement on East Lake Road in Skaneateles, more than 40 years ago. “There was magic in the air and it was so wonderful to see more than 1,000 people celebrating the kick-off of summer together,” he said. “That evening personified everything that is beautiful about the people of Skaneateles and central NY. We are so grateful to SKARTS for presenting such a fun-loving event for everyone in the community.”
The concert was sponsored by Cowley Associates, Group M Communications, Sherwood Inn and Skaneateles Talk.
