Live From Linden announces that a full season of live music will again be provided free to the public in downtown Geneva. Starting this Friday, May 10th, Linden Street will have music from 6:30 to 9:30 pm every Friday and Saturday, weather permitting.
Music from solo artists to six-piece bands will bring the street alive. Linden will be closed to vehicles so that the public can enjoy drinks and food outdoors at the numerous bars and restaurants. The season kicks off with local favorites Michael “Lone Gonzo” Gonzalez on Friday and Jerry Martin on Saturday.
Dave Linger, who owns property on Linden Street with his partner Wendy Marsh, remarked that “we will continue to focus on local talent this season. Geneva favorites Zydecorp, Slick Sly and the Cool Club & the Lipker Sisters are three of many acts that are returning. We are also fortunate to have folks coming in from Oswego, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and even Miami to play Linden Street. This is shaping up to be our best year of free live music yet.”
The Live From Linden property owners and merchants wish to give a special thanks to Lyons National Bank for their sponsorship this year. “LNB is excited to support this year’s Live from Linden music season as lead sponsor for the program,” said Heather Whalen, branch manager of LNB’s Geneva office. “As an employer in downtown Geneva, LNB has a shared commitment of supporting the vitality and vibrancy of the Geneva business community. We encourage people to visit Linden Street and support local businesses throughout the warm-weather season.”
The music will continue every weekend through October 4th.
