Gazebo Concert Series: Cincinnati Creek

The Old Forge Library’s Gazebo Concert Series continues Tuesday, July 28, at 4 pm with a free performance by Cincinnati Creek, a beloved Adirondack band known for its rich harmonies, original songs, and welcoming, family-friendly style.

Named after the nearby Cincinnati Creek in the foothills of the Adirondacks, the group blends folk, bluegrass, and Americana influences into performances that are both heartfelt and engaging. Cincinnati Creek features songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lori Thompson, along with Cathy Martin on bass and vocals, Chris Pepe on banjo, and Joe Rowlands on guitar and vocals.

The band has become a favorite throughout the region, performing at venues and events including Utica Monday Night, the Fox Family Festival, Adirondack Railroad events, the Remsen Barn Festival, as well as numerous coffeehouses and outdoor festivals.

The Gazebo Concert Series offers residents and visitors a chance to relax, connect with neighbors, and enjoy live music in a beautiful outdoor setting. Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket. In the event of rain, the concert will be held under the library’s large lawn tent.

Weather permitting, the Friends of the Old Forge Library will also host a used book, DVD, and puzzle sale by donation, with proceeds supporting library programs and services.
