Rock the Lock at Schoharie Crossing

Rock the Lock at Schoharie Crossing

Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is excited to announce the 2026 ROCK the LOCK music series this coming August. Three afternoons of music will take place outside the Putman Canal Store at Yankee Hill Lock and feature local as well as regional music acts.

On August 22nd, Scott from Agape Blues Company will provide soulful blues and gospel inspired rock’n’roll as he opens for the local favorites, Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle. The duo of Cosby and Tom are award winning songwriters that will have you in awe from the first chord to last note. They’ll provide a range of humorous licks and rocking folk mixed with covers and originals you’ll feel like you’ve known forever.

The 2026 series is the Fourth Annual ROCK the LOCK series graciously supported by The Friends of Schoharie Crossing, WEXT Radio, and Karen’s Produce and Ice Cream. Saratoga Arts makes these performances possible through the Community Arts Regrant Program, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
