"Last year's season made a significant impact on the local economy, selling out local hotels and inviting concertgoers from a wide geographical range to experience the wonderful restaurants and entertainment that the Finger Lakes Region has to offer, " said Ginny Clark, president and executive director, Friends of CMAC, in a press release. "Our partnership with the The Bowery Presents, Ontario County, Finger Lakes Community College and SMG has elevated CMAC to a new level, and we look forward to another exciting season with these partners." Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs are announcing their 2011 tour on the heels of a Best Contemporary Folk Album Grammy win this year for "God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise." The album debuted at number three on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and number one on the Digital Album charts. Grammy winners Steely Dan, also Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act, will be touring this summer after receiving critical accolades for their 2009 tour. Jazz artist Sam Yahel will be the tour's support act. The Friends of CMAC plan to announce more concerts in the coming weeks, including three performances by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2010, CMAC hosted 23 concerts and tallied more than 100, 000 attendees. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
