On Saturday, 6/19, we will be at the Steamboat Landing in Canandaigua. This awesome spot overlooks the north end of Canandaigua Lake, and the vistas are simply spectacular!

Open Wednesday through Saturday evenings, the Wine Bar offers a full range of premium wines by the glass, craft and micro brew beers in a frosted glass, and gourmet light fare prepared on the premises created by chef Derrick DePorter. One of the most unique aspects of the business is its location overlooking the Flint Creek Waterfall. During the nice weather, you can relax on the patio and enjoy the vista of the falls which are well lit in the evening. Inside you will find the cozy wine bar along with another room with a stone fireplace and comfy leather couch. Owner Al Deporter opened the Wine Bar in October of 2008 and is constantly expanding his drink list by enhancing it with great local wines and beers. Stop by and see us!

Have to get going for now. By the way, if you know of any venue in your area where we might be able to perform (bar, coffeehouse, house concert, etc.,), let us know. We don't need very much money, and in addition to being able to visit with you, it will give us a chance to travel, meet some new people, and spread our music a little more throughout the land! Hope you are all doing well! Drop us a line and let us know what is going on for you! Love ya!
Siobhan and Frank
