Artist’s Reception: Marypat Wager "Remnant / Revelation"
2026-07-11 16:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
About the Reception
Join the Lake George Arts Project at the Courthouse Gallery on July 11th to celebrate the opening of Remnant / Revelation, a solo exhibition of striking assemblage sculptures and wall pieces by acclaimed artist Mary Pat Wager.
The opening reception is a wonderful opportunity to meet the artist, discuss her unique creative process, and mingle with fellow members of our regional arts community. Light refreshments will be served.
About the Exhibition
In Remnant / Revelation, Mary Pat Wager explores the intersection of history, industrial waste, and cultural memory. Her heavy steel and mixed-material sculptures are meticulously constructed from vintage, industrial, and agrarian objects rescued from the quiet edges of the last century—sourced from junkyards, estate sales, and abandoned sites.
Through a laborious process of deconstruction, welding, and reconfiguration, Wager transforms these forgotten remnants of our past into profound, textured witnesses of human history. Her work does not merely mourn what our culture has cast aside; it interrogates it, asking what our choices to discard ultimately reveal about who we are.
Remnant / Revelation will be on display at the Courthouse Gallery from July 8th through August 8th
Gallery Hours
Wednesday through Friday, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM, and Saturdays, 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the historic Old County Courthouse, on the corner of Canada and Amherst Streets in Lake George Village. All exhibitions and receptions are free and accessible to all.

Summer Concert Series: Oobleck
2026-07-22 19:00 - 20:30 | Shepard Park, Canada Street, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Oobleck

Grungy original horn funk inspired by the after-dark variety of New Orleans street music
Oobleck A high-octane, five-piece funk band that’s been playing around the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and Vermont since 2008. It’s a melee of horns, super heavy drums and bass, and your favorite type of chunky guitar riffing that leaves your bum shaking and your face grinning.

Highly improvised, kinetic, effect-soaked horns create textural soundscapes with razor sharp horn lines. The vibe is high-energy and dance-focused – the rhythm section interlocked and syncopated, keeping us in the pocket and the dancers moving.

Invoking the spirit of ’70’s electric experimental jazz pioneers like Dizzy Gillespie, Cannonball Adderly, Donald Byrd, and Herbie Hancock and bringing in harder-modern avant-funk influences like Galactic, Budos Band, and sax virtuoso Skerik, Oobleck delivers a one of a kind sound and energy not matched by many in the local scene.

“Sometimes they pump out the stone-cold soul-funk of the JBs. Sometimes they veer into the Afro-funk of Fela Kuti. And sometimes…they head off into Frank Zappa’s Grand Wazoo territory.” – Nippertown

Ghost Town Blues Band CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER
2026-07-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Shepard Park, Canada Street, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER

A dynamic blues-rock group known for blending conventional blues with New Orleans brass, Southern soul, and improvisational jams

Recently headlining the blues stage at The Montreal Jazz Festival and appearing at The Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland, Beale Street’s latest success story, Tennessee Music Award Winner, 5-time Blues Blast Music Award Nominee and International Blues Challenge Runner-up is Ghost Town Blues Band. Not your grandpa’s blues band, their live show has been captivating audiences in the U.S., Canada and Europe with their “second-line horn entrance,” cigar box guitars and electric push brooms to Allman Brothers style jams.
The band’s stage show and energy is unparalleled and has been called the best new, live blues shows in the world.
Horns, harmonies and homegrown instruments combined with an energetic and roots rich festival set makes Ghost Town Blues Band one of the “must see live bands on the festival scene today.” Both Garrett Marshall behind the drums and Matt Karner on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind multi-instrumentalist/frontman Matt Isbell with raunchy cigar box guitar licks and raspy “Dr. John-like, whiskey and gravel-soaked vocals.” With the addition of Grayson Smith on B3, the grooves go from fresh to funky as the band gains more notoriety in the blues festival and Roots circuit. Ghost Town Blues Band has performed all across US, Europe and Canada at over 175+ festivals and will announce almost a half-dozen international tours in 2026.
GTBB’s new album Shine debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.

“GTBB shows what can happen when the past is distilled through young sensibilities, voices, and instruments. This is 21st century blues at its best.” – Living Blues Magazine

Summer Concert Series: The Bluebillies
2026-08-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Shepard Park, Canada Street, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
The Bluebillies
The Bluebillies don’t just sing Country songs; they embody them, performing their unique blend of country, bluegrass and folk music with traditional style, sound and spirit. Husband and wife team Mark and Melody Guarino have been singing together since 1984 when they first made it their mission to help revive and preserve the rich heritage of this great and uniquely American art form. With the addition of the Frank Orsini on fiddle and guitarist Greg Bucking, The Bluebillies were complete and perform together with all the joy and simpatico that only a “family” band can produce. The Bluebillies produce a series of traveling Old-time Gospel Music Revues each season, and also host their own gospel music open mic each summer, and have released three Cd’s; Adirondack Angels in 2016, Gal From Ioway in 2014, and Train to Paradise in 2013. The Bluebillies are:
Mel “Melba Deen” Guarino was born in Sioux City Iowa to parents who both were musicians in swing bands. The family traveled all around the Midwest following the music and eventually settled in her dirt road one horse hometown of Black Oak Indiana. After hitchhiking and traveling all over the USA, Mel settled in New York City where she played with various rock and folk bands. But soon she returned to the music she first heard and loved in Black Oak, where Country Music was the music of choice among the population who had moved up North to find work in the gritty steel mills of Whiting and Gary. And it was the music that would become the driving force behind The Bluebillies style that forges close harmony bluegrass and hillbilly music into one heart-wrenching all-American wail. Melody is a prolific, award winning songwriter (LARAC songwriter grant, 2013)
Mark Guarino cut his teeth on rockabilly and country in his first band, Buck Libido, and opened for bands like Pure Prairie League and New Riders of the Purple Sage. His NYC based band, The Ring, toured New England opening for acts such as The Ramones, Jason and the Scorchers, and Whitesnake. He is an accomplished songwriter and seasoned stage performer, well known throughout the lower Adirondack region.
Frank Orsini has been one of the prominent acoustic musicians of Upstate New York. He plays violin, viola and mandolin, and has recently taken up Celtic harp. A versatile fiddler, singer and seasoned ensemble player, he has been on numerous recordings and been a member of many established groups with a strong following including the Whipper-Snappers, the Upstate Bluegrass Band and the High Flyers.
Greg Bucking has spent the past two decades writing for and performing in a variety of projects and musical styles. One of his current bands, The Vine Brothers, has recorded three albums and spent the last five years touring across the US. His song “Three Bottles” was featured on the Discovery Channel show Vegas Rat Rods. Greg also wrote and recorded three albums for the New York based Mother Freedom, one for Broken Carousel, and penned the score for the independent film My Brother Jack. Greg also regularly performs with the NYC ska sensations The Scofflaws.

Yen Ha & Anna Rubin Present "A Storm Event"
2026-08-19 12:00 - 2026-09-12 17:00 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
A Storm Event
Visual artist YEN HA and musical composer ANNA RUBIN will present a multi-media installation titled A Storm Event, centered on a series of twelve large works on paper by Yen Ha that are intended to surround the viewers in the form of a continual landscape. The works on paper are extremely detailed and have each been composed from countless short, individual strokes that, during the process, form fluctuating patterns. For this exhibition, the artist attaches her finished drawings directly to the wall, without a frame, so that the viewer feels more directly affected by their physical presence.
The exhibition will be infused with the sound of Anna Rubin’s computer generated composition, composed especially for the occasion, which incorporates field recordings, synthesized sounds, and the artist reading her own poem, A Storm Event, in English, French and Vietnamese. With her installation’s fusion of the visual, the musical and the linguistic, Yen Ha is creating an experience for the viewer that doesn’t just appeal to multiple senses at once, but multiple linguistic forms as well.
In Yen Ha’s own words, “The exhibition surrounds the viewer both visually and aurally in marks that appear to move on the page while sounds weave through the space. The combination of activated senses deepens the connection to the natural experience of a storm, reminding visitors of the ferocious energy of nature.” The references to nature that abound in A Storm Event has special resonance In the intimate scale of the historic Courthouse Gallery, with its vintage fireplace and picturesque views of Lake George.

About the Artist
Born in Saigon, Yen Ha is an artist and writer who lives in New York City, where she co-founded the architecture firm, Front Studio. Ha’s work is supported by fellowships from the Hambidge Center, Monson Arts and the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Her LGAP exhibition will be the second iteration of A Storm Event, which was first presented last year at Artspace in Richmond, VA.
Anna Rubin’s music is propelled by her love of the speaking and singing voice as well as environmental and political issues. She has composed for a variety of musical genres including chamber, choral, wind and orchestral ensembles. She also incorporates spoken word into electronic sound collages. Her electronic music has accompanied stage, video and dance.

Kneebody
In their almost two-decade history, the Grammy-nominated band Kneebody has created a genre and style all its own. Their sound is an explosive blend of rock energy and high-level, nuanced chamber ensemble playing, set within the frames of highly wrought compositions that balance adventurous, no-holds-barred improvisation.
Now, in 2025, Kneebody embarks on an exciting new chapter with the release of their highly anticipated album, Reach, set to drop on April 18 via GroundUP Music. This marks the band’s latest project as a quartet, featuring keyboardist Adam Benjamin, trumpeter Shane Endsley, saxophonist Ben Wendel, and the uniquely dynamic Nate Wood, who simultaneously handles both bass and drums. Reach exemplifies Kneebody’s continued evolution, pushing the boundaries of genre while delivering their signature blend of intricate composition and raw energy.
The album’s lead single, “Repeat After Me,” is already available for streaming, giving audiences a first taste of Kneebody’s refined yet adventurous approach. Saxophonist Ben Wendel describes the track as a “cheeky song” that channels a Morse code-inspired melody through shifting harmonies and groove-driven intensity. With Reach, the band showcases their ability to weave together complex rhythmic structures, fiery improvisations, and a profound sense of collective synergy.
Kneebody’s journey began in their late teens at the Eastman School of Music and CalArts, where they formed deep musical connections that ultimately converged into the band’s distinctive voice amid the vibrant Los Angeles music scene in 2001. Since then, they have garnered critical acclaim and built a dedicated international following. Their music defies classification, drawing from influences that include 1960s free-bop, 1970s jazz rock, 1990s hip-hop, and post-millennial indie rock, all infused with a classical post-minimalist sensibility.
Throughout their career, Kneebody has continuously innovated, earning a Grammy nomination for their 2009 collaboration with Theo Bleckmann on 12 Songs of Charles Ives. They have released a series of boundary-pushing albums, from The Line (2013) on Concord Records to Kneedelus (2015), a groundbreaking collaboration with electronic artist Daedelus on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label. Their discography also includes Anti-Hero (2017, Motéma Music), By Fire (2019), and Chapters (2019), their first full-length release as a quartet, featuring collaborations with Becca Stevens, Gretchen Parlato, Michael Mayo, Gerald Clayton, and Josh Dion.
With Reach, Kneebody is not just releasing an album—they are signaling a new era for the band. As they prepare to take the new music on the road, fans can expect an electrifying tour filled with their signature unpredictable energy, tight interplay, and spontaneous musical risk-taking. With a legacy of innovation and a future that continues to defy expectations, Kneebody remains at the forefront of modern creative music.
