She’s shared stages with the Goo Goo Dolls\, 10\,000 Maniacs\, Anna Nalick\, Dickie Betts\, and more. \nYou’ve heard Cassandra’s songs on TV\, from Lifetime to ESPN to ABC\, including 13 songs on hit show Dance Moms. She has collaborated on songs with luminaries like the Goo Goo Dolls\, Chris Botti\, 10\,000 Maniacs\, DJ Taz Rashid\, and even her personal music hero\, Billy Joel. \nHer songs have helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for important causes\, such as “Not So Different” for Autism (performed for the NY Islanders at Barclays Center) and “You Get Me” for pet rescue (performed at Broadway’s iconic 54 Below).  \nA fierce advocate for women in entertainment\, she was the composer and bandleader of Emmy-winning new media TV Show “The Never Settle Show” hosted by Mario Armstrong; served on the board of Women in Music for 8+ years; and serves as the youngest and only female artist on the Caffe Lena board in Saratoga Springs\, NY. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Pete Muller & The Kindred Souls\nBorn in New Jersey to immigrant parents\, Muller began playing piano as a teenager\, picking up regular gigs as an accompanist while excelling enough at his academic studies to earn acceptance to Princeton University. A math whiz with a preternatural gift for numbers\, he found himself fascinated with the connections between technology and finance\, and within a decade of graduating\, he’d helped revolutionize the field of quantitative trading\, which in turn transformed Wall Street as we know it. \n“Once I accomplished everything that I’d set out to do in the business world\, I realized that I hadn’t nurtured the artistic side of my life\,” Muller explains. “There was a six-year period where my focus was so intense that I hardly touched my piano. My work was a single-minded obsession.”  \nFeeling spiritually drained\, Muller began drifting away from his work for a period of equally intense focus on his music: busking in the subways\, playing small clubs and cafes\, and writing his own songs for the first time. After releasing a pair of early albums\, he married\, moved to California\, and became a father. While he eventually returned to the business he’d founded\, he remained as dedicated as ever to his craft. In 2014\, he recorded his third album\, Two Truths and a Lie\, which introduced him to Avatar Studios (a New York landmark previously known as The Power Station\, where icons like Bruce Springsteen\, Paul Simon\, David Bowie\, and Bob Dylan had recorded). Upon learning the studio was under threat of being sold and redeveloped as condos\, Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save\, renovate\, and re-launch the space as a world-class recording and educational facility. He would go on to record his next two albums—2019’s Dissolve and 2022’s Spaces—there\, launching a whole new chapter of his career that would find him sharing bills with artists like Joan Osborne\, Jimmy Webb\, Livingston Taylor\, and Paul Thorn in addition to landing festival slots everywhere from Telluride to Montreux. \nThese days\, Muller is more content than ever\, embracing AND over OR as he splits his time between the East and West Coasts\, carving his own unique and inspiring path through the pair of vastly different\, yet ultimately complementary worlds he’s created for himself.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  “Cassandra Kubinski is very similar to the singer/songwriters of the late 70’s…proves that the genre (singer/songwriter) can still be transcendent.” – Billy Joel \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “I was immediately drawn to the passion Pete brings to every performance\,” says Ross-Spang\, who encouraged Muller to embrace a looser\, grittier approach in the studio built around live takes and free-flowing improvisation without the rigid constraints of a click track. “Joy truly abounds in his music\, and working with Pete reinforced those same feelings in me. I consider myself very lucky to have helped capture that feeling on his new record.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THEIR MUSIC\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BURN IT DOWN (Official Music Video)\n \n \n \n \n \n Pete Muller & The Kindred Souls | “If I Had A Boat” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Cassandra Kubinski\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More about Pete Muller & The Kindred Souls URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/cassandra-kubinski-with-pete-muller-the-kindred-souls/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Shepard Park,Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Cassandra-Pete.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250709T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250709T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T175942 CREATED:20250513T083039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250513T090625Z UID:18861-1752087600-1752093000@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:The Saline Fiddler's Philharmonic DESCRIPTION:Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic\nAmerica’s premier youth fiddling show band from Saline\, Michigan\, astounds audiences every time the group takes the stage.

He returned over the years with his Emerge Trio\, the WORKS Trio with Joe Lovano\, and his multimedia collaboration with The Seeing with Photography Collective\, Blind Visionaries\, inaugurating the first Friday evening Jazz at the Lake performance. \nAn artist who explores the meeting place of music with literature\, visual art and journalism with his various projects\, Daniel has created several works that incorporate poetry\, including All the World’s a Song: Shakespeare in Jazz\, which interprets Shakespeare’s words as lyrics to jazz songs. \nIn honor of the 40th anniversary of the festival\, Daniel uses the poetry of Paul Pines as inspiration for the music for this year’s performance. Paul\, who founded the Lake George Jazz Weekend along with John Strong in 1984\, was a dear friend to Daniel. He previously collaborated with Paul in his final months in 2018\, composing settings for poems from his book Gathering Sparks in a 45-minute suite scored for a jazz septet titled Museum of the Infinite. This year\, Daniel will explore Paul’s poetry throughout his writing career\, anthologized in the collection A Furnace in the Shadows: Selected Poems. \nKelly’s music has been declared “powerfully moving” by Time Out New York. He has performed with Grammy-award winners Joe Lovano & Nicole Zuraitis\, hip-hop star Lauryn Hill\, cutting-edge modern classical The Bang on a Can All-Stars and a long list of jazz musicians such as NEA Jazz Masters Dave Liebman & Sheila Jordan\, Don Byron\, Donny McCaslin\, Bobby Sanabria and many others. \nRakonto\, Kelly’s series of interview-based concerts\, have been commissioned by 13 performing art centers across the US. Each of these concert-length works have transformed stories of everyday people – farmers\, teachers\, students\, seniors\, immigrants and hurricane survivors – into dramatic and compelling music that celebrates our shared human experience. \nDaniel has been honored to continue Paul’s role as Curator of Jazz at the Lake for the past five years. \n“I remain convinced that Daniel Kelly is one of the most stunningly original talents both as an improviser and a leader that I have known in a long career of promoting this art form.

In addition to five GRAMMY Award Nominated albums with Joey Alexander\, Christian McBride Trio\, John Beasley’s Monk’estra\, and Gregory Porter. Both Jazziz and Rolling Stone Magazines picked his album “Songs of Freedom\,” as a Top Ten Album for 2019 and in 2021; his most recent Big Band release\, “Soul Conversations\,” was voted the top album in May 2021 by JazzIz Magazine. “Soul Conversations\,” received rave reviews and was added to multiple playlists on Apple Music\, Spotify\, and Sirius XM; and now the band is touring nationally. The Ulysses Owens Jr. Big Band has also been voted “Rising Star Big Band ” of 2022 by Downbeat Magazine. His upcoming eighth album release A New Beat\, will feature his new “Generation Y” Band on the Cellar Jazz record label. The album was produced by Jeremy Pelt and recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studios\, in New Jersey. \nAbout Generation Y\nGeneration Y is a band concept that was conceived back in 2019 with the goal promoting the next generation of dynamic talent from the top music conservatories in NYC and beyond. Led by Ulysses Owens Jr. who is a Multi Grammy Award-winning Drummer\, Producer\, Educator\, Author and Cultural Entrepreneur. \nServing at The Juilliard School in the role of Small Ensemble Director within the Jazz Department for the last 8 years\, has given Ulysses a front row seat to this Generation’s top talent. Ulysses Owens Jr.\, has been the driving force behind such great artists as Nicholas Payton\, Christian McBride\, Wynton Marsalis\, Mulgrew Miller\, Joey Alexander and many others. Through his relationship with these great bandleaders he learned of the legacy of Art Blakey and Betty Carter\, both of whom were renowned for their own bands (which became educational institutions) and launched the careers of many of today’s paradigm-shifting musicians on the jazz scene. Generation Y is an updated model of the Jazz Messengers\, and many of these band members also perform in Ulysses’ big band. \nThe band just recorded their debut album “A New Beat” that will be released on the Cellar Live Record label\, in January 2024.

They write honest songs\, full of sing along melodies\, with lots of heart and just the right amount of sass. “It’s edgy-feel-good music that’s fun to watch”. (–The Houston Music Blog). \nThe Boston Globe call SIRSY “the little band with the big sound.” SXSW Music Blog says “SIRSY is NOT simply a two piece\, the sound they make is a head scratching\, WOW!” SIRSY is fronted by charismatic vocalist/ drummer Melanie Krahmer who has “one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear.” (–Times Union) At live shows\, Mel also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick & throws in a few mean flute solos too. Guitarist\, and Mel’s husband\, Rich Libutti plays a road worn and well-loved Rickenbacker guitar through a pedal board full of vintage effects. Live\, Rich also plays bass on a pedalboard with his feet. So\, these multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band\, despite there being just two of them. And somehow\, they do it all with big smiles on their faces. It’s clear they love what they do. And that love is contagious when you see them live. You can’t help smiling along with them.

DESCRIPTION:with The Switch and The Stony Creek Band\n6:30pm: The Switch is a rock n’ roll band that also calls on blues and funk influences. Known for their powerful and full sound\, they’ll be performing everything from Led Zeppelin to the Allman Brothers to the Meters to BB King to some originals. \n8pm: For 50 years years\, the Stony Creek Band has been one of the most enduringly popular musical groups in the northeastern United States. The Stony Creek Band has thrilled generations of fans with its high energy blend of rock\, folk\, country and bluegrass; a sound that has consistently defied description but is “a product of the landscape as authentically upstate as any Hudson River School painting or sculpture by David Smith” and performed in a manner described by one reviewer as “a ferocious ensemble attack; like a runaway train!”. \nThe Stony Creek Band began with the 1973 meeting of John Strong\, a folksinger/guitarist from the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and Hank Soto\, a guitarist and songwriter from the Bavarian Alps of Germany. Along with a bass player the Stony Creek Band began life as a folk trio\, touring coffee houses in New York\, Vermont\, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. After moving to the Adirondack mountain hamlet of Stony Creek\, NY the band quickly developed into a 7-piece musical powerhouse featuring drums\, a rock guitarist\, pedal steel guitar and banjo that\, for a time\, was the little town’s largest year-round employer! \nIn the 1980’s the band evolved into its current 5-piece configuration which now includes producer/ singer /songwriter Dave Maswick on bass\, blues hall of fame member Mike Lomaestro on drums\, and noted bluegrass mandolin virtuoso Fred Lantz. Over the years\, the Stony Creek Band has made hundreds (if not thousands) of concert appearances including a live performance on international TV for the closing ceremonies of the Goodwill Winter Games\, an appearance at a New York State gubernatorial inauguration\, a February outdoor appearance at the 25th anniversary celebration of the “Miracle on Ice” (brrrr) and a live performance on NBC’s TODAY show with Meredith Viera and Ann Curry. \nOver the past 50 years\, the Stony Creek Band has evolved from an acoustic trio with roots in traditional folk and country music to a purveyor of American idioms\, and back again. The band’s music is the sound of mature\, seasoned artists who have outlasted the years and their own baser instincts to mentor and encourage younger artists\, enrich their communities and preserve and transmit a living memory. \nPresented in partnership with the Village of Lake George \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/the-stony-creek-bands-50th-anniversary-party/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/161684726_199941445265694_7879215992388258452_n.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230823T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230823T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T175942 CREATED:20230512T150724Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230718T084838Z UID:7691-1692817200-1692822600@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:The Ill Funk Ensemble DESCRIPTION:The Ill Funk Ensemble\n7pm: A slick mash-up of hip-hop\, neo-soul\, R&B and rock that’s been compared to The Roots\, THE ILL FUNK ENSEMBLE has been described as “soul for the masses” (Technorati.com)\, “airtight on all levels” (JamSphere Magazine)\, “brilliant” (The Signal Magazine) and “about to change the face of hip-hop music” (Indie Band Guru).  \nA fixture of the Albany\, NY music scene for more than 17 years\, ILL FUNK has racked up an impressive resume; winning awards for their original albums\, collaborating with Quincy Jones (famed producer of Michael Jackson’s Thriller)\, and sharing stages with multiple Grammy winners like Naughty by Nature and members of the Wu Tang Clan.  They’ve been featured in dozens of music and entertainment publications\, including Okayplayer\, and have had their music played all over the world.  Few artists in the area can boast this level of accomplishment\, but ILL FUNK remains close to their roots; a club band\, offering an array of original music and classic covers that is as entertaining as it is unique.  It’s for these reasons that THE ILL FUNK ENSEMBLE is repeatedly mentioned as one of the best bands in Upstate New York and will continue to offer a high quality hip-hop\, soul\, pop and R&B experience. \n \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/the-ill-funk-ensemble/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/326443578_745333429989290_4720947362991489087_n.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230816T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230816T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T175942 CREATED:20230512T150516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230816T185919Z UID:7689-1692212400-1692217800@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Zikina DESCRIPTION:Zikina\n7pm: Zikina is a group of people who came from across continents and cultures to show that despite all the forces in the world that emphasize our differences and try to diminish and pull us apart\, we can come together to make something beautiful and new. It doesn’t take long for this music to get you dancing\, clapping along\, connecting with the people around you\, and savoring the beauty of the present moment. You might start with curiosity when Uganda native Gideon Ampeire draws you in with a variety of traditional East African instruments that are rare and fascinating to US audiences\, including enanga (zither)\, adungu (harp)\, and kalimba (thumb piano) – all of which he builds himself. \nOnce your interest is piqued by the instruments\, you’ll quickly discover that there’s so much more to the band. Mike Cardozo (guitar\, percussion) improvises intricate melodic conversations with Gideon and dances through the beat with punchy rhythmic lines. Roston Kirk (bass) and Kade Parkin (drums) weave a sonic landscape that flows seamlessly from intense grooves to joyous dance beats to dreamy textures. Gideon’s vocals cut powerfully through the fabric or float lightly above. It all adds up to something completely unique\, yet immediately accessible.
