Music by the Lake - Yacht Lobsters
2023-07-28 18:00 - 20:00 | Long Lake Town Beach
6-8pm. Long Lake Town Beach.
Featuring: Yacht Lobsters. Established in 2022 in New York City, the Yacht Lobsters sail the waves of the butteriest Soft Rock of the 70’s and early 80’s. Their big sound recreates – and at times reimagines – the studio mastery of retro-rock icons like Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates, Toto, etc.
It’s the breezy Yacht Rock cool vibe you know and love, fused with stellar vocals, a full horn section and unique elements of NOLA funk, classic rock and jazz improvisation to keep things bouncy, set your mood to festive and ensure your boat’s a-rockin’. There’s even a tasteful smattering of original music that sounds like it stepped right out of 1978.
Founded by the visionary team behind Brother Joscephus and the Love Revolution, the Lobster roster features NYC’s finest professional musicians who have played together for decades.
Grab your captain’s hat, make that Pina Colada a double and climb aboard!

Participants will also be looking for animal tracks – Black Bear and Moose tracks are frequently found on this old road. In August, the Roosevelt Truck Trail is a wonderful place to look for mushrooms and lichens.

There is a restroom at the Geiger Arena, and there are two outhouses along the trail at camping locations (& picnic tables).

Gratefully Yours - Music by the Lake
2023-08-18 18:00 - 20:00 | Long Lake Town Beach
Friday, August 18, 2023 – NEW DATE!
Music by the Lake – Gratefully Yours
6-8pm. Long Lake Town Beach.
Gratefully Yours is a Grateful Dead inspired band, based out of New Paltz, NY. The band was conceived and founded in 2012 by keyboardist Alex Mazur, who is also the founder of The Deadbeats; one of the longest running Grateful Dead cover bands in existence.
However, “cover band” is an extremely misleading term when it comes to the music of Gratefully Yours. Their willingness and ability to improvise, and their openness to spontaneity and the energy of the moment lie at the core of their performances and truly sets them apart. In the very best tradition of The Grateful Dead, it is this openness that allows the crowd to become a part of the creative process and results in a synergy between the band and the crowd that is unique and truly special. It is that magic that Gratefully Yours truly aims to “cover” and pay tribute to.
They also allow their audience to participate further by giving them the opportunity to submit their dream setlists, which Gratefully Yours just happen to choose and perform. But of course, you just never know what might happen…
The band members are all long time highly regarded players in the scene: Alex Mazur, Garrin Benfield, Jude DeFalco, Frank Casciaro, Robert Schiff and Jessica Barlow. And they have some very special guests and friends who have and do sit in with them. Zach Nugent (Melvin Seals & JGB), Vinnie Amico (moe.), Tony Markelis (Trey Anastasio Band), Bill Carbone (Max Creek), Rob Eaton (Dark Star Orchestra), and Russ Lawton (Trey Anastasio Band).
