SUMMARY:May Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year the Thornden team hosts the May Day Celebration for Syracuse Morris and rapper teams\, starting at 6am\, this year at the Thornden Park water tower hill. These celebrations have been held\, rain or shine\, on May 1 every year since 1981. \nThe celebrations feature: \n\n\n  \nMorris dancing at dawn by Syracuse area teams.

SUMMARY:Lee Fields
DESCRIPTION:Lee Fields at The Westcott Theater in Syracuse\, NY on May 8th\, 2026!\n\nSoul music pours out of Lee Fields\, as free and unstinting as God’s love. It has ever since the 1960s\, when he was a teenager in North Carolina sweating it out on juke joint stages\, crumpled dollars hailing at his feet. It continues now that the living legend is in his late sixties\, ushering in the most successful and fruitful period of his career.\n\nLike any living legend worth their salt\, Fields has suffered despair\, obscurity\, defeat. Although he now tours stages around the world\, and although he helped fellow soul legends like Sharon Jones (who was once Fields’ backup singer) and Charles Bradley (whom Fields took on his first tour) get their first break\, he did not always have this position. There were years — they were known as “the 1980s” — when Fields nearly gave up. His success these days\, then\, has a bittersweet tinge: His dear friends Bradley and Jones have both passed\, leaving Fields to outlive them and carry their legacy forth.\n\nWith all these years\, and all this life\, comes a sort of divine wisdom\, and Fields has it in spades. “I am a sinner\, just like everybody else\,” he says gravely. He is no “holier-than-thou guy\,” he adds. He just believes in people’s ability to love and be loved\, and he understands that music is the divine bridge to these places. “We should be conscious at all times of what is good and what is bad\,” he tells me. “Once we lose that consciousness\, we are deceived\, we are tricked.” This worldview\, equally stern and loving\, rocksteady and welcoming\, finds its fullest expression yet on It Rains Love\, his latest and possibly his most earnest record ever.\n\nIt Rains Love is music of endless love\, of endless hurt\, of reverberating kindness and wisdom\, of decades and lifetimes’ worth of pain alchemized into kindness. It is the warmth of a hand extended\, grasping yours. His lyrics glow with an unearthly purity he has never allowed himself to touch before. He has never been a dictator\, a la James Brown\, but his longtime band\, the Expressions\, gave him free rein to do whatever he wanted. He ended up putting more of himself — his eloquent\, peculiar self — into his music than he used to dare. As he puts it on the titles of the new album’s last two songs\, “God Is Real” and “Love Is The Answer.” Taken together\, they could be everything Fields has been trying to say ever since his recording career began. It is nothing less than his take on the human condition.\n\nThe love of God\, in whatever form the divine mystery might take\, radiates outward from the humid and joyfully relaxed arrangements of The Expressions. For Lee Fields\, born Elmer\, Jesus is Buddha is the Torah is the Bible is the love we feel for our families. “I am of Christian faith\, but I believe God is all in all\,” he says. “I believe any religion that tells you to do the right thing.” The music ranges just as wide\, without ever losing its compass in soul: The deep echoes on the drums of “God Is Real” hint at dub.\n\nOnly a true survivor could have made It Rains Love\, and Fields is nothing if not that. Fields has been married to the same woman for 50 years. He lives in the same house. He is a man of deep and abiding faiths\, and part of his bedrock comes from the moment in the 1980s\, when his career seemed over. He had never gotten famous\, and the gigs were drying up. It was time\, he thought. There would be no more Lee Fields. “I thought I was done\,” he says of the era when the soul music revolution of the previous decade seemed to beat a hasty retreat under the lacquered assault of new synthesized equipment and stiff\, early drum machine programming. “I had almost literally given up.” He made other plans — he worked in real estate. He planned to open a restaurant. He settled into his role\, not as Lee Fields\, but as Elmer\, the dependable and steadfast family man who underpinned his wild stage performer’s alter ego. “My wife stopped me\, man\, she told me ‘stick to what you know.'”\n\nToday\, he stands at the forefront of the soul revival\, a bustling and ever-growing corner that has nourished the nutrient-starved waters of 21st century pop music with virtues it lacks: a sense of timelessness\, of eternity\, of a tradition extending backward into generations. Lee Fields’ music has been chopped up and sampled by hip hop artists as diverse as J. Cole and Travis Scott. Cole\, Fields laughs\, thought that the sample was taken from a song “from back in the day.” It wasn’t\, in the strictest sense — Cole sampled “My World Is Empty Without You” and “Ladies\,” which were both from Fields’ album My World\, made in 2009 — in a deeper sense\, it was true. Fields’ music doesn’t belong to Now; it belongs to eternity. He has been testifying\, in the purest sense of the word\, since Otis Redding was alive. He is living history.

SUMMARY:Violent Vira
DESCRIPTION:Violent ViraWestcott TheaterMon. 5/18 | 8PM\n\n\nA girl abandoned by her lover is ostracized by the people of the small religious town she lives in for refusing to believe he fled the scene of a deadly crime. Following the last signal from his cell phone\, she arrives at the location he was last pinned only to find yards of bloodstained caution tape wrapped around the trees and a chalk outline on the road. The unspoken horror before her fractures her sanity with unexpected grief. Desperate for answers\, she returns to the scene in search of clues\, only to be met by the silent gaze of a ghost standing in the corner of where it all took place. Will she come to terms with the reality of her abandonment\, rooted in homicide\, or will she let her mind be consumed by the illusion of a lover who will never leave?\n\n\nVIP Ticket Includes:\n1 GA ticket\nVIP Lanyards\nEarly access to venue and merch booth\nPhoto with Violent Vira\n2 small merch items + bag

SUMMARY:Samantha Fish
DESCRIPTION:Samantha Fish brings her Paper Doll World Tour to The Westcott Theater in Syracuse\, NY on May 28th!\nTickets On-Sale Friday 2/27 @ 10AM EST\nDoors at 7PM | Show at 8PM\nOne of the most formidable guitarists of her generation\, Samantha Fish deals in her own unmatched brand of bravado\, bringing both mind-blowing power and extraordinary emotionality to everything she creates. Since first introducing the world to her larger-than-life talent\, the multi-award-winning festival headliner has built a triumphant career whose latest milestones include earning a Grammy nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton) and opening for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 U.S. tour date. On her new album Paper Doll\, Fish offers up nine powerhouse songs that hit with an unstoppable force\, each delivered with an exquisite dose of illuminating insight\, soul-soothing empathy\, and—above all—newly heightened clarity of vision. “It’s taken me years to finally find my voice in a studio setting\,” Fish admits. “But with this record I took everything I had\, and slammed it right on the table.”\n\nFish’s first-ever album recorded with her touring band\, Paper Doll takes its title from the first song the Kansas City-bred musician penned for the LP: a raw yet reflective battle cry that perfectly encapsulates the album’s spirit of unapologetic defiance. “That song’s a feminist anthem in a way—but then again\, every song’s a feminist anthem when you’re a woman writing from your own experience\,” says Fish. “It’s about rebelling against other people’s expectations of who you’re supposed to be\, which feels pretty relevant for the times we’re living in right now.”\n\nRecorded at The Orb in Austin and Savannah Studios in L.A.\, Paper Doll marks the latest entry in an uncompromising and endlessly adventurous catalog that’s found her working with luminaries like Jon Spencer of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion as well as Luther Dickinson (co-founder of North Mississippi Allstars and former member of the Black Crowes). This time around\, Fish reunited with Detroit garage-rock icon Bobby Harlow\, who also produced her 2017 LP Chills & Fever. “When I look back on Chills & Fever I realize that Bobby was pushing me into some cool and dangerous places\, but at that phase in my life I was holding back a bit\,” she says. “Now I’m at a point where I’m ready to give people something totally unexpected\, something that breaks the pop formula and really takes its time to tell a story with the guitar playing.”\n\nFor help in shaping Paper Doll’s magnificently rowdy but nuanced sound\, Fish joined forces with bandmates Ron Johnson (bass)\, Jamie Douglass (drums)\, and Mickey Finn (keys)\, cutting most of the album in the midst of a grueling touring schedule that included a run of dates with Slash on the legendary guitarist’s S.E.R.P.E.N.T. festival in summer 2024. “I’d never made a record on the road like that\,” Fish reveals. “Even though it was so intense\, it felt good to keep up the momentum from the live show. It helped us make an album that’s got a real living\, breathing pulse to it.”\n\nA potent balance of catharsis and introspection\, boldness and vulnerability\, Paper Doll opens on the sublimely moody riffs of “I’m Done Runnin’”—an exhilarating statement of self-reliance\, expressed with unshakable self-possession (from the bridge: “When I look in the mirror\, staring at the unknown/The world’s not getting clearer\, but I like where I’m goin’”). “It’s about pushing forward even when life knocks you down\, because you know what you want\,” Fish explains. One of several songs partly composed with her longtime co-writer Jim McCormick (a multi-platinum hitmaker whose credits also include Luke Bryan and Tim McGraw)\, “I’m Done Runnin’” draws much of its impact from Fish’s deepened confidence in her vocal prowess. “Singing live onstage is one thing\, but learning how to bring that energy into the studio is a whole different beast\,” she points out.\n\nAnother track steeped in fiery attitude and hard-won self-assurance\, “Lose You” kicks into a breakneck pace as Fish confronts a noncommittal paramour\, adorning her takedown with a blazing guitar solo and the beguiling harmonies of backup singers D. Scaife\, Keo\, and Gabbi Beauvais. “It’s a song about taking control and calling the shots in a relationship\,” says Fish. “It’s my way of saying\, ‘I’m on fire and you’re not\, so what are you gonna do about it?’” Later\, on the wildly fun “Rusty Razor\,” Paper Doll goes scorched earth with a brutally catchy tirade against life’s infinite injustices\, amping up the track’s pure punk exuberance with the help of guest vocalist Mick Collins (co-founder of seminal Detroit bands The Gories and The Dirtbombs). “The older you get\, the more you can become numb to all the bad shit that happens in life—whether it’s friends passing away before their time\, or working so hard and never getting to where you want to be\,” says Fish. “But the truth is\, we should never get used to our hearts being broken like that.”\n\nAlthough a feverish intensity fuels much of Paper Doll\, the album drifts into a dreamlike languor on songs like “Fortune Teller” (a psych-blues slow-burner driven by a particularly spellbinding vocal turn from Fish). Meanwhile\, “Sweet Southern Sounds” unfolds in smoldering riffs and lush organ melodies\, ultimately taking the form of a soul-searching epic that turns gloriously frenetic in its final moments. Co-written with fellow New Orleans-based singer/songwriter Anders Osborne\, the result is a gripping meditation on a tension all too familiar to those fiercely devoted to their passion. “It’s an anthem about being on the road and feeling guilty about not prioritizing the people in your life\,” says Fish. “It’s hard to find that balance between taking care of your relationships and dedicating yourself to your music\, and there’s definitely a tinge of heartache to that song.”\n\nA consummate music obsessive who lists such eclectic artists as Prince\, Leonard Cohen\, and Black Sabbath among her influences\, Fish found herself especially fascinated with Delta blues heroes like Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside in the writing of Paper Doll. “I love how in a lot of Mississippi Hill Country blues there’s a drone that happens on the low notes and keeps you hypnotized throughout the song\,” she says. “A lot of the guitar work on this record is inspired by that style of playing—and then from there it explodes in all different directions\, from rock & roll to soul to pop.” In sculpting such an expansive body of work\, Fish found an ideal creative partner in Harlow\, who also co-wrote a number of songs on Paper Doll. “I can be a perfectionist when it comes to recording\, and it was cool to have Bobby around to stop from me trying to robotically hit the exact note over and over\,” she says. And as a born performer who got her start by thumbing through the phone book and cold-calling local bars for gigs in her mid-teens\, Fish crafted every song on Paper Doll with an eye toward her incendiary live show. “The main goal is to make great songs that tap into whatever I’m feeling at the moment\, but at the same time I’m asking\, ‘How is this going to feel live?’” she says. “I’m always thinking about how to add to our arsenal of songs and put together an amazing show for when we’re back out on the road.”\n\n\nArguably her most accomplished work to date\, Paper Doll emerged from Fish’s deliberate embracing of the ineffable musical gifts she’s cultivated almost her entire life. “When we started working on this record I asked myself\, ‘What are my superpowers?’ I wanted to lean into my strengths in a way I never completely had before\, to make a big guitar album with some epic performances and really sing my ass off\,” she says. “I ended up pouring so much emotion into all the songs\, and I hope they help people feel fired up and ready to take on anything that comes their way. I’d love for this record to be somebody’s jet fuel.”
