The members of Lake Street Dive are young, but they have a mature sound that appealed to the Syracuse audience (young and old alike), especially the powerful vocals of Rachael Price (second from right).

Buckwheat on Percussion: who knew the brother was unce, tyce, and fee times a beast not just on the accordion, but also on the Hammond.
Here’s the answer to that age old question: who shot Buckwheat? Buckwheat Zydeco, that is. We did. He is an incredible performer and showed out for a fantastic Syracuse show (with a few encores). Buckwheat (aka Stanley Dural Jr) was given a proclamation by Frank Malfitano last night which made Friday, July 17, 2015 Buckwheat Zydeco Day.
The band moves on to Canada for a few shows next week.
Buck (the man, the performer), put in a swamp romp performance at day one of Jazz Fest.

Gregory Porter at Jazz Fest
This Throwback Thursday post is all about Fantastic Friday. The first night of 33rd Annual Syracuse Jazz Fest is tomorrow,and if history is any indicator, you just can’t sleep on the splashes of surprise and brilliance that those opening night’s provide.
These photos are from a memorable Friday night at Jazz Fest 2012 (when the event was held at Jamesville Beach). Kenny G seemed to appear magically in the middle of the crowd that night, then marched toward the stage playing with harmonic precision. And of course, as we’ve stated before, the Porter debut in CNY was one of our favorite Jazz Fest performances ever. He sang so good we could almost couldn’t stand it.
We can’t wait for the surprises Frank Malfitano and his staff have up their sleeve tomorrow. Remember last year on Friday when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Trombone Shorty provided a healthy slice of New Orleans at Jazz Fest?
