Guess Who Rocked the SAC Event Center?

The Guess Who put on a landmark rock show for the Seneca Allegany Casino

Author(s):

Andrew Cauley

The lights dim and Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna” begins to play, echoing off the walls as five men take to the stage. A single spotlight comes on, and droning guitars weave into the quilted web of noise as each player takes his instrument. Is it the Super Bowl? Not quite. It’s only The Guess Who at the Seneca Allegany Casino on Saturday night, but for the casino, it may have been an equally momentous performance.

What do you get when you take five of the hottest musical acts from the area and put them in a large room with a bar and PA system? Well, a rock show, of course. Odeum Entertainment’s first Southern Tier Unsigned Musician’s Showcase brought a variety of performances to the Olean American Legion on Saturday and Sunday, ranging from the soothing acoustic strumming of Luke and Angee to the sweltering riffs and rapid-fire rim shots of Led by the Blind.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band electrify the Seneca Allegany Casino Event Center

The Event Center at the Seneca Allegany Casino was once again a packed house Saturday night as Blues guitar virtuoso Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band rocked the room.

From the opening note to the final chord, Shepherd let everyone know that he is one of the masters. His ability to take on the solo, and play seamlessly throughout, made it arguably the best Blues performance going on in the region this past weekend.

Spectrum Series presents Yaros-Sullivan and Severtson, who deliver a grand operatic performance at UPB's Bromeley Family Theater

Author(s):

Andrew Cauley

Scrunching her face into scowls and scratching her head, mezzo-soprano Lorraine Yaros-Sullivan took on a new character with veritably every turn of the page in an intimate performance at Bromeley Family Theatre. From a confused, love –starved girl to a horrid stepmother, Sullivan told her tales to the tunes of Georges Bizet, Gioachino Rossini, Benjamin Britten, Richard Strauss, and the shimmering sounds of her accompanist, Kirk Severtson, on piano.

March 5th

Guitarist, pianist and singer CONNIE HAMILTON of Nunda grew up with classical music (her mother was a church organist, a proficient accompanist and music teacher). Then s-t-e-r-e-o hit her house and Judy Collins, Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Roberta Flack, Cher and Julie Andrews became her idols. She taught herself how to play guitar so she could sing their wonderful songs. She’s performed at many weddings, concerts and church functions, and piano for the Ossian Presbyterian Church where she just started a children’s choir.

Five Times August Performs at UPB

Author(s):

Andrew Cauley

A scruffy, unshaven, beanie-clad Bradley Skistimas took the stage on Thursday in standard emo attire: a blue dress shirt, silver tie, and skinny black jeans. His persona clashed with the tightly polished image that hung on the large publicity banner behind him that portrayed Skistimas as a clean-cut, All-American artist. At first, it seemed that maybe it was just his attire that was out of place, but as the night continued, it became apparent that Skistimas’ enthusiasm was also on leave this evening.

On Jan. 28, Wellsville’s Cort Dunham, 55, his son Dan Dunham and close friend Justin Cornelius set up in what locals call the Fillmore Hotel for a night full of good, old-fashioned rock music.

Before you know it Dan, 23, hits the kick and the band busts out into a sound that fills the entire room. The lyrics to Bob Seger’s timeless classic “Sunspot Baby” ring out over the warm distortion of Cort’s guitar shuffles to the crowd.
