FORT HUNTER – Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site is happy to announce the 2025 ROCK the LOCK music series. Three afternoons of music will occur in August outside the Putman Canal Store at Yankee Hill Lock and feature local as well as regional acts. These performances will begin at 1pm on Saturday, August 16th, August 23rd, and August 30th.
To start off the series, the site welcomes the Zorbas Trio, who combine jazzy rock with classical sensibility. They’ll be followed by the Bluebillies, performing their unique blend of country, bluegrass and folk music with traditional style, sound and spirit.
On August 23rd, the Hudson Valley gothy group Dust Bowl Faeries will open for the swinging Nisky Dixie Cats. The series wraps up on August 30th with folky duo, Question of the Century as the opener for the Albany based alt rock band called E.R.I.E.
These events are supported by the Friends of Schoharie Crossing, WEXT Radio, Metroland Magazine, and Karen’s Produce and Ice Cream. Saratoga Arts made this program possible through the Community Arts Regrant Program, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
The location for this series is Yankee Hill Lock at Schoharie Crossing, 550 Queen Anne Road, Amsterdam, Montgomery County.
