Godsmack has more Top 10 Rock Songs than Foo Fighters or their hometown heroes, Aerosmith. Stretching back to their four-times platinum self-titled debut, initially recorded in 1996 for $2500, the veteran band’s catalog of hits is enough to fill a marathon set without running out. Songs like “I Stand Alone,” “Awake,” and “Voodoo” are certified anthems deeply encoded into hard rock’s DNA.
Staind has recorded seven studio albums, its most successful in the early 2000s, “Break the Cycle” going five times platinum in the United States and producing a top-five Billboard Hot 100 hit with its lead single “It's Been Awhile.” Break the Cycle, along with the band's following two full-length albums, also topped the Billboard 200, and the two after peaked within the top five. Several of their other singles also became rock and pop hits, including “Fade,” “For You,” “Price to Play,” “So Far Away,” and “Right Here.” (Wikipedia)

Steven Page will be the first artist to perform on the newly renamed Suburban Park Stage when the 2023 Great New York State Fair begins this summer. Page (formerly of Barenaked Ladies) will perform at 2:00 p.m. on Opening Day, Wednesday, August 23.
Steven continues to tour around the world performing solo, as one third of the Steven Page trio and even with full orchestra ensembles, more than 30 years after becoming a household name as a songwriter, lead vocalist, and co-founder of the Barenaked Ladies.
Steven has produced five albums throughout his solo career–most recently Excelsior in 2022. Right now, he’s working on an album with The Trans-Canada Highway Men (a quartet comprised of four lead singers of classic Canadian bands including Steven) expected to be released this fall. Steven was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018.
Also something of a “New York State celebrity,” Page lives in Manlius, a suburb of Syracuse. In fact, fairgoers who attended the first day of the Fair in 2022, might remember watching Steven perform at Chevy Court to open the Chevrolet Music Festival last year.

Mary Lambert, a pop singer, songwriter, spoken word artist, will kick off the Chevrolet Music Series on Friday, August 25 with a 1:00 p.m. performance at Chevy Court. Mary’s star rose in 2012 when she got a call from a friend who was working with fellow artists Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. The duo had written a song, but they needed a chorus—and that’s where Mary stepped in. She famously wrote the hook to (and served as the featured vocalist on) “Same Love” from her perspective, identifying as a Christian and a lesbian. The song earned two Grammy nominations in 2014 and culminated with an epic performance, featuring a mass wedding officiated by Queen Latifah and an unforgettable duet by Mary Lambert and Madonna. Mary also experienced viral success with “She Keeps Me Warm” followed by “Secrets,” which climbed to Number 1 on the Billboard Dance charts.

George Thorogood and the Destroyers are bringing their “Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock” Tour to the Great New York State Fair. Recognized for massive hits including “I Drink Alone,” “Gear Jammer,” and their biggest anthem, “Bad to the Bone,” the rockers are also known for reinventing blues, country and R&B songs popularized by earlier icons including Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Hank Williams. This has resulted in a transcending stage presence, allowing the band to connect with fans of a vast age range.
After more than 8,000 performances and 15 million albums sold, George Thorogood admits he still gets a rush when he sees audiences for the first time. When asked recently to describe his favorite career moment, Thorogood said, “My highlight is when I step on that bandstand. The promoters invited us, the audience came to hear us, and we’re ready to rock. When the rush of that ends, I’ll stop. Until then, every night I play for people can be the biggest night of my life.”
Concerts at Suburban Park Stage are sponsored by Chevrolet and are free with admission to the Fair.

You may have rooted for this trio to win America’s Got Talent (AGT) last summer… Now, you can cheer them on while watching from Chevy Court! Chapel Hart is coming to the Great New York State Fair, set to perform at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 30 at Chevy Court.
In 17 seasons of AGT, Chapel Hart was only the second group to win the golden buzzer. The country trio dazzled judges and earned millions of fans after performing “You Can Have Him Jolene,” which was recognized as “International Song of the Year” in Scotland in 2021.
Known for their three-part harmonies, sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and their cousin, Trea Swindle, have sung together since they were children. Their sophomore album, “The Girls Are Back in Town,” delivers a blend of powerful ballads and music to dance to and has been recognized as “Album of the Year” at the British County Music Awards.
The trio was inducted into CMT’s Next Women of Country, which has helped to catapult the careers of Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBride and Gabby Barrett. Internationally known artists are taking note of Chapel Hart’s rising star too, as evidenced in Darius Rucker recruiting Chapel Hart to sing on his next album!
As always, all concerts in the Chevrolet Music Series are free with Fair admission.

Wickham Farms’ annual Sunflower Spectacular Festival invites you to explore the sheer beauty and colors of more than one hundred thousand sunflowers! Pick your own sunflowers, get lost in the giant (five-acre) corn maze, hop on a hayride through the vegetable fields and apple orchard, enjoy fresh donuts, test your aim with our high-powered apple cannons, or pick your own early-season apples. Along with fun in the flower fields, our Barnyard is open to all guests during Sunflower Spectacular. With more than 30 attractions, the Barnyard is the spot for interactive family fun. And don’t forget your camera!
