The Fray formed in 2002 when high school friends Isaac Slade (lead vocalist and pianist) and Joe King (vocals, guitar) ran into one another in a Denver guitar shop. After adding Ben Wysocki (drums) and Dave Welsh (lead guitar), the band landed on a name by asking people to write down ideas on pieces of paper. The winning suggestion, The Fray, was selected randomly.
The band as we know them today burst onto the pop music scene in the mid-2000s with hits including “How to Save a Life,” You Found Me,” and of course, “Over My Head (Cable Car).” Following a successful second album in 2009, the band earned a spot on Billboards’ Artists of the Decade list.

The celebration will culminate with headlining performances from Brick and Dazz Band, two bands that formed in the late 1970s and produced a string of hits that we’re still singing along with today.

The fun kicks off at 12:00 p.m. with DJ Dretronix and continues until 10:00 p.m. Fairgoers can look forward to performances from regional bands, including Central New York favorites Brownskin Band, Trump Tight 315, and The Blacklites. In the afternoon, a presentation called Fallout From WAR, will feature a collaboration of musicians from around New York State, performing a blend of music originally written and performed by Eric Burdon and WAR. A full schedule is posted below.

Brick will take the Chevy Court stage around 6:45 p.m. Brick, based in Atlanta, is known for merging Disco and Jazz music to form “Dazz,” which is also the name of their most popular song. “Dazz” peaked at #3 on the Hot 100 music chart, climbed to #1 on the R&B chart, and landed at #7 on the Dance music chart. Then, Dazz Band, whose electrifying R&B, Funk and soulful ballads topped Pop and R&B music charts in the 1980s and 1990s, will perform around 8:15 p.m. at Chevy Court. They’re touring in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of their 1983 hit, “Joystick.” “Let it Whip,” “Swoop (I’m Yours),” “You are My Starship,” and “Let it All Blow” are also among their most popular songs. Originally established as Kinsman Dazz – a nod to the Cleveland restaurant where they were the house band – the band’s name evolved into Dazz Band in tribute to the music they became known for producing: Danceable Jazz.

Yung Gravy featuring bbno$ at the Great NYS Fair

Time: 8:00 PM
Host/Presenter: Great New York State Fair
Phone: 1-315-487-7711 or 1-800-475-FAIR
Two rappers who can credit the internet for helping to propel them to stardom are the latest additions to the 2023 Great New York State Fair’s musical line-up. Yung Gravy and special guest bbno$ (pronounced Baby No Money) will grace the Suburban Park Stage at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 3.

Yung Gravy’s moniker oozes “sauce,” and that’s what he tries to incorporate into the unique recipe he contributes to the rap genre. Gravy’s brand of rap blends catchy beats and clever rhymes with musical styles that harken back as far as the 1940s,1950s, and 1960s. He often samples Motown, Soul, and Funk. In his music, fans will recognize samples of “Mr. Sandman” by The Chordettes, “Careless Whisper” by George Michael, and, most recently, “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley, in his song “Betty (Get Money).”Yung Gravy often collaborates with bbno$. In fact, just last week, the pair announced that they will release their third collaboration, Baby Gravy 3, later this year. A new single from the project, “Goodness Gracious,” just dropped.

Host/Presenter: Great New York State Fair
Phone: 1-315-487-7711 or 1-800-475-FAIR
A band that formed in Rochester in 2010 – and has since toured the world – is coming home to New York State this summer. Joywave will bring their electric, alternative indie sounds to Chevy Court at 6:00 p.m. at the Great New York State Fair on Sunday, September 3.

The band started out back when lead vocalist, Daniel Ambruster, was writing and recording music in his parents’ basement. They gained traction with a series of online mixtapes that blended their original songs with material from other artists. The group’s debut studio album, How Do You Feel Now? peaked at #3 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Album chart, where their second album, Content, also cracked the Top 10. Most recently, Cleanse, features a series of songs that explore life in the early 2020s. Alternative music fans may also recognize Joywave from the 2014 hit, “Dangerous,” a collaboration with Big Data.

Phone: 1-315-487-7711 or 1-800-475-FAIR
With recognition from Billboard and Rolling Stone, Elvie Shane is a rising country star to watch. A 2023 iHeartRadio nominee for “Best New Country Artist of the Year,” Shane is set to play Suburban Park at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 3.

First breaking onto the scene with the Platinum-certified #1 single “My Boy” in 2020, Elvie Shane wears his heart on his sleeve through impactful lyrics and gritty, gracious vocal delivery.

Additionally, Elvie experienced success with his album Backslider (2021), featured on multiple “Best Of” lists, and has joined artists including Darius Rucker, Toby Keith, and Lady A on tour. More recently, Shane introduced new songs “Baptized” and “Forgotten Man.” Rolling Stone praised the latter, comparing the blue-collar anthem to something “Workin’ Man Blues” predecessor Merle Haggard would be proud of. On stage, Elvie Shane’s fusion of heartland rock and modern country presents itself as a mix of rebellious energy, purpose, and pride.

The country’s premier projection arts festival brings creators from around the globe as they converge on one small Upstate New York city to transform its downtown core into a visual spectacle unlike anything you’ve seen before. Using powerful projectors and 3D animation, we create the illusion that enormous structures are transforming as if by magic. City hall turns into a gingerbread house. The courthouse becomes Stonehenge. The light overpowers the architecture and the effect seems real.

Going to LUMA is like visiting some giant outdoor art gallery where the paintings tower over you 6 stories high. Enjoy it in any order you choose at whatever pace you like. You’ll find projection mapping, light installations, immersive live performance and something new every year. Far more than just spectacle, LUMA is dedicated to the fine art of storytelling–through projection mapping and many other forms of tech-driven artistry. What experiences can we share by transforming the urban landscape into an animated canvas? Help us find out.

Most features at LUMA are completely free to the public. You can just head for Downtown Binghamton and enjoy the show. A few features require tickets that you can buy online in advance.

Experience amazing carvings, a stunning Jack-O'-Lantern tunnel and playful animations come to life right before your eyes - all at a new location in Schenectady, NY!
