Tickets | The Trews – Full Band Acoustic 2023 | Clayton Opera House
**This event is standing room only in the performance hall orchestra with a bar (cash and debit cards accepted). Balcony side and center seating is available.

The achievements of rock ‘n’ roll heavyweights The Trews are many and mighty, highlighted by multiple radio hits drawn from seven critically acclaimed studio albums plus several EPs, a pair of live records, and a retrospective. Among the most prolific, electrifying, and innovative bands on the planet, The Trews — singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek, drummer Chris Gormley, and keyboardist Jeff Heisholt — have shared stages with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Weezer, Bruce Springsteen to Rich Robinson, the latter collaboration culminating in three blazing tracks on the band’s latest, The Wanderer, cut in Nashville with the onetime Black Crowes guitarist. Amid the global pandemic, which halted both the Nashville sessions and tour plans for 2018’s epic Civilianaires album, The Trews completed The Wanderer at home in Canada with producers Derek Hoffman and Eric Ratz, emerging with their fiercest and most accomplished set of songs to date, and a heck of backstory to boot.

Time for the Autos on the River, Vintage & Classic automobile show, in Cape Vincent!

The time and place are the same as year’s past, we’re just changing it up a bit to make it more family-friendly and welcoming.

Join us for a Boston-qualifying Marathon and Half Marathon through the scenic lake-side village of Sackets Harbor and the surrounding area. This is an out-and-back course with the START and FINISH of both races on Pike Road along the Madison Barracks Polo Field in Sackets Harbor, NY. You will enjoy many of your miles along Lake Ontario before heading out to some beautiful country roads. Because the views along the lake are so awesome, you will run lakeside again, through the village, with a magnificent finish back at the Polo Field.
