Members Showcase Concert

Whenever there is a 5th Tuesday in a month, Golden Link hosts a Members Showcase Concert instead of the usual sing around.  It will be held at our new concert venue at the Greece Baptist Church, 1230 Long Pond Road.

Rather than in the main sanctuary, this concert will be held in the Parlor, which is the room at the rear of the church where the Golden Link sing arounds are being held.  There is ample parking at the rear. 

$5 Donation requested at the door, concert starts at 7:30pm.

Featured Member Performers:

Sam Snyder

Sam studied Music Therapy at Nazareth College where he fell in love with the guitar, singing and absorbing all varieties of music. He graduated in 2005 and shortly thereafter, he and his wife joined the Peace Corps where they spent nearly 5 years living and working in Cambodia. 

Upon returning from overseas, Sam joined a team of Music Therapists at Hochstein School of Music and Dance where he provided music therapy services to various community organizations, serving a wide range of populations. For the past 10 years, he has been the Music Therapist at Friendly Home where he works with seniors to enhance their quality of life through music. He has also spent the last 8 years playing concerts for senior care facilities in the greater Rochester area.

Mike Strobel

Mike Strobel’s been playing folk music since the early 1970s,  starting in the Buffalo area, where he grew up.  Moving to Rochester in the early 1980s got him engaged with Golden Link during that timeframe for many years. 

His talent level for performing folk music and his love of folk music history blossomed because of what he garnered from many great Golden Link talented songwriters and performers. Mike has performed throughout western and central  New York, Western Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada,  at a variety of venues and coffeehouses, with his own material and covers of Dylan through Wilco.  Don’t miss this one 

Dusty Road

Dusty Road’s roots are with a husband and wife team, Dan and Maureen Kuchta, who have been making music together for over 35 years. They’re joined by long time friend, Linda Becker, and more recently, bassman Doug Green. They hail from Dan & Maureen’s farm in the Hilton/Brockport area where they maintain a sound studio and hone their signature mix of Americana, Roots, and Folk.

 

A little different? You bet! Maureen plays clarinet, recorder, and sax, Dan is the singing guitarist, Linda adds silky harmonies along with percussion and delicate fingerpicking, and Doug rounds out the quartet with his rich vocals and fluid bass lines. Tight harmonies and an eclectic mix of songs create Dusty Road’s unique sound. They’ll as likely leave you tapping a toe as wiping a tear.
