The Trend is performing today at Point Gratiot.

The City of Dunkirk’s Music at the Point Sunset Concert Series will host The Trend today from 6 to 8 p.m. at Point Gratiot. The event is sponsored by STEL.

The Trend was formed in Buffalo in 1966 and became a popular band at high school dances covering ’60s rock ‘n roll and rhythm and blues.

Of the original four members, two remain in the band – Dave Chiarmonte, lead singer and bass, and Dave Roach, guitar and vocals.

Joe Saeli, guitar and harmonica, joined the band in 1970. College, careers, etc., brought about a hiatus, but the band started again in earnest in the mid-80’s.

Recent additions include Bill Basil, our drummer, and Therese Vita, on vocals.

The remaining music schedule includes August 16 – Ion Sky and August 23 – Refuge.

Visitors are reminded to bring a chair, snacks and refreshments and enjoy the sunsets and music at Point Gratiot.
