Mayflower Hill of Northwest Pennsylvania, specializes in country, pop and rock music. They’ve been a band since 2012 and have opened for renowned acts such as Jo Dee Messina, Lo Cash, Dustin Lynch, and Rodney Adkins. Their self-titled debut album captures their unique country rock style.

The band just released a new album called Backroad Rendezvous.

Tequila Sunrise is Western New York’s newest Eagles Tribute. The band debuted in February 2023 to a sellout crowd at the legendary Sportsmen’s Tavern in Buffalo, NY.

Tequila Sunrise performs Eagles classics along with solo hits from Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh – with some added selections from the Eagles musical family (Poco, Jackson Browne, Bob Seger, etc.).

Founded by singer/guitarist Scott Celani, a 2021 inductee into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, the band also features lead guitarist/vocalist Dick Bauerle (Buffalo Music Hall of Fame), lead guitarist/vocalist Mike Runo (Buffalo Music Hall of Fame), keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Dick Gary Styn, bassist/vocalist Steve Truisi and drummer Cave Wilson.

Since their debut, Tequila Sunrise has been performing for wonderful audiences at theatres, concert halls and festivals throughout Western New York and beyond.

Guests are reminded to bring a chair. Food trucks and other vendors will be on site along with the city’s beverage tent. The Dunkirk Boardwalk Marketplace and surrounding harbor front businesses will also be open with food, drink and merchandise options.

Dunkirk event brochures are available from the boardwalk atrium, Dunkirk City Hall or on-line. Any questions or concerns during the event should be directed to the beverage tent staff members.
