The City of Dunkirk’s “Music at the Point Sunset” concert series will be held today from 6 to 8 p.m., in conjunction with DTO. The event, held at Point Gratiot Park, is sponsored by Southern Tier Environment for Living, Inc. (STEL), Raleigh Insurance and DFT Communications.
DTO plays music for every occasion from the past 60 years, but seasons it uniquely with music from artists who have covered every song they’ve heard on the radio in the past 50 years.
Band members are Roger Chagnon III (lead vocals, guitar, bass) and Brian Hornbuckle (keyboards) of Westfield, Jonathan Mack (drums, percussion, vocals) and Leslie Will (vocals) of Fredonia, and Chris Tiberio (bass, guitar, vocals) of Lakewood.
Upcoming performance dates/bands include: August 28th, Furious George, September 4th, Bill Ward (rescheduled date).
Visitors are encouraged to bring chairs, snacks and beverages and enjoy the sunset and music at Point Gratiot.
The City has partnered with several local restaurants to offer special Wednesday dinner pack menus for grab-and-go meals, with some offering delivery to the park. Restaurants participating in this promotion include Demetri’s on the Lake, House of Birria, Lena’s Pizza, Lil Ginger’s Deli, Mary’s Deli, Off The Hook, P*Dubs, Pizza Village, Spike Dailey’s Irish Pub, Taqueria Mexicana at the Point and The Spot on the Lake.
