Grupo Pagán Brings Latin Grooves to July 20
Monday Music Concert in Chaumont;
Annual BBQ ‘n’ Blues Event Set for July 26

The feel-good vibe of Latin rhythms will be in the air when Grupo Pagán takes the stage at the Lyme Performing Arts Council's next Monday Music on the Lake concert. The event takes place July 20 at 6:00 pm on the outdoor Hay Wagon Stage at the Chaumont Fire Hall on Route 12E. (Rain location: indoors at Chaumont Fire Hall.) Admission is free; donations are appreciated and will help fund the concert series. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from the Chaumont Volunteer Fire Department.

Led by bassist/vocalist Edgar Pagán, Grupo Pagán plays a high-octane blend of Latin rhythms, jazz fusion, funk swagger, and blues grit. The Syracuse-based band also features Adam Fisher (guitar), Rhonda Paduano (vocal/keys), Dave Chitamber (drums), and Dave Donley (percussion). With influences including Santana, Shakira, and Sade, they offer a high-energy, intoxicating brew of sound. Their latest album Power received a 2026 SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music) Award, a bronze award from the Global Music Awards, and was ranked #5 on the year-end Top World Music Chart for 2025.

The Monday Music on the Lake series will continue August 17 with the Big D Orchestra, a five-piece band from Central New York with a big sound they characterize as “funky, southern sweet-stuff.”

FLASHBACK - MONDAY JUNE 15th at the "Hay Wagon Stage" (next to Chaumont Firehall). 6 to 8 PM
Flashback will take you on a joyful journey back in time when songs were judged by one high standard: can you dance to it? Members include musicians from the North Country’s longest running rock band Double Axel—Alex Vangellow (drums/vocals), Rob Zolner (guitar/vocals), and Frank Johns, (bass)—from Potsdam, who have been electrifying stages and entertaining fans since 1971. Joining them will be Chaumont native Tas Cru (guitar/vocals); acclaimed musicians and longstanding members of the Tas Cru Band Chip Lamson (keyboards/vocals) and Mary Ann Casale (vocals); and Malone native Tim Savage, a first-call sax player.
