EARLVILLE - Earlville Opera House (EOH) is thrilled to present the award-winning talents of three amazing Central New York musicians on Saturday, August 29th from 4-7pm in our newly expanded Courtyard. 

Celebrate the Summer Season with a Courtyard "SAMMYS©" Celebration! Join the fun with this all-acoustic show featuring Nate Gross, Jess Novak and Tom Rasely which includes a Q&A Clinic at the end.

The Syracuse Music Awards "SAMMYS©", much like the Grammy awards, is a special event that celebrates unique moments in music. More than anything, the event is best at bringing together a variety of different musicians in multiple genres, supporting each other on the red carpet and on the stage. The SAMMYS© have recognized the best musicians and albums from the Central New York music community since 1993. Winners are selected by an independent panel of music industry professionals and educators from around the country who review submissions based on their merit within their genre. EOH is excited to showcase three SAMMY© winners who have all played at EOH prior, and whom we can’t wait to have back! For more information, visit syracuseareamusic.com.

Join us for a delightful summer evening with some high-quality exceptional musicians in our newly expanded Courtyard! 

Earlville Opera House Arts Center is located at 18 East Main Street in the quaint Village of Earlville, NY. At EOH we believe accessibility and inclusion are critical to everything we do. Our historic Opera House has been upgraded to ensure accessibility throughout the building, including a hearing loop system in our 1892 theater provided by Hamilton Hearing LLC.

EOH events are made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with support from the Office of the Governor and NYS Legislature, and through the generosity of EOH members.

Special thanks to Sidney Federal Credit Union for sponsoring our 2026 Summer Courtyard Series.
