LILY DALE — Outdoor summer concert performances on the Lily Dale Assembly’s floating stage kick off Sunday at 5 p.m. when the Rustic Ramblers perform.

Admission is free and open to the public. Members of the Rustic Ramblers country music band include Howard Buck of Fredonia on lead guitar and vocals; David Bailey from Hartfield on drums and vocals; Jim (Frito) Lanphere of Fredonia on bass and vocals; and Gene Hilts from West Valley on steel guitar.

Lily Dale’s floating stage was built in the early 1990s and donated to the Lily Dale Assembly by the Lily Dale Fine Arts Council, a group of volunteers who planned and coordinated a summer concert series on the stage for more than a decade. The stage was rebuilt five years ago by Lily Dale Assembly and is anchored in Cassadaga Lake behind Lily Dale’s Leolyn Hotel.

“Lily Dale Assembly attracts a significant portion of its summer visitors from communities in the area,” said Susan Glasier, Lily Dale Assembly executive director. “This concert is our way of saying thank you to those communities.” There is no charge for admission; concertgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets or to come by boat.”

The event is paid for in part by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council.

Additional concerts scheduled for the summer include The Dixiecrats on Sunday, July 30, and members of the Jamestown Harmony Express on Sunday, Aug.13.
