The AHN Floating Stage 2019

This was the stage in Mayville prior to the concert season last summer.  This year we have witnessed a different stage appearance after it arrived from its winter home.  A stage with only a large patriotic banner depicting an American Eagle and the words, GOD BLESS AMERICA.

The AHN Floating Stage 2020

Many bands have walked onto this stage through the years so if this stage could talk it would be heard to proudly say .. bringing the arts to the people has been my pleasure.

The Chautauqua Lake Pops plans to return in 2021 with many of the same bands scheduled to have appeared in 2020 on the .. stage that floats.

It was a hard pill to swallow not seeing the Pops in 2020.  And so I believe the song that best describes my feelings and the feelings of others is by Chicago .. You're a Hard Habit to Break.  We heard this song last summer and for many summers in Bemus Point by Brass Transit. A group of talented and accomplished award winning musicians formed in 2008 who pay tribute to Chicago.  

Ian Jutsun, lead vocals

I never thought the lyrics of this song would have so much meaning this summer and in 2018 when the Pops spent that year looking for a new location on the lake.

Q: What happens when 8 in-demand musicians and signers gather together out of a common love for one of the most successful pop/rock groups of all time?

A: Brass Transit .. a dynamic, crowd-pleasing, studio-tight powerhouse and the world's foremost Chicago tribute!  This group pays tribute to the decades-long and multi-platinum songbook of Chicago! 

Be Safe.   See you in 2021.

Make It Mayville!

The bands hometown is Toronto,Canada.  The Absolute Journey tribute is the most traveled Journey tribute band in the world entertaining thousands!

Formed in Toronto, Canada in early 2014  the quintet proposes a faithful reproduction of the Steve Perry era of the San Francisco act enriched with audience interactivity, projections, backdrops and true-to-the-original costume changes. AJT doesn’t aim to be a plain carbon copy of the real thing: every effort on stage, from singing and playing to the moves is so natural and heartfelt that it captivates even the most skeptical critic. The band operates internationally between North America, Central America and South America.

Your journey starts with lead vocalist, Riccardo Curzi!

Riccardo always felt the call to music as something essential in his life. Since he was 18 he has been honing his technical and expressive vocal skills to match the perfection of his masters: Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell, Bobby Kimball, Eric Martin, Bruce Dickinson and many others. Hungry for live performances and driven by a lifetime commitment to music he is finally putting his experience into action by paying tribute to .. Journey.  Riccardo's vocal talents are one of the closest voices you'll ever hear compared to Steve Perry, lead vocalist with Journey!

After watching an Absolute Journey tribute concert, you will feel like you have just left an actual Journey concert!  "Our goal is to leave a lasting impression with our audiences."  Seeing is believing!

Absolute Journey was the first band to appear on the Allegheny Health Network Floating Stage in Mayville NY on June 29, 2019.  They would have appeared this summer on July 18.

Hometown:  Hainesport New Jersey

Bob Seger was never the LA type:  Born and raised in Michigan, he remained rooted in the Detroit area and built a reputation as a blue collar rock star with a Midwest sensibility.  When he got off the road and hunkered down to record, he often did so at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama, which is even more distant (physically and culturally) from Los Angeles.  For the 1978  Stranger in Town album, he worked in Detroit and in Alabama, but went to LA to finish the album.  When he was there, he rented a house in the Hollywood Hills, where he could see the bright lights of the big city. 

The "Hollywood nights, Hollywood hills" idea came to him when he was driving in the area. When he went back to his rented house he saw a copy of Time magazine (March 6, 1978) with supermodel Cheryl Tiegs on the cover.  She fit the LA model type: blonde and skinny with a huge smile.  Her headline read: The All-American Model.

Using the chorus he came up with in the car, Seger started crafting a story about a guy from the Midwest who comes to Hollywood and meets his dream girl.  They go on whirlwind adventures, but it comes to a sudden end one morning when he wakes up alone.  He's left looking for the Hollywood Hills, wondering if he can ever go back home.

On the Stranger in Town album cover, the Hollywood Hills are in the background behind Seger.  The photo was taken on the lawn of the house he was renting!  

"Hollywood Nights -- Roll Me Away"

"The floating stage on Chautauqua Lake has always been that one summer gig the whole band looked forward to each visit. As a performer, you saw everyone on the lawn area having a great time and all the people out on the restaurant decks and floating bar enjoying the day.  Then you turn around and see all the boaters anchored together forming their own little islands and ready to invite you onboard to share their bounty.  The sponsor's pontoon boat (Chill Lounge) always left the welcome mat out for the band. The Bemus Bay Pops was truly a hidden gem in New York State and it seems like everyone liked it that way."

Rick Murphy, lead vocalist with Hollywood Nights


Today, August 16 .. Hollywood Nights would have appeared on the floating stage.
