I love this event: The Bank of America TASTE OF SYRACUSE presented by P&C Foods. Again this year, I am honored to emcee the Syracuse New Times SAMMY Award’s Show on Friday evening. The music on the main stage will feature some of the best in our town. The afternoon line up: Grupo Pagan, Five To Life, OxBurg, Bobby Green, Lisa Gentile, Primtime and Dead Rose. The SAMMY AWARDS SHOW begins at 7:00 with special performances from Dave Novak, Sandy Bigtree, Roosevelt Dean, Mark Hoffmann,Larry Luttinger, Jerry Santy’s students (including Joe Whiting and Senator John Defrancisco!) and followed by a rockin’ performance by SimpleLife.   The show is free! Come and enjoy the Taste!
