The Oswego Music Hall launches its 2023-2024 season with the Delaney Brothers Bluegrass Band on Saturday, Sept. 16. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. at the McCrobie Civic Center, 41 Lake St., Oswego.

Two-time SAMMY winners Delaney Brothers Bluegrass is one of CNY’s oldest and best-loved bluegrass bands. More than just bluegrass, their music is influenced by many other acoustic traditions such as country, folk, gospel and Celtic. From the smooth, warm vocals of lead singer John Delaney and tight harmonies with his son Jonathan, to Nick Piccininni’s smokin’ banjo and fiddle playing, fans are treated to a musical experience that sets toes to tapping!
