There’s something about live music in the Finger Lakes that feels a little different.
Maybe it’s the way the sound carries across the hills.
Maybe it’s the way neighbors gather, chairs pulled close, laughter rising with the music.
Or maybe it’s because around Keuka Lake, music isn’t just entertainment — it’s memory.
And few bands capture that feeling quite like
The Decades Band.
True to their name, The Decades Band doesn’t just play songs — they take audiences on a musical journey through the soundtrack of our lives. From classic rock favorites to dance-floor hits that instantly transport you back in time, their shows are known for one thing above all else:
People don’t stay in their seats very long.
A Soundtrack of the Generations
One moment you’re hearing the unmistakable guitar riff of a classic rock anthem.
The next, the band shifts into a groove that has the whole room singing along.
That’s the magic of The Decades Band. Their setlists span multiple eras — the songs you grew up with, the songs you danced to, and the songs that instantly bring back the feeling of summer nights, road trips, and backyard parties.
It’s the kind of music that turns strangers into friends and friends into a chorus line on the dance floor.
And around Keuka Lake, those kind of moments feels right at home.
A Perfect Setting: Birdseye Hollow Farm and Distillery
Long before the first cocktail was poured at
Birdseye Hollow Farm and Distillery, the story of this special place began with maple trees.
Tucked into the hills outside Hammondsport, the land that is now Birdseye Hollow was originally rooted in a quieter craft — the careful harvesting of maple sap each spring. What started as a maple syrup farm became a labor of patience, tradition, and respect for the land. Sap collected from the farm’s own maple trees was slowly boiled down into rich, small-batch syrup using time-honored methods that generations of farmers have relied on for centuries.
That original craft still lives at the heart of everything Birdseye Hollow does today.
While the farm has evolved into a distillery, the spirit of maple season remains woven into its identity. In fact, the maple syrup produced on the property isn’t simply a nostalgic nod to the past — it plays an active role in the spirits crafted here. Carefully infused into select recipes, the syrup adds depth, warmth, and a distinctly Finger Lakes character to the distillery’s small-batch creations.
It’s a beautiful example of how tradition and innovation can share the same table.
At Birdseye Hollow, the philosophy is simple:
start with what the land provides and treat it with care.
That commitment to excellence and sustainability can be tasted in every glass. From the thoughtfully crafted spirits to the welcoming atmosphere of the tasting room, everything here reflects a respect for the farm’s roots and the natural landscape that surrounds it.
Step inside and you’ll find more than just a distillery.
You’ll find a place where friends gather after a long week, where visitors discover the charm of the Finger Lakes countryside, and where the pace slows down just enough to savor the moment. Warm wood tones, friendly conversation, and the quiet beauty of the surrounding hills make Birdseye Hollow feel less like a stop on the map and more like a place you’re happy to linger.
It’s the kind of setting where a Saturday afternoon of live music feels perfectly at home.
And in many ways, that’s exactly what Birdseye Hollow was meant to be — a gathering place where the traditions of the land continue to grow, one season at a time.
When you visit, you’re not just tasting craft spirits.
You’re experiencing the place where Birdseye Hollow began — and where its story continues to unfold.
Add live music to the mix and the experience becomes something that makes memories — the kind of night that feels very “Finger Lakes.”
Friends gather.
Glasses clink.
Music fills the room.
And suddenly the day stretches out in the best possible way.

Whether you come for the music, the spirits, the company, or a little bit of all three, it promises to be one of those evenings where the songs feel familiar, the laughter comes easily, and the night seems to fly by a little too quickly.
A Little Keuka Advice
Around here, the best times often start with a simple plan:
“Let’s go hear some music.”
So gather a few friends.
Put on your dancing shoes.
And come see what happens when great music meets great people in the hills around Keuka Lake.
Because chances are, by the end of the night, you’ll leave humming a song you haven’t thought about in years.
And that’s the kind of memory worth making.
