Syracuse,
NY – June 2022 / Newsmaker Alert: TLC, one of the most popular
female music groups of the 1990s – known for their signature pop, hip-hop,
R&B sound and songs about female empowerment – will take to the Chevy
Park Stage on the third day of the 2022
Great New York State Fair. Perhaps best known for their number-one
singles, “Creep,” “Waterfalls,” “Unpretty” and “No Scrubs,” the duo will
perform at the Chevy Park Stage on Friday, August 26 at 8 p.m. to
close out Pride Day.
“We are fortunate to have
this iconic duo join us as we celebrate Pride Day at the Great New York
State Fair,” said interim Fair Director Sean Hennessey. “As much as TLC
is known for their catchy songs, they’re also recognized for their fun,
funky style and confident attitude, which continues to influence and inspire
young women today. We are excited to welcome TLC to our diverse array of
performers spanning all musical genres.”
Hard-rocking outfit Tesla
makes its third appearance at the Great New York State Fair with a Chevy
Court concert at 6 p.m. Saturday, August 27. It’s the first
appearance since 2007 for the band behind hits including “Signs” and “Love
Song.”
State Fair interim Director
Sean
Hennessey said, “The weekend party begins with Tesla Saturday night.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen them but I’m sure it will feel like
