CANANDAIGUA - Sunset Serenades, Ferris Hills at West Lake’s annual summer concert series, will kick off on Wednesday, July 13, with a performance by Paulsen, Baker & Friends, featuring Tim Chaapel.
The six-week, Wednesday evening Sunset Serenade series is free and open to the public, with free parking available. Those who attend are strongly encouraged to bring lawn chairs because seating is limited.

With guitar, banjo, fiddle, harmonica and mandolin, John Paulsen and Keith Baker have been performing together for more than 40 years and their “good time” music includes country, folk, rock and bluegrass, with a little comedy thrown in.
