Another big musical night is in store for music lovers at the Sportsmen’s Tavern on Saturday, May 25, where the new band Too Yacht to Handle will present their debut performance from 9 to 11 p. m.

And to add even more to the occasion will be the opening act that will include two of the four members of SoleTurn that sold out the Sportsmen’s Tavern on March 23 and will be a part of a group of talented musicians that will be part of the show on May 25.

Zach Michaels and Vik Bhargava of SoleTurn

That opening act will include Matt Young on piano, Cave Wilson on drums, Vik Bhargava lead vocalist of SoleTurn, and SoleTurn’s Zachary Michael backing vocals and bass.  The presentation will include a set of ‘80s songs Unplugged, an acoustic set with all of the talented musicians taking part.

Scott Celani’s new band Too Yacht to Handle will headline the night and he invited other musicians to perform in what promises to be a terrific night of entertainment and another feather in the cap of the legendary Sportsmen’s Tavern on Amherst St., in Buffalo.

Scott Celani

Yacht music, as it is called,  has enjoyed a huge resurgence recently featuring soft rock and A&M Gold from the ‘70s and ‘80s, and Scott said that resurgence will be on full display at Sportsmen’s on May 25 in what is expected to be a packed house.

SoleTurn’s Vik Bhargava says he was honored and more than happy to be a part of the night with super talented Scott’s new group who have been making great music and selling out show after show for years.

The Scott Celani Band

Scott Celani, a Buffalo music Hall of Fame member, says “we’re really pumped up about this new project and we can’t wait to set sail with you, specializing in 70s gold and smooth yacht rock.”  May 25 at Sportsmen’s will be the night to set sail with the new group.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future. But unfortunately, most of the time, promises have fallen flat for the City of Niagara Falls, some succeeding but many turning out to be empty promises and major disappointments. At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
