Location: CCUMC, 3474 Stiles Road Syracuse, New York 13209 Opening set: Ed Morgan & Mark Digennaro, 6:30 pm Main Presenter: Sydney Irving, 7:00 pm In some ways, singer-songwriter-guitarist Sydney Irving experienced one uplifting experience that came out of the recent Covid19 pandemic. “It first happened when I was a junior in high school, and like so many other kids my age, I had to learn to survive in the isolated, sheltered environment of my parent’s home,” says Irving. “What kept me sane was my ability to focus on my music. I spent most of my time playing guitar and writing songs in my room. Many of the songs that appear on Unfashioned Creatures, grew out of that musically creative period in my life.” Whether performing before thousands at outdoor festivals or intimate crowds at a winery Irving remains committed to putting on the best performance possible. “Sometimes when I get up on a stage, I question my confidence. Then, I realize I have to get up there and give people a show,” says Irving, who started doing live gigs at the age of 14. Sydney has shared the stage with notable acts such as: Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, Martina McBride, Jesse McCartney, Gavin DeGraw, and Thompson Square. One unforgettable highlight of her stage career was joining Barns Courtney during his concert, where they performed his hit song “You & I” together. Another major moment came in 2024 when Sydney was invited to perform onstage with country rockers Midland during their concert in Verona, NY. Their performance of “14 Gears” went viral, garnering over 80,000 views across social media and introducing her to an even wider audience. Her electrifying performances and magnetic stage presence have earned her a dedicated following mainly in Central New York State, however, she is now poised for international recognition. Her weekly Tuesday night live podcast called “A-SIDES, B-SIDES and COVERS,” on Instagram and Facebook has attained a huge audience, including a loyal legion of fans from South America, Europe, and throughout the United States and Canada. She is also the youngest artist to be endorsed by Breedlove Guitars. Sydney Irving's new album, "Unfashioned Creatures" is out now. Listen everywhere.
