For the best experience, wear an apron or clothes that can handle a bit of mess and closed-toe sneakers. Students are encouraged to bring a knife they feel confident using. Every class ends with time to enjoy the dishes prepared together.

River Lynch LIVE at the LBC!
Singer songwriter River Lynch returns to Laurentide Beer Company for a solo set built around a clear message in his songs... stay true to yourself and become who you want to be. He began writing at seventeen in Rochester, NY, left college to dedicate himself to music, and made a pivotal purchase of a six string Rickenbacker guitar at a local music shop that helped shape his path. His sound draws from rock and roll, roots rock, blues, and Americana, blending bluesy, hook driven, vintage influences with fresh energy and earning comparisons to Tom Petty, The Black Keys, and Alabama Shakes. Coverage from EarToTheGroundMusic.com has noted that the music reaches beyond a typical rock outfit. Influenced by the 1950s through the 1970s yet intent on originality, his approach centers on strong songwriting, with a rock solid band when performing with The Spiritmakers. He released the debut EP There Goes the Heart in 2016 with bassist Schuyler Skuse and local Rochester musicians, a project that grew into River Lynch and The Spiritmakers. Since then they have independently issued six additional singles and performed across New York, the East Coast, and Canada, opening for Three Dog Night, Dave Mason, Rusted Root, The Blue Stones, Jesse Dayton, Carbon Leaf, and the Legendary Shack Shakers. There is no cover for this performance and reservations are not accepted. Seating is available on a first come basis.
