You came to Plum Point Lodge for the lake, the wine, and a little room to breathe, but if you time it right, the Finger Lakes will hand you something extra: a night of great Finger Lakes music just down the road. Tucked between the vineyards and lakeside towns is one of Upstate New York's best-kept live-music scenes, and this spring there's a brand-new way to find your way into it called FLX Music, a free local guide to live music across the region.

Discover what's playing near you

From Plum Point Lodge you're a short drive from Geneva, Penn Yan, Watkins Glen, and the wineries lining Seneca Lake and Finger Lakes Music's brand new City Guides gather the live music, venues, and upcoming shows for each town into one easy place. Planning a day in Geneva or a tasting run toward Watkins Glen? Pull up that city's guide and see exactly who's playing while you're there.

Finger Lakes Music - New Features

The team just shipped a wave of new features this spring built to help you find your night out faster. A few of our favorites:

• City Guides — browse the music, venues, and upcoming shows for Geneva, Penn Yan, Watkins Glen, Canandaigua, and more, town by town.
• Festival Playlists — listen to a festival's entire lineup before you go, so you walk in knowing who to catch.
• Event Highlights — shows are tagged Popular, Free, New, or Festival, so the right night jumps out at you.
• Popularity signals — see what's genuinely generating buzz this week, based on what people are saving and sharing.
• Artist profiles — tap any act on a lineup to sample their music on the spot.
• Google Calendar sync — bookmark a show and it lands on your calendar automatically, start time and venue included.

Hear it before you go

The feature our guests love most is Festival Playlists. For each upcoming Finger Lakes festival, FLX Music builds a playlist of the artists on the bill, so you can listen before you go and arrive already knowing which sets you don't want to miss. Festival pages now show the full lineup with set times, and every name links straight to that artist's profile, where you can hear their music. With so many regional acts playing the wineries, breweries, and lakeside stages, it's a genuinely fun way to find a new favorite before you ever leave your room — and if you'd rather just explore who's making music around the lake, there's a dedicated Local Bands page for exactly that.

Build it into your trip

When you find a show you like, bookmark it to save it for later and if you connect Google Calendar, every show you bookmark drops onto your calendar automatically, sitting right alongside your dinner reservation and your tasting appointment. Saved a few before you connected? Linking your calendar backfills them all at once. A quick one-tap sign-in with Google or Facebook is all it takes. The Finger Lakes is at its best when you let it surprise you, so before your next outing, pull up flxmusic.co, see who's playing near Seneca Lake, and add a little live music to your stay. Come to the FInger Lakes and enjoy everything the region has to offer, including great music.
