There is a particular weight to the word “legacy” when John Fogerty uses it. In 2023, after decades of legal estrangement from his own compositions, Fogerty regained majority ownership of his song catalog’s worldwide publishing rights — compositions that have accumulated billions of streams and shaped the American rock canon without, for much of that time, putting a dollar in their author’s pocket. The Legacy Tour is less a victory lap than an act of reclamation. On Saturday, September 5, Fogerty brings that reclamation — alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Winwood — to CMAC in Canandaigua.
About John Fogerty & Steve Winwood
Fogerty’s place in the American songwriting canon needs little argument: “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” — three of which have individually surpassed one billion streams. A Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and Songwriters Hall of Fame member slated to receive the Johnny Mercer Award — the organization’s highest honor — in June 2026, Fogerty arrives in a mode of late-career elevation that his catalog has long warranted. The 2025 album Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, recorded with sons Shane and Tyler, delivers 20 newly recorded versions of his signature compositions — creative reset and statement of restored ownership in equal measure.
Winwood is no ordinary guest. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee himself — as a member of Traffic — his career runs from the Spencer Davis Group through Blind Faith and into a solo catalog that includes the Grammy-winning “Higher Love.” With more than 50 million records sold globally, he functions as a co-headliner in substance as well as billing. Each artist performs a full headlining-length set — effectively two complete concerts in a single evening.
About CMAC
The Constellation Brands–Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center sits on the grounds of Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, and at 15,000 capacity it is one of the larger outdoor amphitheaters in the Rochester / Finger Lakes region. The show is presented by The Bowery Presents. A September evening on that lawn, under an open Finger Lakes sky, is the kind of setting that repays the drive — though this particular bill hardly requires the scenery to make the case.
