John Fogerty & Steve Winwood at CMAC | September 5, 2026
When two artists share a bill called “The Legacy Tour,” the name either oversells what’s on stage or does exactly what it promises. In the case of John Fogerty and Steve Winwood — both still performing the work that defined rock’s most fertile era at a level that holds up to scrutiny — it lands as something close to understatement. This is not nostalgia deployed for a soft September night. This is two musicians with legitimate, hard-won claims on the American and British rock canon, on the same stage, on the same night.
About John Fogerty
Fogerty arrives as the former frontman and primary songwriter of Creedence Clearwater Revival, a band that compressed more American mythology into three-minute singles than most artists manage across entire careers. “Born on the Bayou,” “Proud Mary,” “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Run Through the Jungle” — the catalog runs like a greatest hits record that actually earns the designation. His live sets have remained CCR-heavy for good reason: the songs are indestructible, and audiences respond to them the way people respond to things they grew up believing in.
About Steve Winwood
Winwood brings something equally formidable and considerably underappreciated by audiences who know him primarily from his 1980s radio presence. A prodigy who was fronting the Spencer Davis Group as a teenager, he went on to build Traffic and Blind Faith before a solo run that produced “Higher Love” and “Back in the High Life Again.” The breadth of what he draws from on stage — “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys,” “Can’t Find My Way Home,” “Gimme Some Lovin'” — makes his sets feel less like a nostalgia tour and more like a survey of British rock’s most restless and inventive decade. Paired with Fogerty, the evening becomes a transatlantic argument for why some songs simply outlast the era that made them.
About CMAC
CMAC — the Constellation Brands Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center — is the right room for a bill of this scale. The outdoor amphitheater sits in the heart of the Rochester / Finger Lakes region in Canandaigua, and a clear September Saturday evening here is its own reason to make the drive. The Bowery Presents brings The Legacy Tour to this stage; the setting provides the rest of the argument.
