Here is the setup: Thursday evening in Chittenango, an outdoor summer show, tickets starting at twenty dollars, and a country-rock duo that spent last summer on amphitheater stages with Breaking Benjamin and Staind. Lakeview plays The Haven of the Wild on August 6 — doors at 6pm, music at 7 — and there are good reasons to plan on arriving early.
About Lakeview
Jesse Denaro and Luke Healy started out in Pittsburgh hardcore metal bands before eventually becoming roommates and deciding to write country songs together. That origin story is not a gimmick — it explains exactly why Lakeview sounds the way it does. They call their music “the arena rock of country”: gritty vocals, driving guitars, songs built for a crowd to sing back at the stage.
Their self-titled debut album dropped in September 2024 and includes “Home Team,” which has crossed 30 million streams. Ben Burnley personally invited them onto the Breaking Benjamin and Staind summer amphitheater tour in 2024, and they followed that with a spring 2025 arena run and a slot at Wacken Open Air in Germany. Now booked worldwide by United Talent Agency, they are running a national touring schedule deep into 2026. The Chittenango date falls between a New Hampshire show the night before and an Indiana festival a week later — this is not a band doing local dates anymore.
The Venue
The Haven of the Wild sits at 1863 New Boston Rd in Chittenango, in the heart of Central New York. It is an outdoor event venue, which means the experience lives and dies by the summer night — and an August evening in the region sets up nicely for it. General admission is standing room, but you can bring your own chair and set up behind the reserved sections. Chairs are also available for purchase at the door. Plan to arrive before 6pm if you want to find your spot before the crowd settles in.
Tickets
Tickets start at $20. Grab them through the link below — for a nationally touring act at an outdoor summer venue, that price point will not hold forever.
