Ray LaMontagne at Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater | September 8, 2026

Ray LaMontagne is one of those performers who sounds best in a room with actual walls — where the music has somewhere to go instead of disappearing into the night air. The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater in downtown Syracuse is exactly that kind of room. If you have been waiting for the right opportunity to see him, this is it: Tuesday, September 8, doors at 7:00 PM.

About Ray LaMontagne

LaMontagne has been making folk and singer-songwriter music for over two decades, and he is one of the rare artists from that world who has kept getting more interesting rather than more predictable. His 2024 album Long Way Home is the kind of record you put on when you want the rest of the noise to stop — quiet and patient in a way that rewards your full attention.

This year also brought the 20th anniversary remaster of Trouble, his debut, reissued in 2025 with upgraded packaging and limited signed editions. Hearing those songs now, two decades on from when they first landed, is a different experience than it was in 2004.

The 2026 world tour has been exceptional. He played the Royal Albert Hall in London in June, Red Rocks in August, and back-to-back nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville — a run of rooms that tells you everything about where he sits as a live artist. The Syracuse date lands two days after Louisville Palace on September 6, with the tour continuing into Pennsylvania the following day.

The Venue

The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater is part of the Oncenter complex in downtown Syracuse — a dedicated performing arts theater that handles acoustic music the way it is meant to be handled. It is the kind of room LaMontagne’s sound was built for. Plan to arrive settled and early; this is not a show to spend half of from the lobby.
