Your Guide to Live Music in Upstate New York

On this summer night she brought “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” and “Fist City” to Bonnie Castle in Alexandria Bay, a Thousand Islands resort about as far north as touring country stars ever ventured. For the North Country, getting a living legend of Lynn’s stature was a genuine event.
