Catch Jefferson Starship At Tioga Downs, Supporting Local Veteran

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this year seems to have an unusual amount of major acts throughout all genres out on tour. And that's a good thing!

Some acts are on their last tour (or so they say), so this year is a good time to catch a live show before that opportunity has sailed.

Locally and regionally, we have plenty of music acts to choose from on every professional level, from local bands to top acts. Check out some of the offerings with venues, dates, and acts listed HERE. Keep in mind, it's an ever-changing list.

One of the latest additions to concerts in our region is from Tioga Downs Casino Resort.

The venue has just announced that legendary rock band Jefferson Starship will be making a stop on the Tioga Downs stage Thursday, August 20, 2026. And this will be a special benefit concert.

Tioga Downs notes that tickets are just $20, and 100% of ticket sales will benefit the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group. This group is local and is dedicated to supporting veterans and their families.

Tioga Downs owner Jeff Gural and his wife, Paula, have pledged to personally match all ticket sales, and that means the total donation to the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group will double, as they continue working with our local veterans.

We’re honored to host an iconic group like Jefferson Starship while supporting the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group. This event is not only a great night of entertainment, but a meaningful way for our guests and community to give back to those who have served. - Tioga Downs Owner, Jeff Gural

Jefferson Starship has produced several hits, including “Miracles,” “Jane,” and “Find Your Way Back”. Tickets are now on sale. For tickets and other information, including upcoming concerts, visit the Tioga Downs Casino Resort website.

Did Anyone Watch These TV Shows in the 1980s and 1990s?

While you might think “watching while distracted” is a modern habit, even back in the day the TV was just… there, humming along while you did other things. These were the shows that weren’t exactly “must-see TV,” more like “might-see TV” — part of the culture, but you had to wonder: who was actually watching?
