The Erie Canal in the Rochester region is now being watered and should be full and ready for limited recreational use next week, a state Canal Corporation spokesperson said Friday.

“That valves have been opened and over the next couple of days you will start to see the water rise and fill to its normal summer navigation level,” the spokesperson, Shane Mahar, said. “If someone wanted to go out and row or kayak or take their small boat out, the water will be there for their use.”

While the shutdown is not allowing Sulaco to perform live, it's not stopping them from performing together. All five members got together - virtually - for this unreleased song, "Cutup," performed for HomeStage!

Two episodes from WXXI’s local music series "OnStage" will be re-broadcast over the next two Sundays in recognition of two local musicians who passed away in recent weeks, John Cole and Darick Campbell.

WXXI has been informed by RTDNA, the Radio Television Digital News Association, that it is a regional winner in this year’s Edward R. Murrow Awards.

Darick Campbell, one of the trio of brothers who made up the scintillating Rochester sacred-steel band The Campbell Brothers, has died.

The band announced the news Monday morning on Facebook that Campbell had passed away in Atlanta, where he lived. No cause of death was given.

Together with his older brothers Chuck and Phillip, and his nephew Carlton, The Campbell Brothers emerged from the closeted world of their church to take their sound across the United States, Europe, Africa and even China.
