With the release of her two highly anticipated singles and a hot lakeside show on the local calendar, this summer season sizzles for songwriter Cassandra Kubinski. 

On the heels of “The Saratoga Sessions” EP release and several sold-out shows last winter, Cassandra Kubinski gave an unforgettable opening performance at the Eddies Regional Music Awards at Proctor’s Theater in April, then rocked women’s worlds with the May release of the Mother’s Day tribute song, To Her. 

Now, she’s following it up with the release of a country-pop crooner, Comes Down to You, a song that contemplates the complexities of commitment. After performances in NYC and California in June, Kubinski returns to the area for the Lake George Summer Fest Concert Series at the Shepard Park Amphitheatre on July 10th, from 7pm-8:30pm.

“It’s going to be a beautiful, fun, elevating night out on the lake,” she said, of the show featuring a mix of folksy, pop, and jazz songs from her current and past catalog (including choice covers from musicians Billy Joel and Fleetwood Mac). 

Late Summer is slated to see a new version of Kubinski’s darkly cinematic 2021 hit Burn It Down, this time with Sawyer Fredericks, winner of NBC’s 8th Season of The Voice. 

By working with producer and Caffe Lena Board Chair Emeritus James Mastrianni, the song has been stripped down to its roots and reimagined as a gritty, soulfully-smoldering, acoustic duet. 

“Sawyer is a hardworking independent voice in the Capital Region. He was amazing to work with and our chemistry was great; easy and fun,” said Kubinski. 

Fredricks is the latest in a line of luminaries to have collaborated with Cassandra Kubinski, including innovative artists like the Goo Goo Dolls, Chris Botti, and the 10,000 Maniacs. She has also had her songs in many international TV programs including Lifetime’s “Dance Moms,” NBC’s “Real Housewives,” and ESPN’s “First Take.”
