This week we are turning the musical spotlight on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Duane Eddy and giving a listen to ten of his great songs.
As you may know, Eddy was born in Corning and spent his first thirteen years living in our region. And on Saturday, The Corning Duane Eddy Circle & friends will unveil a historic marker to celebrate the man, his music and his connection to our region.
Here are the details:
What: The unveiling of the new Duane Eddy historic marker. The ceremony will be attended by Duane Eddy’s widow Deed, other family members and several local dignitaries and is open to the public – everyone is welcome!
Where: Riverfront/Centennial Park in Corning, across the street from the clock tower in Centerway Square, just off of East Tioga Ave., at the edge of the walk that leads over the Centerway Walking Bridge.
When: Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.
