With more than 10 dates selling out during the first day of public on sales, Eric Church has responded to the overwhelming demand by adding eight new shows to his eagerly-anticipated The Outsiders Revival Tour spanning the U.S. and Canada this summer. He will make a stop in Saratoga Springs at SPAC in August with Lainey Wilson and The Red Clay Strays.
Eric Church’s most recent critically acclaimed and chart-topping project, his Heart & Soul triple album, is the result of a marathon session during which he spent nearly a month writing and recording a song per day while sequestered in rural North Carolina. The album features his latest Gold-certified No. 1 “Hell of a View” and recent Top 5 hit “Heart On Fire” as well as his latest single, “Doing Life With Me.”
Joining “The Chief” across varying dates are Whiskey Myers, Cody Jinks, Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde, Koe Wetzel, Lainey Wilson, Midland, Parker McCollum, Travis Tritt, Elle King and Paul Cauthen, plus Jackson Dean, Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, Shane Smith & The Saints, Hailey Whitters, Ray Wylie Hubbard and The Red Clay Strays.
Other newly added dates include Charleston, SC, Toronto, ON Rogers, AR, Orange Beach, AL, George, WA, Atlanta, GA, and Charlotte, NC.
When I approach touring, I’m always inspired by a new experience, a new way to gather, to express ourselves sonically and visually. Whether it’s solo, in the round, double down; being able to bring a different perspective has always brought out our best creatively. Well, we have never done an outdoor summer tour. Never headlined amphitheaters. Never brought a summer experience to your town that featured artists we want to share the summer with. Until now. See you in the season of sunshine with some fellow outsiders that shine brightest when the sun goes down.
Tickets to all originally announced dates are on sale now, with added dates on sale next Friday, Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. local time (Rogers, Ark. at 9 a.m. local time) via Ticketmaster.com and presale access available to Church Choir members starting Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 10 a.m. local time (Rogers, Ark. at 9 a.m. local time).

The Binghamton Philharmonic has announced its Wallenberg Festival, a joint concert with the Binghamton Youth Symphony and Binghamton Community Orchestra, coming up this Saturday, January 28.
This Festival is in celebration of orchestra founders Fritz and Marianne Wallenberg, and their lasting legacy of symphonic music in the Southern Tier. The program will include a side-by-side performance of the Youth Symphony and Philharmonic through works by Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky. The performance is scheduled for Saturday, January 28 at 7:30pm at the Forum Theatre.
Founded by Fritz and Marianne Wallenberg in 1955 as the Binghamton Symphony and Choral Society, the Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra presents an annual series of classical, pops, and chamber music concerts in Downtown Binghamton and throughout Broome County. The professional musicians of the Philharmonic, represented by Local 380 of the American Federation of Musicians, hail from the Southern Tier, New York City, and surrounding states. Maestro Daniel Hege was appointed Music Director in 2018.
A Night Of Classics
The show will be conducted by Daniel Hege, Evan Meccarello, and Barry Peters. The Binghamton Youth Symphony will perform pieces by Antonín Dvořák and Franz von Suppè. The Binghamton Community Orchestra will follow up with more Dvořák and works by Johannes Brahms, while the Binghamton Philharmonic will perform music by Edvard Grieg. The night will conclude with a joint performance by the Binghamton Youth Symphony and the Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra.
All children 17 and under get in for free, courtesy of M&T Bank, Binghamton Philharmonic’s Classical Series Sponsor.
There will also be a Pre-concert Dinner to support the Philharmonic, held at the Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Binghamton. The dinner will be $35 per person and seating begins at 5pm the day of the show.
For tickets and more information, including Pre-concert dinner reservations, contact the Binghamton Philharmonic box office at 607-723-3931 or visit www.binghamtonphilharmonic.org.
The EPAC Rock Project has been bringing local musicians together with other performing artists who sing and dance, to create live rock shows with multi media at EPAC for many years now. EPAC Rock Project has featured such classic rock bands as The Beatles, Queen, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Metallica, and many others over the years.
EPAC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide an affordable and high quality venue to local, regional and touring performing artists, enabling them to present, develop, & improve their artistic efforts. For a quarter century, EPAC has renovated and operated out of the 105 year-old “Lyric Theater” (now the Robery Eckert Theater) in Endicott, just west of Binghamton.
This year’s EPAC Rock Project will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of EPAC by featuring the ‘Best of’ Elton John’s music. “I’m Still Standing” will feature the top hits from Elton John’s diverse collection, including ‘Funeral for a Friend’, Benny and the Jets’, ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’, ‘Your Song’, ‘Tiny Dancer’, ‘Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues’, ‘Honky Cat’, ‘Saturday Night’s Alright (for fighting)’, ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’, ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Levon’, ‘Don’t Let the Sun’, ‘Candle in the Wind’, ‘I’m Still Standing’, and others.
The live rock show brings together local musicians, singers and dancers performing these hit Elton John songs in front of Big Screen Projections with full stage lighting and sound. Reserved Seating tickets are available to purchase through the EPAC Website, and/or the EPAC Box Office located at 102 Washington Ave. Endicott, NY. Tickets are $20 for Adults and $18 for Seniors (65+) and Children (12 & under).
The EPAC Rock Project runs from February 9–12, with performances on Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday at 3pm.
Opening up the show was Nashville-based recording artist Rich Ruth. A seasoned session musician and an ambient music making machine, it was this critically acclaimed up-and-comers first time passing through Albany. Captivating the audience early with dreamy, lush and psychedelic post-rock styled soundscapes, the band created a huge swirling sound layered with rich textures, soaring saxophone solos, syncopated drumming, droning synthesizers, reverb-drenched feedback and huge blues rock guitar peaks. Playing mostly songs from 2022 I Survived, It’s Over, an album written in the days after a devastating twister ravaged Ruth’s neighborhood, the set found a healthy balance between beauty and chaos. Backed on this tour by a talented group of friends and equally skilled musicians, each member of the group brought something unique to the table and the result was something palpable and potent and left the Lark Hall wanting more.
Circles began their set around 930pm, taking to the disco ball laden stage, resembling mid-1960s era Deadheads and Grateful Dead members. The five giant disco balls made the stage seem more full, as the notes the band produced were far greater than the sum of the members. Yet not a moment is wasted among these four – John Lee Shannon (guitar), Dan Horne (bass) Adam MacDougall (keys) and Mark Levy (drums) – as each sonic branch ventured off into another, connecting for a sound that filled in all available space.
The highlight of the night could be found anywhere, but “Language,” a track released in March 2022 featuring the harp of Mikaela Davis, stood out. This funky new disco number is a pure dance potion, consistently hit its mark, retreating before resurging towards an extended ending and then “Money’s No Option.” The 90+ minute set was better than two separate sets, so as not to interrupt the flow. Circles could have easily played another hour and lost few, if any of the dialed in crowd.
An encore of “One for Chuck” had a smooth-flowing Dead-heavy jam that give a hint of “NFA” but ended up falling into a soft rock smooth jazz vibe.
Circles Around the Sun – Lark Hall, Albany – Friday, January 20, 2023
Setlist: Scatlotta, Landline, Outerburrows, Babyman, Rouge > Language, Money, Away Team Encore: One for Chuck
Schenectady’s Empire State Youth Orchestra (ESYO) have announced that they’ve received a grant of $22,000 from the Van Norton Family Foundation, going towards the CHIME program.
Heather Manthey, Van Norton Family Foundation President and Co-Founder is driven by her mother’s benevolence. She says, “Our Foundation has a three-part mission: to support qualifying organizations that promote the interests of children, assist with the mental and physical health of individuals in our community, and advance the arts.” After researching ESYO, it wasn’t long before Manthey knew that she had found her perfect choice.
Founded in 1979, ESYO is a non-profit organization that is widely known as a premier music education/performance program for youth and has received three ASCAP awards.
The Empire State Youth Orchestra plans to use their stupendous gift to support their CHIME program. Creating Harmony Inspiring Musical Excellence was launched in 2015 to address fundamental inequities preventing universal access to high level music opportunities for youth. Today it is a free after-school program for grades k-12, that empowers youth to develop a strong sense of personal identity and community through ensemble-based music instruction.
The Amplify Our Voice initiative provides the youth of CHIME with a safe place to process deep emotion, explore shared experiences, and amplify their voices to the world. Through reflection, improvisation, and experimentation, the youth of CHIME create an original, multi-level composition in partnership with a guest arranger. This year’s theme, chosen by students, is “Stop Violence & Show Kindness,”. They will be collaborating with composer Adrian Gordon. The CHIME Proctors Orchestra recently performed Gordon’s piece “A Hero’s Journey.”
Currently, in support of their CHIME program, ESYO has received a total of $105,000 from regional and national Foundations. Funders, Rea Charitable Trust, Review Foundation, Carnegie Hall PlayUSA, Barry Alan Gold Memorial Fund,D’Addario Foundation, Henry M. Butzel Foundation, Seymour Fox Foundation and Price Chopper Golub Foundation have all made gracious donations. For more information, visit esyo.org.
Grammy award-winning artists Beck and Phoenix have announced a co-headline tour; Beck & Phoenix: Summer Odyssey. The tour will stop at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 9.
Eight-time Grammy-winning artist Beck and French band Phoenix announced their upcoming co-headline tour. Beck is a 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee, and his single “Loser” in 1994 catapulted him into the rock scene. No record sounds quite like the rest as he changes up his sound frequently. However, The New York Times noted “Though Beck’s records through the years have tended toward maximalism, a kind of meticulous sonic gorgeousness, melody remains central to his art.”
Phoenix is a critically-acclaimed band from France and has been nominated twice for Grammy awards, winning “Best Alternative Album” in 2010 for their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. They also won “Best Rock Album” in 2014 for Bankrupt! at the French Victoires de La Musique. They have also headlined festivals including Coachella, Rock en Seine, and Governors Ball, and have sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl.
The 19-city run tour will hit Madison Square Garden on Sept. 9, with special guest Weyes Blood. Tickets go on sale starting on Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. here.

moe. performed a scorching show at The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ on their Winter Tour. Fans and band mates were happy to see Chuck Garvey back in action, sounding good as ever. Chuck mentioned how grateful he was to be back up on the stage playing with the band.
The band opened with a classic, catchy, full of camel lights “Happy Hour Hero.” (Luckily this was the song stuck in my head all day.) With Nate Wilson on keyboards the entire show, later in the first set there was a well-jammed out “Nebraska” and a band debut of “Long Time Gone” by Crosby, Stills, Nash in honor of the recent passing of David Crosby.
The second set opened up with a psychedelic heavy “Fearless,” a Pink Floyd cover, which gave way to another cover, this time of progressive rock band, Yes, with “Starship Trooper.” The second set proved to be energy filled and jam heavy, ending with “Yodelittle” > “Rebubula” > “Buster” before swinging back into “Rebubla.” moe. wrapped up the show with an epic “Seat of My Pants”
