  • moe. to Return to Capitol Theatre This December

    After a brief break this fall, moe. will return to the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, for a 2-night run December 9-10 to finish out their tour.

    moe. is a one-of-a-kind band that has never been easily categorized. Their sonic adventurousness and tongue-in-cheek humor are distinctly and undeniably their own. Praised by American Songwriter for their “mind-bending musicality,” moe. is treasured for their mesmerizing musical synergy, unfettered showmanship, and smart, resonant songcraft.

    The genre-blurring band, moe. is what it is today because of Al Schnier (guitar/vocals), Chuck Garvey (guitar/vocals), Rob Derhak (bass/vocals), Jim Loughlin (percussion/vibes), Vinnie Amico (drums), and Nate Wilson (keys).

    This powerful group of musicians leads to positive reviews, especially after Chuck’s recovery from a stroke, and the addition of Nate Wilson on the keys, moe.’s resurgence has been remarkable for all fans to watch.

    On top of their live performances, moe. also recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of Tin Cans and Car Tires with a special 2x Sky Blue vinyl reissue. On top of the original album tracks, the collector’s item also features live renditions of beloved songs including “Stranger Than Fiction,” “Nebraska,” and “Letter Home.”

  • Comedy-Bluegrass Show “FOIA Love” Makes Troy Debut

    FOIA Love: A Comedy and Bluegrass Show About Public Records, is making its one-night Troy debut on October 22 at the Arts Center of the Capital Region. The show is a comedy and music performance, with all humor inspired by actual public documents, such as FCC complaints about Big Bang Theory being too violent, FBI profiles of sports stars, and misguided visa rejections.

    Foia Love

    The show’s musical performances feature Grammy-nominee Tristan Scroggins, Martha McDonnell (Broadway’s Girl From the North Country), and BB Bowness (winner of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize). The show was written by Curtis Raye, who spent eight years working in Washington D.C. and on Iowa’s presidential caucus. This gave his access to observe the inherent comedy in public records, spanning school board meetings and court testimony, to real White House menus.

    Tristan Scroggins was recently featured on the Grammy-nominated The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project, Vol. 1. A native of Albequerque and Denver, he is now based in the historical music city of Nashville, where he is a leading voice of bluegrass and mandolin music.

    FOIA Love has had successful shows at landmark spots across the country, from Los Angeles’s UCB Theater, to the Newseum in Washington, D.C. Performers will read from real, unintentionally funny public records, as elite musical talents add their skill to tunes inspired by topics revealed in the documents.

    FOIA Love: A Comedy and Bluegrass Show About Public Records will be on October 22, 2023 at 6pm at the Arts Center of the Capital Region, located at 265 River St, Troy, NY 12180.

    Tickets start at $25 and are available at foialove.com. For questions or inquiries contact foiacomedy@gmail.com.

  • Disney Jazz Tribute “When You Wish Upon A Star” To Play Corning Museum of Glass this October

    When You Wish Upon a Star – A Jazz Tribute to 100 Years of Disney is coming to Corning’s Museum of Glass on October 28 as part of their upcoming national tour. The tour will also make a stop at Newark, NJ’s Victoria Theatre at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.

    The show features musical direction by Sean Mason and the brand new house band of The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, as well as Kim Nalley and Sasha Dobson as vocalists.

    When You Wish Upon A Star - A Jazz Tribute to 100 Years of Disney

    Director Sean Mason leads the touring show, as one of the premier talents of his generation. Mason has performed and toured with jazz legends including Branford Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, and Herlin Riley, and as a recent Julliard graduate, he is rolling out his upcoming debut album The Southern Suite. As a native North-Carolinan turned New Yorker, the record explores his southern roots from his current vantage point at the heart of the NYC music scene.

    Philanthropist and vocalist Kim Nalley will join the show, boasting a 3½ octave range and stunning performances. As the “Most Influential African American in the Bay Area,” Nalley has performed with greats such as Rhoda Scott, David “Fathead” Newman, and the San Francisco Symphony. In addition to Nalley, Sasha Dobson will join the show on vocals. A critically acclaimed performer, she is one-third of the hit triop Puss n’ Boots, alongside Catherine Popper and Norah Jones. 

    Together with band members Ahmad Johnson on drums, Corentin Le Hir on bass, Alicyn Yaffee on guitar and Anthony Hervey on trumpet, the musicians will bring the jazz arrangements of Disney’s popular soundtracks to the stage on the nationwide tour this fall.

    As shown in their vast collection of animated feature film soundtracks, Disney has always had an affinity for jazz music. In 2009, Disney released an album of reimagined songs based on their soundtrack catalog. With over 600 songs to choose from, the album features some of the most talented contemporary jazz stars of the age, as well as rising up-and-comers. This fall, the new generation of emerging talent will perform the live touring version, titled When You Wish Upon a Star – A Jazz Tribute to 100 Years of Disney.

    Although not associated with Disney, When You Wish Upon A Star will feature fan favorite tunes from iconic movies such as Snow White, Lady and the Tramp, Mary Poppins, and Toy Story. The reimagined songs have been arranged and recorded by Disney music fans such as  Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and Dianne Reeves. 

    The touring band personnel is Sean Mason (piano, bandleader), Kim Nalley (vocals), Sasha Dobson (vocals), Ahmad Johnson (drums), Corentin Le Hir (bass), Alicyn Yaffee (guitar), and Anthony Hervey (trumpet).

  • Ladytron arrives in NYC this week at Irving Plaza

    Electronic pop band Ladytron has announced their Fall Tour, revealing their first pit stop at Irving Plaza on September 20th.

    Ladytron irving plaza

    The band formed in Liverpool, England in 1999 with members including vocalists Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo, electric guitarist Daniel Hunt and synthesizer Reuben Wu.

    Ladytron blends sounds of electronic pop, new wave, distorted chimes and hallucinogenic soundscapes, exploring voices and sound that inhabit a dreamy optimistic feel. The tour celebrates the most recent album release Time’s Arrow with ten songs and video release of top hit “Misery Remember Me”. The song has flourished among the electro pop community and encapsulates the theme that defines Time’s Arrow. The focus of the album balances between experimental sounds and pop structures.

    Helen explains, “we must embrace the now, but always allow ourselves to dream. ‘Misery Remember Me’ encapsulates this ethos.”

    Ladytron continues to push boundaries among the music scene while using conceptual space and time to achieve their conceit of electronic music. Irving Plaza welcomes Ladytron this Wednesday opening doors at 7:00pm, for ticket info visit here

  • The Blues Project to Perform at Caffe Lena This October

    The Blues Project, a band first formed in the mid 60s, will be performing in Saratoga Springs on Oct 8 at Caffe Lena. With the eclectic experiences of each band member, all with different backgrounds and history, it’s sure to be an experience audience members won’t forget.

    The Blues Project poster

    The Blues Project was formed in the mid-’60s in Greenwich Village by guitarists Danny Kalb and Steve Katz, flutist/bassist Andy Kulberg, drummer Roy Blumenfeld, and singer Tommy Flanders. Al Kooper joined later in his early twenties after sitting in on the band’s Columbia Records audition (though they ended up signing to Verve).

    The eclectic résumés of the musicians– folk, jazz, blues, and rock backgrounds– reflected their choice of material. While they did sing covers, they also sang the group’s own originals. These original songs were typically penned by Kooper, who had already built songwriting credentials as the co-writer of Gary Lewis’ huge smash hit “The Diamond Ring,” as well as his contributions to Bob Dylan‘s mid-’60s records.

    After the release of their debut live album, they recorded their second album Projections in the fall of 1966. Projections is a good reflection of their eclectic group, as the album combines blues, R&B, jazz, psychedelia, and folk-rock.

    …we’re not reviving the blues, we’re looking to interpret what’s happening today.

    Danny Kalb (guitarist), 1966

    Soon after Projections‘ release, Kooper and Katz left the band, and in 1968 they joined forces to form their own: Blood, Sweat & Tears. Kooper led the band on its first album Child Is Father to the Man, but he did not take part in any releases after that. Later, Kooper– then a producer for Columbia Records– recorded with Blumenfield, Stephen Stills, and Harvey Brooks for the album entitled Super Session. Katz remained with Blood, Sweat & Tears until the 1970s, and went on to produce Lou Reed’s best-selling and still-influential live LP Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal.

    The Blues Project reformed briefly in the early ’70s with a modified lineup, releasing three further albums: Lazarus, Blues Project, The Original Blues Project Reunion in Central Park. Once they were again disbanded, Blumenfeld formed Seatrain and in the 2000s performed with former Country Joe & the FIsh member, Barry Melton.

    The original Blues Project disbanded one final time in the 90s, but realizing they still had a passionate fan base who cared about the band and its music, Katz and Blumenfeld decided to give it another go in 2021.

    Fast forward to 2023, and The Blues Project is alive and well, with Blumenfeld leading a powerful new lineup including three new talented members: Chris Morrison (lead guitar), Scott Petito (bass), and Ken Clark (keyboards/vocals).

    Catch them at Caffè Lena on October 8, from 7-9PM. Doors open promptly at 6:30pm.

  • Tedeschi Trucks Band Announces Garden Parties Special Guests

    The Tedeschi Trucks Band has announced the special guests joining them on their “Garden Parties” short run at TD Garden in Boston and Madison Square Garden.
