  • The Park Theater Foundation Announces Adirondack Americana Music Series

    The Park Theater Foundation has announced a brand new music series, Adirondack Americana, which will take place at The Hub in Brant Lake, NY. The free series will run on Saturdays between 9/14 and 10/12, with all three shows beginning at 4 p.m.

    The Hub, located in the hamlet of Brant Lake, is a bike shop, restaurant and small show venue. Sitting right next to the beautiful Brant Lake, The Hub is an idyllic place to stop before hopping in a kayak or starting one of the many nearby hikes.

    Expanding on their annual Summer Series Concerts in Glens Falls, The Park Theater Foundation is now bringing operations 30 minutes north to The Hub with an all-new three-weekend series of free-to-the-public shows. Already a frequent venue for live music, The Hub is one of the best venues in the region to host a local series. All shows will run on Saturdays, beginning at 4 p.m., and will feature a mix of local and nationally acclaimed artists.

    “We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our free music series by introducing Adirondack Americana. The success of our Summer Series Concerts at the Crandall Park Bandshell is beyond anything I could have imagined. Over the last four years, we have welcomed a wide variety of acts to our area and helped to create a family-friendly environment where folks from near and far can enjoy quality entertainment for free! I am looking forward to extending the spirit of our Summer Series Concerts to our neighbors in Brant Lake this fall, and work alongside our friend and supporter, Drew Cappabianca. The expansion of the series allows us to take our programming to the northern parts of Warren County and provide an additional outlet for the performing arts in our region. Make your plans for Adirondack Americana – we can’t wait to see you in the fall!”

    Not much is better than a day in nature followed by some good eats and live music, so take some time to plan a day in Brant Lake and cap it off with dinner and a show at The Hub.

    2024 Adirondack Americana Lineup

    Saturday – 09/14 – Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band

    Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band challenge the traditional relationship between a songwriter and his band, with a fluidly rotating cast of top-notch players and a flair for experimentation that combine for a unique and mesmerizing live performance. They also won the Thomas Edison Capital Region Music Awards “Americana Artist of the Year” in 2023 and 2024.

    Most widely known by music fans as a member of the indie-Americana band Mipso, Terrell is well-accustomed to pushing the boundaries of traditional genres into new musical territory. Blue Cactus makes “Dream Country”: a blend of grit, glitz, groove, and twang that evokes a celestial soundscape of mid-century heartbreak and harkens comparisons as eclectic and iconic as Bobbie Gentry, Fleetwood Mac, and David Bowie.

    “A subtle but beautiful elegance… If you’ve ever wondered where country and Americana music is going, look no further. Blue Cactus is painting pictures of limitless possibility.”

    Saturday – 10/12 – Little Saints

    Based in Saratoga Springs, NY, Little Saints have crafted a style they call their own somewhere between Americana, indie-folk, and modern soul.

    “Spearheaded by songwriter Natalie Santini – her powerfully sultry voice alone would make anything sound soulful – [Little Saints has established themselves as] a force to be reckoned with.”
