Let’s face it, Bogie’s in Albany is best known for hardcore and heavy metal headbangin’ – not exactly a mecca for unplugged sounds. But that didn’t stop Delirium Entertainment from presenting a recent acoustic music showcase featuring an array of Local 518 singer-songwriters, including Olivia Quillio, Kyle McDonough, Phoebe Henry, Zan Strumfeld and others…

The final Sunday night concert of the Music Haven’s summer concert season gave Schenectady’s Central Park a rain scare. Fortunately, the promoters improvised, turning the stage into a coffeehouse for the evening and filling it with sparkling acoustic sounds.

It was good times and a hot, sweaty time on stage for the WEXT birthday show at Valentine’s Music Hall in Albany last Thursday.
First up was the Lucky Jukebox Brigade, who gave a well-sung performance which got the show off to a good note. Next, Scientific Maps got everyone to lose weight with their “lo cal” set, which included a Kamikazee Hearts song, along with a couple of originals and more covers.

Congrats go out to 20-year-old singer-songwriter Olivia Quillio, who took first place and walked off with $4,000 in prizes at Friday night’s Garage to Glory competition in front of a sold-out crowd at the College of Saint Rose.
Andy Gregory explains his photograph: “This shot was taken of Garage to Glory II winner Olivia Quillio of Troy,
during her encore performance after being announced as the winner. Yeah, there’s no shoes in this shot. Well, you can see a bit of one, off to the right. They appeared to be Minnetonka-style fringed suede boots in a milk chocolate brown, with some bead decoration. But I’m no shoe expert.”
