There’s no better cure for the blues than the blues… So shake off those mid-winter blues with a double-barrelled blast of the blues at Albany’s Steamer No. 10 Theatre this Saturday evening (February 23).
“Blues for the Steamer” is a benefit concert for the theater, and the dynamic double-bill features some of the finest talents on the Capital Region blues scene.

Lost Radio Rounders – the acoustic duo of Tom Lindsay and Michael Eck – gathered together some of Nippertown’s finest roots musicians recently at Steamer No. 10 Theatre in Albany to celebrate the release of their new CD, Heaven’s Radio: Lost Radio Rounders & Friends Sing Gospel Songs of the Carter Family.
As a duo, Puerto Rican vocalist Taína Asili and Sicilian guitarist Gaetano Vaccaro – both driving forces in the band Tania Asili y la Bande Rebelde – serve up some of Latin America’s best loved folkloric classics as well as spirited Spanish flamenco music.
Lost Radio Rounders come by their name honestly, as their songs conjure up the bygone days when families would gather around the big ole radio in the parlor to listen to the music of the day – the Grand Ole Opry, the Louisiana Hayride or the King Biscuit Hour.
The acoustic duo of Tom Lindsay and Michael Eck has a grand passion for the historic American music of yesteryear, and that love comes through loud and clear in the songs they sing – both time-honored favorites and nearly forgotten gems.

Rosary Beard – the sparkling, yet meditative instrumental guitar duo of Matthew Loiacano (aka Matthew Carefully) and Hunter Sagehorn (of Alta Mira) – unveiled their debut CD, “Halfmoon Fever,” with a pre-release party and performance at the Steamer No. 10 Theatre in Albany last Friday evening.
Originally slated for tomorrow night (Saturday) at the Steamer No. 10 Theatre in Albany, the benefit concert by the Singing Anchors – the trio of Nippertown TV news personalities Benita Zahn, Jessica Layton and Jerry Gretzinger – has been postponed.
The performance – a fundraising concert for the theater – has been postponed “due to the vast quantity of snow currently clogging the city of Albany,” according to the Steamer 10 website.
