We’re starting to see the first trickle of rescheduled shows have actual new dates for later in the year. How accurate these turn out to be is obviously TBD, but it’s a hopeful sign regardless. In the meantime, there’s a nice live stream series with the Dust Bowl Faeries that’s been announced down at Helsinki Hudson. Conversely, The Linda’s “Open for Take-Out” series has postponed their January shows in response to the uptick in Covid we’re experiencing currently. Stay safe out there, and let’s get through this.
Best bet: The latest “Palace Sessions” is a triple threat of local talent, and really can’t be missed. Madison VanDenburg, Sawyer Fredericks, and Moriah Formica – any one of these artists is a show worth seeing. See all three of them together this Wednesday night, courtesy of the Palace Theatre, the City of Albany, and Mirth Films.
