SPAC has added a ton of new shows for their 2026 lineup, see who's coming!

SPAC is gearing up for another incredible summer. Here's who's going to be a part of their 2026 season...

A popular Downtown Troy restaurant is undergoing a transformation and emerging as a live music venue and eatery. After successful live music events, the owners decided to switch things up including a new name.

It was a highly anticipated return of Eric Church to the Capital Region and he did not disappoint! It was "The Outsiders Revival Tour". What a show! We know GNA Nation was out in full force despite the rain and we said howdy to a lot of you. Check out the amazing pictures from last night's show.

Both bands played SPAC three days apart this year.

It had been three years since the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train rolled through the Capital Region. It made three stops; Mechanicville, Saratoga Springs, and Fort Edward. The first was Mechanicville on a rainy Sunday night. This is where I enjoyed the festive holiday train. They are traveling across the country to 106 stops. At each stop, they play live music and collect donations for the local food banks. Country Artist Lindsay Ell was the musical entertainment and she was awesome. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train also presented the Mechanicville Community Center with a check for $3500 to help restock the food bank. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, a couple of hundred families joined the fun.

With their two shows at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Friday and Saturday night, Dave Matthews Band will notch a huge milestone in Upstate music history.

Summer at the Plaza is fully underway with a summerlong lineup of food trucks, fun fitness classes, and free lunchtime concerts at Albany's Empire State Plaza.

The weather is getting nicer and little by little more events are being scheduled in this "new normal" after the pandemic. One of the most anticipated events that draw thousands in Schenectady County will return this summer.

It seems as if more and more restaurants are experiencing a resurgence after the pandemic. There is one restaurant and bar in Halfmoon that has been around for more than three decades and is entering into a new era.

The Capital Region's most anticipated and unique Country show is back for another go around this Spring.

2022 is already shaping up to be a huge year for Country shows in Upstate New York.
