In Growing Up 518, we've been following the story of my 84-year old Nana. She's spent almost all of her life right here in the Capital Region and in this series she's been sharing her stories of how it once was locally. In episode 7, after marrying my Grandfather, they moved onto the army base

Backstage at any concert venue can get interesting, but what happens when you sit down to interview the artist and the lights go out? It happened when I was with Granger Smith last week at Upstate Concert Hall!

20 years in the making and now Garth Brook is back in the Capital Region for 3 whole nights! Last night was opening night and I had the opportunity to be a part of the press conference and a one-on-one with the man himself.

We're all on the go all of the time and it's easy to miss out on some of the biggest country music news headlines of the week. That's what Country in 60 is for! All of the big country news in 60 seconds!

There are a couple of ways that you know Trent Harmon: He was the final American Idol winner and he also has an amazing new single out that's just hit the top 20 called, "There's a Girl." This guy's got talent - lots of it!

This Saturday downtown Albany is about to transition from calm city streets to an overwhelming sea of green! Will you be a part of the festivities?

Growing up 518 has been a treat to film with my 84-year old Nana. Going through her life growing up here in the Capital Region and how different things were back then. As we enter episode 6, we've gotten to when my Grandfather

Maybe I've been living under a rock or maybe the music within the franchise FYE (standing for For Your Entertainment) but I never knew that the man behind the music chain was from Albany, NY. Not only was he from our Capital Region but he also continued to have the home base for the music store locally as well.

I know what you're thinking, "how about some stores filling those vacant spots within the mall?" I know. I think they're currently working on that with murals plastered on the white walls asking us to guess who's coming soon. So, time will tell on what amazing shopping opportunities they do bring us.

I was getting ready to leave work on Monday thinking, "what should I do?" See, Mondays are tough. I'm out on the road by 5pm but I have to be back in Albany by 7:30pm to host trivia at a bar, so it doesn't make sense to fight rush hour traffic to only be home for a very brief amount of time. So, I do things.
