I love summer and the wide array of events going on. I was able to visit the new gallery, art haus, in Armory Square and Jeff Allen’s Art Opening at one of my favorite spots, Maxwells, in Hanover Square. Take a walk and check them out. The shows are still on display. There is also an art trail through downtown.
Of course I also caught some music. Dark Hollow was at Maxwells and Ben Wayne was at Eleven Waters. Not bad for a Wednesday! Friday I went to Amanda Rogers’ EP Release at Manlius Cinema. I feel lucky to have experienced the unique blend of watching 52 Hertz The Loneliest Whale then seeing her perform her album inspired by the story. It was an intimate and moving experience. The album, 52 Hurts, is now streaming.
This week:
Tuesday
Another Tribute Tuesday at The Ridge! The 5th in our Summer 2024 Tuesday Tribute series celebrates the incredible collaborative energy of two of rock and roll’s most iconic brotherhoods. Their songwriting and blended instrumental talents have placed them solidly among music’s finest and their songs transport us to “that time.”
Come and experience the special, collaborative energy and incredible musical talent that our place has become known for. Our good friends and great musicians, The Barndogs will be doing a special Allman Brothers set too! You absolutely need to be there!
