Moments In Focus
Iron & Wine at The Egg May 10, 2026 Angie surprised me with tickets to Iron & Wine performing at The Egg. It was the concert I didn’t know what I needed. I have been a casual fan of his work since I first heard his cover of ‘Such Great Heights‘ on the ‘Garden State‘ soundtrack, […]
Disciple of the Garden brought raw 90s grunge energy to Frog Alley, while ScarHaven surprised me with real power and presence. In a bigger room, they might have brought the house down.
Logan’s senior Christmas concert filled me with pride for his dedication to music, and a bittersweet ache knowing it’s my final one.
Weird Al At SPAC: Comedy Meets Energy July 17, 2025 Songs for the Restless Heart On Thursday, July 17, 2025, I took my wife and two sons to see “Weird Al” Yankovic at the Broadview Stage at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, NY. He kicked off the night with “Tacky”, backed by his expanded eight-piece band, delivering […]
Counting Crows at Turning Stone: Echoes of an Authentic Ache June 22, 2025 Songs for the Restless Heart Counting Crows have been one of my favorite bands since I was thirteen. Their songs always felt like late-night conversations with an old friend — vulnerable, meandering, and full of that bittersweet ache that only a few […]
Balcony Shaking Rock: Bush at Proctors May 12, 2025 Photo Story I went into the night knowing a few Bush songs, casually appreciating their place in ‘90s rock history, but not counting myself a die-hard fan. That changed about halfway through their set at Proctors Theatre. From the first note to the final encore, the […]
Filter at Proctor’s Theater: When the Opening Act Went Full Headliner May 12, 2025 Too Loud for Just One Post My lady and I saw Bush live at Proctors Theatre, with Filter opening the night. But Filter brought such raw energy to the stage, they earned a post all their own. Here are some shots […]
Seeing Green Day live on August 7th, 2024, was an unforgettable experience. The night opened with the band performing their latest single, The American Dream is Killing Me, before diving into Dookie in its entirety to celebrate the album’s 30th anniversary—a record that defined a generation. After wrapping up Dookie, the band launched into Brain […]
It’s that time of year again—Colonie’s annual Christmas concert! Logan and Chase took part in this wonderful tradition, and they absolutely nailed it. It’s always such a joy to see the effort and dedication they’ve put into their music come to life on stage. Well done guys. Logan’s Christmas Concert Chase’s Christmas Concert
I’ve wanted to see the Smashing Pumpkins live since 1995, and this past August, I finally got my chance. It felt surreal to check this off my bucket list after almost three decades of waiting. The performance itself was incredible—Billy Corgan still has that enigmatic stage presence, but watching him, I couldn’t help but wonder, […]
