There was definitely no shortage of amazing live tunes in the Capital Region in 2016. Relive some of our favorite shows from this year and let us know who you are hoping will come rock for us in 2017!
Without a doubt one of the best things about living in the Capital Region is the abundance of live music that rolls through the area every year. 2016 was an absolutely stellar year for rock shows and the Q is hoping to keep that rolling right on in 2017!
I polled the staff here at the Q to find out which shows stood out the most to them in 2016 and here are some of our favorites ... in no particular order, because that's just too hard. Then let us know which bands you want to see play the Capital Region in 2017 below!
