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.

I'm pretty sure Dave Grohl is always up for a challenge. Not that I know the guy. But really, from touring in a cast on a throne, to a drum off with a 10-year-old, the guy knows no bounds.
The drum off with a 10-year-old is the most recent of his escapades, a challenge he accepted after it was thrown out by Nandi Bushell, 10-year-old drummer...
It looks like the Smashing Pumpkins will be joining Guns N’ Roses for some upcoming tour dates.
A band that certainly can tour in their own, but have also toured with the likes of Marilyn Manson, the Smashing Pumpkins are going to be quite the rock pairing with Guns N’ Roses...
Add one more show to your summer concert calendar.
With already great live music announced for summer 2020 (really, is it summer yet?), the SPAC lineup just got even more stacked. Dead & Co. are coming back to SPAC this August. I mean, it's not really a surprise since they do well and SPAC is a great venue for them, but still, I know I'm pretty excited about the announcement. ...
Pearl Jam have announced a new tour with the Pixies- huge news right! Well, there's one major hitch.
Initially when I saw the announcement, my heart skipped a beat. I saw a headline by the New York Post and thought "oh my god yes, Pearl Jam, Pixies, I am THERE"...
