Looks like Louis may be doing an entire tour of surprise shows and tonight he stops in Albany.

I'm not exactly sure how a performance like this came about but let me tell you, I am very intrigued.

Brothers Tristan and Colby Beach of the Clifton Park duo 'Ignis' stopped by the Q studios this week to discuss the release of their debut album and play a couple songs off it for us!

Latham rocker Moriah Formica stopped by the studios ahead of two Capital Region shows this weekend to give us all the details and talk new music with us.

Man, the Palace has some pretty awesome and big comedy acts coming to the Capital Region this year!

Yesterday Q103 had the pleasure of receiving a visit from rock quartet Skillet. Accompanied by a handful of lucky winners, we all gathered for the eighth garage session that included an interview with Dalton and an acoustic performance of "Sick Of It" and "Rise," two hits off their new album which debuted today.

It's always exciting when a band comes out with new material and even more exciting when you get to hear it live, especially for the first time. This was such the case for Stone Sour fans in Tuscon, Arizona this past Tuesday as the band performed their newest single "Do Me A Favor" for the very first time.

The official music video has also debuted. Last night was the first of two nights of the band's hometown CD-release show in Des Moines, Iowa, and they performed the brand new track in front of their closest homegrown fa

While there remains continual doubt about if and when Velvet Revolver will ever return to the stage with a new singer, it’s at least nice to know that the core group of former Guns N’ Roses members remain on a friendly basis. That was definitely on display Friday night (July 13) in Seattle when Duff McKagan dropped in on his old pal Slash for a performance at the Paramount Theatre.

Wednesday night Q-Ruption 2012 headlining artist 'Shinedown' performed their latest single 'Unity' off their latest album Amaryllis on Conan. The band also conducted a first ever twitter scavenger hunt while on the late night talk show, where a winner received a phone call from the band and VIP tickets to a future Shinedown show. If you missed the performance, we have the video - watch it now. Re
