Niskayuna native Marc LaBelle is the lead singer for the Los Angeles based Rock band Dirty Honey and Marc will return home for a show at SPAC but this time, instead of being in the audience, he will be on stage in front of family, friends and fans.

This won't be Marc's first time on stage at SPAC. On September 14, 2021 Marc and Dirty Honey opened the show for the Black Crowes on the "Black Crowes Present: Shake Your Money Maker Tour". Prior to that show Labelle reminisced about attending shows as a fan and seeing artists such as Tom Petty, Aerosmith and even the Black Crowes. Check out our interview with Marc LaBelle below.
