Last year, I saw George Clinton and The P-Funk outside enjoying everything the Albany area has to offer, for FREE. One thing we all love are events at the Empire State Plaza in Albany for New York State Capital Concert Series.
Always free, always family-friendly and always funky fresh.
Featuring… George Thorogood, Living Colour, Bootsie Collins & Kellie Pickler!!!
That is right. Living Colour, Bootsy Collins and George Thorogood are among the performers who will play at the Empire State Plaza during this year’s Wednesday night concert series, according to the Office of General Services. I personally have always wanted to see George live and NEVER HAVE. One of my first tape cassettes EVER was a George Thorogood and The Destroyers LIVE album and I played that thing until it died.
