Some shows that are coming up, fall 2011
Andrew Bird's playing the Troy Music Hall.
There are a bunch of concerts worth mentioning that were recently announced, or were announced not recently but are now coming up. These are concerts that you -- yes, you -- may even like to attend.
And here are those concerts...
This list doesn't include shows from this week. Some of these have already been mentioned -- we didn't think you'd mind.
October 2: Madeleine Peyroux and Nellie McKay at The Egg
Two ladies who sound like they might be in the wrong decade(s). In a good way.
October 3: Jackson Browne at The Palace
Solo and acoustic.
October 3: Shenandoah Davis at The First Street Ballroom in Troy
A (not so) secret Swordpaw show. With Sarah Puig, and the Lucky Jukebox Brigade.
October 5: Wye Oak at Valentine's
Folky, dreamy indie rock. With Hilly Eye (a member of Titus Andronicus), and The Red Lions.
October 7: TV on the Radio at Skidmore
As mentioned. And, yep, it's open to the general public.
October 12: Hanson at Northern Lights
Look, they're old(er) now.
October 13: Andrew Bird at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall
As noted already. With: Dosh.
October 13: Boyz II Men at Saratoga Casino
Are these guys old-school yet? Almost?
October 14: Josh Ritter at The Egg
Solo, acoustic. He's writes books now, too. With: John Wesley Harding.
October 18: Weird Al at The Palace
Part of the ALpocalypse tour. (The end of days involves an accordion and polka, apparently.)
October 22: Marco Benevento at Red Square
Composer, organist, electric pianist.
October 24: Amos Lee at The Egg
For whatever reason, his music ends on TV shows all the time.
October 25: Indigo Girls at The Egg
At what point they just admit their age and start calling themselves the Indigo Women?
October 27: Rasputina at Helsinki Hudson
Cellos. Victorian fashion.
October 27: Panic! at the Disco at Northern Lights
Emphatic punctuation!
October 29: Halloween at Valentine's
Covers downstairs, the Freak-out upstairs.
October 30: Soulive at the Massry Center
Funk/jazz trio covering the Beatles.
November 2: Lindsey Buckingham at The Egg
Fleetwood Mac rock Hall of Famer, still making albums.
November 5: Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings at Helsinki Hudson
Soul.
November 6: Bobby Long at The Linda
Folksy and bluesy and British-y. And, look, it's a donut version of him.
November 9: Joe Bonamassa at The Palace
Blues rock.
November 10: Bel Biv Devoe at Saratoga Casino
It's our understanding that girl is poison.
November 17: Chris Cornell at The Egg
The guy from Soundgarden, "performing songs from his entire career," acoustic.
November 22: Ray Davies at The Egg
Of Kinks fame.
December 3: Eilen Jewell at The Linda
"Queen of the Minor Key."
December 10: Dar Williams at Proctors
She's originally from the town where Andrew Cuomo now lives.
December 17: ASO and Joshua Bell at The Palace
Superstar violinist -- even if people walk past him in the subway.
December 22: Kenny Rogers at Proctors
Time to fold them apparently still has not arrived.
So, that's a bunch of shows. But, obviously, not comprehensive. If there's something you're looking forward to, please share.

If you can handle the screaming, Hanson always puts on a fantastic show! Yes MMMBop is played but they have a lot more to offer :-)

I 110% recommend traveling to Hudson to see Sharon Jones. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

@pjm: Already in there! Right between Boyz II Men and Weird Al. Hmm... that's an odd trio.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are fantastic live - that's a show that will be well worth driving to Hudson for. And I've heard that Eilen Jewell is really good live, too . . . a very cool show to see right here in Albany at the Linda.
