Some shows that are coming up, fall 2012
There are people who like to go to concerts. You may be one of these people.
There are also people who just like to know that there are concerts. You might be one of those people if you're not the other kind of person.
Either way, you will be interested to know that these concerts will be happening in the Capital Region. And during the next few months.
Runs through December. This isn't a comprehensive list. If there's something not on here that you think should be mentioned -- please mention away. Some of these shows have already been mentioned. We didn't think you'd mind.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

I know for sure that as long as Chrissie Hynde walks the earth and rocks the stage, Carrie Underwood is NOT the world's sexiest vegetarian.

November 16: Rustic Overtones at Putnam Den
$10 at door
This regional / New England fixture changed gears quite a bit on their last album. Personally I had mixed feelings on that material, but they are always great live.
At $10 it's a deal whether you're curious to check them out for the first time or a long-time fan like me.
