Yep, we pretty much don’t have a music scene at all to be honest with you and I’ve been saying that for a long time. No venues to play at these days. Venues come and go. I’ve seen some of the most popular venues close down and some has relocated under a new name.
I can understand why bands & solo acoustic acts around here move out of this area. Why? Simply because they probably realized this area isn’t much of a music scene so they move else where to try to find a better music scene where they can gig a lot. You’re not gonna gig a lot in the Capital District that’s for sure.
Seriously, there are no venues here and sorry… I don’t consider shit hole bar rooms as “venues”. Bars are not venues, in my opinion. A venue is a place that has an actual stage and you don’t see much of that around here. You want to see a “venue” with an actual stage, you gotta go to New York City, Nashville or Los Angeles for that. There isn’t much for live music venues around the Capital District area.
You gotta admit this truth.
