indie music

We’re going to meet a musician from Minnesota now. Indie band Hippo Campus released its fourth studio album, Flood, in September. It was recorded in just 10 days for the band’s new label, Psychic Hotline. And it came together as the group scrapped more than 100 songs. The album harbors a different feeling than previous albums and singles. But its melodies will be familiar to fans who have been following Hippo Campus since its 2017 debut. I spoke with lead guitarist Nathan Stocker ahead of the band’s show at Empire Live in Albany on February 8th.

Central Park in Schenectady, New York is ready, once again, to come alive for the summer, as Music Haven kicks-off its 32nd season of “traveling the world one concert at a time.” The much-heralded concert and event series will feature high caliber national and international touring artists, plus some theater and film, in its ambitious comeback season. On top of a boisterous itinerary that includes sun splashed reggae; South Louisiana Zydeco; Balkan party music; harmony-driven bluegrass – even Finnish folk music for the first time. We welcome Music Haven Producing Artistic Director Mona Golub.
