More Jam Faves at the Saranac

Robert Randolph & the Family Band will bring their powerful, hip-shakin' blend of gospel-tinged rock/soul to the Saranac Brewery in Utica on Friday, July 18. Tickets are only $22 in advance (or $26 the day of the show).

Then, later in the summer, the Dark Star Orchestra will appear Friday, Aug. 1. Again, tickets are only $22 in advance, $22 day of.

Both shows are general admission. They come on top of our earlier announcement about moe.'s two-night, four-set stand, June 13-14.

Looks like the Saranac is really developing into a jam niche in Central New York (sort of like our version of the Brown's Brewing Co.'s Revolution Hall in Troy), booking bands known for their excellent live performances. Way to go!

P.S. -- Robert Randolph, who's just about to kick off a tour opening for Eric Clapton, will also play the Empire Center in Albany on April 16. No ticket info yet, but we'll keep you posted!
