Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (June 26, 2021)

By Mike Stampalia On Jun 26, 2021

Best bet: The Vaughns / Candy Ambulance / Stella & the Reptilians @ The Hollow, Albany.

There’s an awful lot of good music happening around town today, including Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival up at SPAC and this year’s (virtual) Old Songs Festival. But The Hollow returns to “full shows” with a devastating triple bill. Make sure you end up there. (7:30)
