Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (August 18, 2021)

Best bet: Wild Adriatic / Super 400 @ Empire State Plaza, Albany.

It’s local night for the Capital Concert series tonight, and that’s a very good thing. Perennial favorites Wild Adriatic bring their dance-friendly groove to the Plaza, after Troy legends Super 400 kicks things off with their own jam. (5:30) – note, this show has been postponed to September 1 due to the forecast.
