Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (September 17, 2022)

Best bet: “Pearlpalooza” @ Pearl Street, Albany.

It’s a good day for jazz in the northern, southern, and eastern parts of Nippertown.  But the big party today is right in the shadow of Nipper himself.  BattleaXXX, Precious Metals, The Kaleidoscope Kid, Whole Damn Mess, and a DJ set by Phantogram.  And if that’s not enough for you, duck into Empire Underground for the after-party. (Pearlpalooza starts at 11:00 a.m.)
