2023 NipperFest Lineup Highlights the Capital Region’s Impressive Music Scene
SCHENECTADY – The NipperFest Music & Arts Festival returns for its second outing featuring Billboard AAA Top 40 artists Jocelyn & Chris headlining a one-day event that promises to highlight over a dozen Capital Region performers on two stages at Music Haven on Saturday, July 22.
Jocelyn & Chris, along with their band, have charted five consecutive commercial radio singles in the Billboard AAA Top 40, taken two records to #1 on the Relix Jambands Top 30, and appeared nationally on NBC’s Today Show. The siblings, both graduates of Harvard University, have recorded eight albums and perform coast to coast.
Last year’s inaugural NipperFest was such a momentous one attracting more than 2500 local music fans— soaking in the sunshine and great tunes while enjoying our creative community with headlining sets from The Figgs, Super 400, Sirsy, and Sawyer Fredericks.
“We’re so excited to bring NipperFest back to Music Haven, or as I prefer to call it, Music Heaven!” said Nippertown’s Jim Gilbert. “This year’s line-up highlights the seemingly infinite amount of talent we have right here in our backyard – and now we can’t wait to announce this incredible lineup for our second festival.”
The diverse lineup includes many up-and-coming local bands, including Precious Metals, Brule County Bad Boys, The Sugar Hold, Hold On Honeys, E-Block, Carolyn Shapiro, Jimi W, Margo Macero, ShortWave RadioBand, Lucas Garrett, and Camtron5000 round out the initial 2023 NipperFest lineup. Additional acts will be announced soon, including this year’s winner of the Capital Region’s annual March Music Madness tournament, going on now at Nippertown.com.
Music Haven is located in the scenic Schenectady Central Park. Festivalgoers can explore trails, play frisbee golf, go swimming in the large community pool, and pick up eats from any of the half-dozen local food trucks.
NipperFest will also host the “Art Pavilion,” consisting of local artists and other creative vendors, as well as a kid’s station. Additionally, the family-friendly festival has an incredible play area for the youngest festivalgoers.
