It’s The Weekend!

Non-stop Nippertown action!

Here’s Friday’s tipsheet. And here’s our music roundup, our visual arts roundup and film specials roundup.

Here’s some special recommendations:

Albany First Friday

Tulip Festival. And don’t miss Charlie Watts Riots

Matt Haimovitz and his eight-piece all-cello ensemble at Helsinki Hudson and Caffe Lena

“Disfarmer” @ MASS MoCA

Train of Fools @ Bread & Jam Cafe

Popa Chubby @ The Van Dyck

Sevendust @ Northern Lights

Here’s some serious plant sales: a Mother’s Day plant sale on Sunday at Olana, while The Berkshire Botanical Garden has their annual plant sale going on all weekend.

World War 3 Illustrated 30th Anniversary Gala Celebration @ The Sanctuary for Independent Media, Troy. Creators of America’s longest-running political comic book descend on the Capital Region with performances, workshops, and a gallery show opening.

Aaaaannnd, we here at Nippertown want to give a warm shoutout to HudsonSounds. Check out their classical and contemporary music recommendations.
