After the on-again, off-again rain on Day One, Sunday’s sunshine was a welcome relief on the second and final day of Albany’s annual Tulip Festival in Washington Park. Yes, it was Mother’s Day, and the mothers were out in force. And so was the music, especially the homegrown sounds at the Lakehouse Stage, where WEXT-FM presented Local 518 faves Annie & the Hedonists, MaryLeigh & the Fauves, the Dylan Perrillo Orchestra and the festival-closing Eastbound Jesus, all of whom provided an eclectic mix of country, alt-pop, jazz, blues, rock and more.
And it was all free.
Now that’s what we call a good time…

Really great line up this year inc. old friends & new! Just wish there was someplace to SIT at the main stage. (Parade grounds). It wouldn’t make sense & would be terribly impractical to drag around my beach chair in the mob scene known as Tulip Fest! I have a disability, cannot stand for a long period of time. My hip doesn’t like it! The drizzle, Saturday, didn’t deter anyone if, perhaps, coupled w/the coll weather, Sunday, it kept the down heavy drinking.
Here’s a totally useless fact: Jonny Rosen of the Hedonists and my mother had the same aunt; my mother’s is by marriage, but still.
