FREE FEST: PearlPalooza Announces Line-Up of Bands

Earlier this week, the first round of bands were announced for LarkFest, and not to be outdone, the organizers of PearlPalooza have unveiled the roster of band now, too.

From Pine Street to Sheridan Avenue, North Pearl Street in downtown Albany will be shut down to traffic and filled up with live music on Saturday, September 17, as the seventh annual PearlPalooza party takes place with two stages and continuous bands from 1-8pm.

And of course there will be a variety of craft and food vendors on site, as well. And yes, there will definitely be beer, too!

Here’s the line-up of bands announced for the 2016 PearlPalooza:

1pm: RECHORDUROYS
Greater Nippertown’s own garage-popsters featuring Ben Garrett, Dan Wilson, August Sagehorn and Bryan Hogan
