Wrapping up the weekend – and their annual two-night Den run — will be Melvin Seals & JGB. Last night’s show with Twiddle was a mob scene! Tonight should allow for a little more dancing space.

Opening act for Nite #2 is North Country funk-jam’sters Lucid. As always, just look for their psychedelic bus in the parking lot!

$20 at the door. 18+ for tonight (+$5 if under-21). 8:30 start.

Tonight (Friday): The Slide Brothers + Danielle Miraglia!

General Admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 20:22:55 +0000

The masters of the sacred (pedal) steel stop in for a very special show, hot off their rousing appearance on Conan this week.

“… with a ferocity that will startle fans of Duane Allman, Derek Trucks and Muddy Waters” (Guitar World)

Opening act is the talented slide-blues guitarist Danielle Miraglia.

$10 at door; 18+ (+$5 if under-21). Show starts 9;40; Slide Brothers at approximately 11PM.

Friday: Bernie Returned

General Admin — Fri, 10 May 2013 19:48:12 +0000

Friday marked the return to the Den stage of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bernie Worrell. The funk-master earned his cred with the groundbreaking Parliament/Funkadelic (which he co-founded with George Clinton) and then later went on to lead the punk-to-funk transition of Talking Heads. Albany’s The Chronicles opened the show with a very nice set. We’ll see them back soon.

Last Saturday: Lucid w/Jamie Kent

General Admin — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:44:08 +0000

Lucid — the popular North Country funky jam band — returned to the Den for a Saturday night performance.

The opening act was a special treat: Northampton’s buzz-making Jamie Kent & The Options brought their hook-filled adult-alternative rock to the stage.

A great crowd — and a great night of music.

Weekend with Ryan and Aaron

General Admin — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:18:58 +0000

This weekend sees the return of an old friend as well as a rather surprising booking (for the Den, at least). What they both have in common is that they are tee’ing-up as drawing large crowds.

Friday night brings the Ryan Montbleau Band back to our stage. One of the more popular acts on our yearly schedule, RMB brings a very approachable adult contemporary/alternative mix to the audience. Their tunes are thoughtful, filled with hooks — and very danceable. $17 door tickets will be available at 8 PM for this 9:30PM event. Richard James and the Namechangers open in their den debut.

The 90′s are back! On Saturday nite we’ll get to meet one Aaron Carter, who lands in Saratoga as part of his 2013 After-Party Tour. The 90′s tween-pop sensation will offer a just-for-kicks nostalgia trip to his admirers as well as an “all grown up now” look-see. A limited number of tickets will be available at the venue, beginning at 7Pm for the 9PM (sharp) start time. Opening acts are Astro Safari USA (full set), Alexis Babini and Alexander Cardinale (both 20-minite solo acoustic sets).

Thursday: A Dab O’ Honey?

General Admin — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:18:06 +0000

It’s EDM Night at the Den on Thursday as the very hot producer Blue Boy Productions brings its Dabs O’Honey Tour 2013 into town.

10PM. $10. 18+ (+$5 if under-21)

The Hornitz

General Admin — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:20:15 +0000
