The Palace Theatre, The City of Albany Events & Mirth Films presents The Palace Sessions with EASTBOUND JESUS – Wednesday, AUGUST 19 at 7:00pm!
Eastbound Jesus is a six piece acoustic/electric band from the small town of Greenwich, NY. They formed in the fall of 2010 in an old barn on the outskirts of their hometown and huddled around a hot wood-stove, they began writing music right away. Adam Brockway, Carl and Luke Anderson, Dave Wright, Dylan Robinson and Zack Infante take inspiration from all over the music spectrum to form a style all their own. Over a tight rhythm section, the group blends clever lyrics, unique vocal harmonies, solid strumming and picking, and rounds out their sound with lead instrumentation that is nothing short of on-point.
Donations can be made to benefit the Palace Performing Arts Center, Inc. – the 501(c)3 non-profit organization that owns and operates the historic Palace Theatre. Donations can be made online @ https://bit.ly/PalaceSessionsDonate or directly through the Palace Theatre’s Text To Give program, by texting Palace2020 to 44321.

Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band – Quarantine Concert Series
Joe Mansman and The Midnight Revival Band are a stark reminder of the authority of Rock and Roll. Where few bands
still don the mantle, they carry the torch, combining attitude, swagger, colossal guitar solos, and boisterous lyrics into a
crucible of classic rock, glam rock, blues, americana, and rockabilly.
Their new EP “Wolves Among Sheep”, showcases the group at it’s finest, employing a rich and dynamic change in pace that
ethereally serves dramatic and memorable vocal hooks over a soaring landscape of guitars and keys, carefully weaving their
way in and out of your soul like a fiery sermon. Their live shows take no shortcuts either. The band’s riveting presence
captures the room, and before long they have you nodding in accord saying “Long live rock and roll.”

About Grace Potter:
Described by Spin as “one of the greatest living voices in rock today,” Grace Potter has not only played every major music festival from Coachella and Lollapalooza to Bonnaroo and Rock in Rio, she’s created her own thriving music festival, Burlington’s Grand Point North.
Additionally, she’s shared a stage with artists such as The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Robert Plant, the Allman Brothers, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Mavis Staples, and The Roots to name just a few. Potter has also collaborated with the Flaming Lips for a Tim Burton film, written and produced music for film and TV and recorded two GRAMMY-nominated, multiplatinum singles with her friend Kenny Chesney.
In October 2019, Grace released Daylight, her second solo LP and first for Fantasy Records. Daylight arrives after a turbulent, life-altering 4-year hiatus from music that had the acclaimed singer-songwriter contemplating whether she would ever record another album. Cathartic and emotionally raw, Daylight is the result of that arduous journey, the most emotionally revealing, musically daring work of her career.
“I’ve always aimed to write songs from a universal perspective; so that anyone who heard my music could relate, but that actually made it harder for me to take ownership of my own perspective. These songs were written so I could process–and be accountable for–my own life experience,” Potter says. “I had just pulled the ripcord on my whole life. It was an incredibly jarring, private experience. When the dust settled a bit, the last thing I wanted to do was tell the whole world about it through song. It was a very gradual process of re-framing music and its purpose in my life. So, when I finally started writing songs again-it had to be for myself and myself alone. ”Produced by her
husband Eric Valentine, Daylight took shape in the Topanga Canyon home they’d recently settled into. Unsigned and entirely free of any pressure to appease, Potter slowly carved out ideas and the two began laying down tracks. Moving to Valentine’s Hollywood studio, Barefoot Recording, the songs came to life with the help of longtime Potter collaborators including guitarist Benny Yurco and drummer Matt Musty, friends Benmont Tench and Larry Goldings on keys and supreme vocalists, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of the indie band Lucius
