Rec Room is one of Albany’s best spots for catching indie and folk acts before the rest of the world catches on, and the Let It Rip Tour co-headline from Adjust the Sails and Thoughts On Bowling fits that room perfectly.
Both acts bring an indie/folk sensibility to a co-headlining format that’s increasingly rare — two artists sharing a bill as genuine equals rather than one headliner padded out by a quick opener. The Let It Rip Tour puts them on the same footing, which means you’re getting a full evening of music from two acts rather than a rushed thirty-minute set before the main event.
Rec Room has built a loyal following by booking acts with genuine artistic ambition in an unpretentious, crowd-friendly setting. The room rewards attentive listening, which makes it a natural fit for the kind of intimate, carefully crafted music that defines the indie/folk world at its best.
Doors and show at 6:30 p.m. — an early start that gives you the full night. Tickets are on sale now.
