Joe Jordan is the kind of songwriter you discover sideways — through a track you kept hearing without knowing who wrote it. If “Front Seat” has been in your rotation (the Rayne Johnson song with over 100 million cumulative streams), Jordan is the person who wrote it. Now touring under his own name, with close to 900,000 monthly Spotify listeners and a full-length album due this summer, he plays Empire Underground in downtown Albany on Thursday, June 4. Show starts at 8:00 PM.
About Joe Jordan
Jordan grew up in the northeastern United States, cutting his teeth at bars and honky-tonks — anywhere he could plug in a guitar and hold a room. That instinct for a hook eventually earned him a deal with Rix Records and a streaming audience that keeps growing. His top track “Big Enough Mountain” has cleared 11 million streams on Spotify; “Spiraling Down” and “Don’t Tell Alley” have each hit around 8 million. He has been releasing new material — “Home Used To Be,” “Help Sometimes,” and “Couch at My Parents House” — building toward a full album coming mid-2026.
The Albany stop is part of a late-spring run that also includes dates in Ann Arbor, Lexington, and Toronto. This is not an arena circuit — it is a genuine club run, and Empire Underground is exactly the kind of room a show like this is built for.
About Empire Underground
Empire Underground is the downstairs room at Empire Live on N Pearl Street in downtown Albany. It is an intimate club space with a brick-and-steel feel that puts you genuinely close to the stage — the kind of room where honest, unfiltered country lands differently than it would in a larger hall. Worth knowing before you go: the age policy is 16+ unless you are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian aged 21 or older. Box office hours are Monday through Friday, 11am to 4pm. Browse our full Empire Underground venue page for more, or check the Albany / Capital District concert guide for what else is coming up in the region.
Tickets
Tickets start at $28.10. It is a small room and a Thursday night club show — if you are on the fence, do not wait.
