One of the things that makes covering live entertainment in Upstate New York so rewarding is watching the region’s scene mature and expand. The Central NY in particular has been on an upward trajectory, with venues and promoters working together to bring acts like Real Diamond to stages that showcase them properly. This show is a reflection of that growth, and it deserves an audience that matches the quality of what is being offered.
There are a lot of shows on the Central NY calendar this spring, but Real Diamond at Turning Stone Event Center on May 9 is one I am especially excited about. It has all the ingredients for a great night out.
