Glass Pony (w/ the Laura Leigh Band)

Glass Pony and the Laura Leigh Band will be performing a free pre-show on Dec. 27 right before moe. / EBJ show at the Palace.

Encapsulating influences stretching across decades from psychedelic and jam-focused rock, to funk, post-punk, and even modern indie and post-rock, the Albany, New York collective Glass Pony offer a sound that truly translates through generations, with a stylistic blend built to engage a broad listenership. With a focus squarely set on delivering the most captivating live performance possible, the band utilizes infectiously danceable grooves colored with virtuosic individual performances that deftly blend into a cohesive whole. To accentuate their creative songwriting, they place a great value on improvisation and fluid set lists that change from show to show. The band is comprised of Chanda Dewey (drums), Eddie Hotaling (guitar, lead vocals), Jeff Picarazzi (bass), and Greg Pittz (lead guitar). If you’re seeking an experience that dives much deeper than the usual rigidly-arranged performance, hop on and enjoy the ride.

Laura Leigh ain’t another cowboy cosplay. She was born in a field of yellow corn that seems to stretch unbroken across upstate New York. She will humor you while she tunes a string before haunting you with a song that sings to your very soul. These days you’ll find her and her boots stomping with her four piece country americana band, featuring lead guitar player Dave Lawlor’s smooth telecaster licks. Laura Leigh Band will take you back in time to a rockin’ old western saloon while Laura’s sweet voice serenades your heart strings. Don’t miss the new darling of the Capital Region music scene- you might recognize her from a late night campfire and her songs might sound like your own story.
