Greg Bell’s 70th Birthday Bash w/ Hilltop and Side-B

Greg Bell’s 70th Birthday Bash: To celebrate Greg Bell’s 70th birthday, he’s inviting friends, family and all music fans to a free Albany show, featuring Hilltop and Side-B.

Over the past five years, Hilltop has made a name for themselves with carefully crafted originals, mind bending improvisation & fun, diverse covers. Each member offers a proficient, unique approach to their instrument that defines the musical experience. This band of young musicians is eager to spread their music and continues to engage crowds wherever they go.

Albany’s Side-B is a four-piece alternative rock band who formed in their early teenage years and began performing at local music venues across the Capital Region. They bonded over a shared love for classic rock acts like Led Zeppelin and The Police along with modern alternative bands like Weezer and Vampire Weekend. With recent performances that range from Albany’s Tulip Festival to opening slots for Lit at the Empire State Plaza and for Mihali at Alive at 5, the band has received local recognition and acclaim since their formation. The Nippertown “March Music Madness” winners have also been nominated for Times Union’s Best Local Music Group and the Eddies Music Award for Best Alt/Indie artist of the year.
