Happy Hour at The Eleven with Sydney Worthley, The Eleven, Albany, 6pm-8m

At just nine years old, Sydney Worthley already knew songwriting was her calling. Since then, every song she’s written starts in the corner of a room, and ends on a stage. Pulling inspiration from Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift, her songs tackle themes of coming of age, long lost connections, and growing from haunting mistakes. Songwriting has always been a cathartic experience for Sydney and that has remained unwavering.

Alan Cumming Uncut, Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Troy, 7pm

Alan Cumming is beyond eclectic.  His most recent projects include hosting (and slaying fashion-wise) the global cultural phenomenon The Traitors, creating a solo dance theatre piece about the Scottish bard Robert Burns, lip-synching the protagonist in a documentary and producing a podcast series about a sperm bank heist.  He will soon be seen as Sigmund Freud in the film V13, as an elderly woman with a pet crab in the Disney kids series Robogobo and heard in a duet with Gaelic rapper Griogair Labhruidh!   Perhaps not surprisingly, Time Magazine called him one of the three most fun people in show business (the others were Cher and Stanley Tucci!)

His folk songs have addressed being gay in the US military, the challenges of being disabled, radioactive frogs, and a moose’s infatuation with a cow. Pete Seeger, Rosalie Sorrels, Steve Gillette, and Priscilla Herdman are only some of the many musicians who have covered Small’s songs.
