The Egg Presents: Soccer Mommy, The Egg, Albany, 8pm

Sophie Allison has always written candidly about her life, making Soccer Mommy one of indie rock’s most interesting and beloved artists of the last decade. Allison has used Soccer Mommy’s songs as a vehicle to sort through the thoughts and encounters that inevitably come with the reality of growing up. After all, Soccer Mommy began as a bedroom-to-Bandcamp exercise with teenage Allison posting her plaintive songs as demos. Over the years, though, she has often enhanced that sound, using the endless production possibilities, newly at her fingertips, to outstrip singer-songwriter stereotypes. The records would start with songwriting’s kernels of truth, and she would then imagine all the unexpected shapes they could take. Every Soccer Mommy record has felt like a surprise.

Some Ways to Keep Workshop #1 – Hana van der Kolk, Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Troy, 2:30pm

In these public workshops we will do an accessible, physical warm up, learn and practice some modes for creating altars/arrangements with found objects on our own and together, explore simple songs and ways of improvising with sound as a group, and engage in movement-based practices that bring all of the elements of the workshop together. Through our collaborative work, we will awaken enchantment and become more intimate with ourselves, one another, and the energy of the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. These workshops are open to anyone and will be adaptable to all bodies. No previous dance or performance experience is necessary. You can take one of the workshops or both; they will be related to one another and different from one another. Wear layers of clothing that you are comfortable moving in and bring a notebook if you like (paper and pens also provided).

Lunar New Year Gala Show, The Egg, Albany, 2:30pm

In Chinese folk culture, the snake was once the earliest totem of the Chinese nation and so has been called the ancestor god. Goddess Nuawa, who used her own body to fix the falling sky to save humankind on earth, has a human head and snake body.

As one of the traditional Chinese zodiac signs, the snake follows the dragon and is often called the “little dragon.” 2025 is the Year of the Green Snake, so it is also known as the “Little Green Dragon” year. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake symbolizes wisdom, charm, elegance, and transformation. Those born in the Year of the Snake are often regarded as intuitive, strategic, and intelligent.
