Park Theater Foundations Announces 2nd Adirondack Americana Music Series

The Park Theater Foundation announces its second free Adirondack Americana music series held at The Hub in Brant Lake, NY throughout September and October 2025.

Adirondack Americana Live at The Hub:

The Park Theater Foundation presents Adirondack Americana 2025 – a free bi-weekly outdoor music series live at The Hub in Brant Lake, NY from September 13th to October 11th, 2025.

In partnership with The Hub, Adirondack Americana brings together attendees from all over the Northeast to enjoy the outdoors and experience high-quality live music performances. This year’s series showcases an all-female-led roster of regional folk, rock, and Americana headliners, with special guests joining each performance.

This is a FREE music series with performances beginning at 3pm.

“I can’t think of a better setting for a concert – at the base of Brant Lake, at the foot of Bartonville Mountain with food and craft drinks. It all makes for a perfect fall afternoon and I’m proud to be a part of it.” – The Park Theater Foundation’s Executive Director, Chris Ristau

Now entering into its second year, Adirondack Americana stemmed from the success of The Park Theater Foundation’s Summer Concert Series held every July and August at the Crandall Park Bandshell in Glens Falls, NY. These free outreach programs serve to enhance the accessibility of the arts within our local communities.

2025 Adirondack Americana Lineup:

Saturday, 09/13 – Angelina Valente w/ Special Guest: Josh Clevenstine

Influenced by her small-town roots and love of nature, her music blends poetic storytelling with piano and ukulele, creating a sound that is both timeless and refreshingly modern. She creates a captivating, intimate experience that draws audiences in and leaves them inspired.In just five years, Angelina has gone from open-mic nights to selling out shows across the Capital Region. Her journey has taken her to some of the country’s most esteemed studios, including Village Studios in L.A. and Atlantic Records Studio in NYC. Her latest album, Sing (released in November 2023), earned her three major accolades: Songwriter of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year for the New York Capital Region. “Authentic & sincere” – her music is deeply personal, with a true and honest voice.

Saturday, 09/27 – Caity & The Gallaghers w/ Special Guest: John Coleman

Since beginning solo performances in 2019, Caity has brought her original music and thoughtfully arranged covers to festivals, breweries, music halls, and backyards. Her authenticity and joy in performing is evident no matter the stage. She has released two EPs, “Happens All the Time” (2020) and “Something Worth Remembering (2022)” as well as a live album with her dear friends and bandmates “Caity & the Gallaghers – Live in Albany” (2023).

Carolyn Shapiro is an old-time banjo player and songwriter from upstate New York whose music nourishes the spirit like a hearty, home-cooked meal. Blending sultry nuance with deep-rooted traditional style, her songwriting pushes the boundaries of the banjo, creating a catalog of songs that feel both timeless and entirely her own. With a rich tapestry of folk influences and lyrics that balance wit with emotional depth, Carolyn invites listeners into an intimate journey through the complexities of being human. Her commanding voice and resonant banjo tone bring a joyous vulnerability to the stage—leaving audiences not just entertained, but genuinely restored and inspired. Though originally on the path to law school, Carolyn’s trajectory changed the moment she picked up a banjo in college. Immersing herself in the vast world of folk music, she never looked back. Her 2022 debut album earned her the title of Folk Artist of the Year in New York’s Capital Region. Her sophomore release, Take it Easy (2024), recorded live with her band, captures the warmth, spontaneity, and camaraderie that define her sound – a celebration of music shared in good company. “2022 Folk Artist of the Year for the New York Capital Region.”
