Alive @ Five with Middle Aged Dad Jam Band with Wild Adriatic

Folks, who's in the mood for some Jam band music?

Albany’s signature free concert series premiered in the summer of 1990 has since grown into a staple of summer in the Capital Region. Showcasing a diverse lineup of big names, up-and-coming acts and the region’s most talented original artists, Alive at Five offers six weeks of free, critically acclaimed performances catering to nearly every taste.

Middle Aged Dad Jam Band (MADJB) is a band featuring comedians and actors Ken Marino and David Wain, known for their comedic performances and classic rock covers. They incorporate humor and banter between songs, often referencing their comedy backgrounds and involving guest appearances. The band plays a mix of well-known classic rock songs, sometimes with a comedic twist, and has featured guest musicians like Weird Al Yankovic, Kristen Bell, and Craig Wedren.

Wild Adriatic has received strong positive reviews for their latest album, described as a bold step forward, blending blues, soul, and fresh ideas. The band's live performances are also lauded for their dynamic energy and the musicians' strong stage presence. Unfortunately, Wild Adriatic, has announced their disbandment after nearly 15 years of making music. Only four shows left.
