On Saturday, September 14, the Red, White, and Brew festival will go on outside Albany’s MVP Arena, honoring veterans with lots of music. The block party will take place on South Pearl Street, featuring a slate of local and nationally recognized country artists. Headlining the festival is country musician and veteran Craig Morgan.
The festival is pulling out all the stops for its first year with help from Albany County, MVP Health Care, and their Innovation Partnership. The day starts at 2 PM with a set from Amsterdam, NY’s beloved country band, Skeeter Creek. The following performance is by country singer, Darryl Worley, known for songs like “Have You Forgotten.” The final set of the day is renowned soldier-turned-country artist, Craig Morgan with hits such as, “That’s What I Love About Sunday” and “Redneck Yacht Club.”
Each artist intertwines respect and honor for anyone who has served, with country music, that is both serious and lighthearted. Whether attendees know their music or not, this lineup of performers will undoubtedly provide the perfect soundtrack to the day.
It is important to show our gratitude to those who have served this country. Serving comes with great sacrifice and great risk, and hosting events to celebrate our Veterans is a small way to show appreciation for their courage and dedication. The Red White and Brew Festival is an opportunity for Veterans and families to enjoy good company, food, and music.
