The Lift Concert Series presents performances of new, independent music featuring regional performers, curated by Organ Colossal: Sam Torres and Sophia Subbayya Vastek. The audience is invited to be seated on stage, with the musicians, creating an intimate concert experience. Concerts are designed to last about an hour and, after the performance, concert-goers are encouraged to enjoy the rest of the evening at one of Troy’s many restaurants or breweries.  

Zan and The Winter Folk is an Americana band performing anthems for the revivalists, lullabies for the lonely, and ballads for the hopeful. The Winter Folk blend an upbeat, rootsy spirit with a melodic longing and vulnerability in their storytelling.
