Join us for a FREE Community Open House as we celebrate the grand opening of the new Capital Region Music Hub! This is a day for the entire community to step inside, explore our new home, and experience the future of music and community in Troy.
On Saturday, May 23rd, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, please join us for a family-friendly morning of performances, tours, and activities. Please note the following activity schedule, as this is a timed-entry event.
Event Schedule:
10:30 AM–11:30 AM: Performance: The Belle Curves (solo)
The Belle Curves is the primary creative outlet for singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Delaney Hafener. With equal parts jangle-pop and folk-rock, her songs are the result of processing both everyday living and major life changes. Versatile live shows range from solo performances to her fronting a full six-piece band. The new album "Tides & Rain" has been called "warm and authentic" by Metroland and enjoyed air time on WEXT, WKZE, WLIW-FM, and other regional independent radio. Find The Belle Curves on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.
