[ 3] [ 4] Capital Region musicians an opportunity to showcase their talents:
I have been to numerous festivals over the past few years and noticed some problems in them that I thought could be done better. Then I started working in the Albany area... and felt a need for an event such as this to highlight the region's talent. Albany is situated at a great crossroads; it only made sense.
