🔥 LIVE AT PARK THEATER HUDSON 🔥
📅 May 8, 2026 | ⏰ 8PM
🎟 /event/the_upsides
A stacked night of Hudson Valley + NYC talent you won’t want to miss 🎸✨
🎶 **THE UPSIDES**
NYC indie rockers blending irresistible 90s jangle pop with punchy early-2000s guitar energy. With a new, heavier sonic direction on the horizon, their live show is evolving in all the right ways—hooky, emotional, and electric.
🌌 **WILL HANZA**
A boundary-pushing improviser taking you from blues and folk to raga, funk, and cosmic jams. Expect a hypnotic, genre-spanning set from a seasoned player with deep roots in the jam scene.
🌿 **JACK MANLEY**
Hudson Valley singer/songwriter making a powerful return with his new solo project. Blending raw emotional honesty with shimmering indie-rock textures, his story and sound hit deep. Backed by a full band, this is a must-see rising local act.
🎟 Join us for an unforgettable night of live music in Hudson.

Who’s ready for @escapermusic & @canopylive 10.4 at @parkcitymusichall 🪐
Deep kinetic grooves take you to outer space, elevate your soul and liberate your mind.
Piloted by the broadly influenced, stage-seasoned pair of Will Hanza (guitar, vocals) and Phil Kadet (keys, vocals), Ropeadope Records recording artists Escaper blend Rock, R&B, Jazz, Funk and Electronica into cohesive, soul-stirring, jam-filled soundscapes. The duo are complemented by a cadre of in-demand drummers and bassists. Heavy grooving bassist Luke Bemand (lespecial) in particular, is a key contributor and collaborator.
With the belief that music is meant for taking risks, Canopy brings a raw, unfiltered approach to the live music scene. Their sound combines the core elements of rock, funk, blues, and jazz and infuses them with deep psychedelia and hard-hitting, no-rules improvisation. Tight and loose in all the right ways.
We return to @parkcitymusichall this Saturday, co-headlining with our pals, @canopylive
Here is a clip from our last show! The full video of this song is on our utoobs (see link'n'bio)

@escapermusic threw down so hard for their cabin set that I had to press against the window from the outside like a kid looking longingly into a toy store 😮
