Playing Albany

THE EAGLE: A Times Union Podcast

The first time Cracker frontman David Lowery played Albany, it was the winter of 1986 and temperatures were below freezing. Since then, he has rocked New York's capital city during warmer weather, and will be returning once more July 12 to play the Empire State Plaza. On this episode of "The Eagle," Lowery joins us to talk about life, music and playing Albany.

Also on this episode, we unpack what happened to the Albany Empire arena football team, and why their season was cut short with 7 games to go.
