Did you see that Adam Gerstenberger is playing a FREE concert in Jay Square Friday evening during Art Night from 5-8 p.m.

Adam Gerstenberger is a musician from the Capital District of New York and has been active for 10 years. His main disciplines are guitar and vocals but grew up playing violin. Adam performs solo acoustic for various venues and backyard party events and brings a fun mix of nostalgic covers from artists like The Beatles, Green Day, Owl City, The Eagles, Brittany Spears, The Wood Brothers, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and more! He also likes to pepper in some flavorful original songs as well. His performances are always riddled with energy and enthusiasm that will surely have people singing along. Adam provides guitar and backing vocals to a few groups including his alt rock cover band, Timeworn, and his all original rock band, From Starlight. The later of those two groups will be releasing a brand new album by the Fall of 2026! You can find and follow Adam on Instagram at !

Make sure to stop down and see Adam play!
