CONCERT: Ryan Montbleau Solo $The desire for connection, or a true human bond, is a recurring theme in Montbleau’s writing, and his songs have a way of weaving themselves into the fabric of listeners’ lives, offering up hope and light in moments of darkness and doubt. Montbleau’s live shows are nothing if not communal affairs, reaching out a helping hand out for anyone struggling through hard times. Visit ryanmontbleau.com.

This concert will also be livestreamed on Facebook at “MVCC Cultural Series.”

CONCERT: Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root with Dirk Miller $In addition to the full band (Rusted Root, the multi-platinum band out of Pittsburgh), Glabicki strips down to the bare essentials on a duo tour where he and long-time bandmate Dirk Miller take the old Rusted Root favorites along with new material and perform re-envisioned versions of them in an up close and intimate setting. A multifaceted musician, producer and songwriter, Glabicki’s talents are unique and extremely uplifting. Visit michaelglabicki.com.

The MVCC Cultural Series, one of the biggest entertainment series in the Mohawk Valley, is known for bringing world-class lectures, concerts, comedy, theater, and more to our community. The pandemic has forced us to cancel or scale down many events, but we adapted by making some events virtual and even hosting small socially distanced events when possible. During this time, we’ve discovered some ways to improve upon the Series, such as the addition of virtual components, which can give our events more reach.
