In the Round Series will return to Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs with three new concerts on April 19, May 17 and June 14.
In the Round Series has partnered with WEXT for the these three concerts with the main mission to uplift and highlight the work of various singer/songwriting artists on the rise to stardom.
The first show in this new round of concerts is New Zealand-based pop star Kimbra on April 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Great Hall. Kimbra’s 2011 debut album Vows, which was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. Kimbra exploded that same year with “Somebody That I Used To Know,” a duet with Gotye that earned her two Grammys for “Record of the Year” and “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” In 2014 she released her highly acclaimed album, The Golden Echo, recruiting artists as diverse as Thundercat, Omar-Rodriguez Lopez of The Mars Volta, Bilal and John Legend to highlight her eclectic musical style.
Next, UPH will welcome homegrown artists Jocelyn and Chris with special guest Sydney Worthley on May 17 at 7:30 p.m. Jocelyn and Chris, along with their band, charted five consecutive commercial radio singles in the Billboard AAA Top 40, took two records to number one on the Relix Jambands top 30, and appeared nationally on NBC’s Today Show. The siblings, both recent graduates of Harvard University, have recorded eight albums and toured coast to coast.
Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift are two singer-songwriters who inspire Sydney Worthley. In her debut single,”How Soon Is Now?”, the singer talks about heartbreak, losing all emotion, grieving for a departed loved one, and the fallout from modifying who you are to suit the requirements of another person. In 2020, Sydney released her EP project Rose Colored Glasses, which features different themes like learning from past mistakes, coming of age, and long-lost friendships.
Also announced is Shayna Steele and Buggy Jive on June 14. Steele, claimed to be one of the greatest singing sensations of our time, will be featuring her third album Watch Me Fly, offering six self-penned originals and four select classics ranging from soul, blues and gospel and easily crossing over to retro R&B and jazz. Joining her is Buggy Jive, a soul rock singer-songwriter from Upstate New York.
Buggy was recently honored as a 2023 “Top Shelf” Tiny Desk Contest finalist and his latest release The Ghost of Alexander, was named Album of the Year at Upstate New York’s 2023 “Eddie” Awards as well as recently opening for Macy Gray’s recent tour stop in Troy.
