Due to the forecast of inclement weather, the free Capital Concert Series performance featuring Wild Adriatic and Super 400 that was scheduled for August 18 at the Empire State Plaza has been rescheduled to Wednesday, September 1, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Wild Adriatic has built an international audience on a combination of groove, grit, and guitar-heavy swagger. Whittled into sharp shape by a touring schedule that’s kept them busy for roughly 250 days a year — including several European tours, countless stateside runs, and appearances at festivals like Bonnaroo & Mountain Jam. With plenty of new songs and dance-party inciting jams, Wild A brings with it the next level of the explosive & fun live performance that gained them early acclaim.

Named after the iconic Gibson guitar, Super 400 is Troy’s fabled rock trio. Known all over the world for their telekinetic jams and big love, the band was formed by longtime friends Kenny Hohman (guitar and vocals) and Joe Daley (drums) and played in various incarnations throughout New York City and Woodstock. The lineup would not be finalized until the addition of bassist Lori Friday in February 1996. Back home, the mayor of Troy gave Super 400 their own official holiday on February 25, “Super 400 Day!”

The 2021 Capital Concert series presented by SEFCU features free performances on Wednesdays at the Empire State Plaza.
