TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Ryan’s Wake Public House in Troy is bringing back its “Wake Up Wednesdays” free outdoor concert series for the second year. The series also kicks off free music season for the Capital Region.
“Last year was like getting the band back together,” said Ryan’s Wake General Manager Jared Kingsley. “We had so much fun we decided to do it again.”
The concerts take place on Wednesday nights starting at 5 p.m. The concerts go on rain or shine but will be moved inside in case of bad weather.
“It’s called ‘Wake Up Wednesdays’ but you’ll also be able to wake up on Thursday because you don’t have to stay out too late,” said Kingsley.
