The Park Presents: Let's Be Dead

Welcome to The Park Presents Podcast. The Park Theater is a premier entertainment venue in downtown Glens Falls, New York. Throughout the year, we present a variety of events including our highly-anticipated season that runs from September to May showcasing local and internationally touring artists - in addition to community outreach programming and so much more. Hosted by Chris Ristau (Executive Director, The Park Theater Foundation), The Park Presents will begin its journey by introducing you to the artists behind our Summer Series Concerts held at the Crandall Park Bandshell each Friday evening in July. This free concert series will feature local artists beginning at 7pm. Bring along a chair or blanket - and some friends - and enjoy! ----- This week we are chatting with Karl Bertrand (@karlbemusic) of Let’s Be Dead - a Grateful Dead Tribute band made up of members from the former group, Let’s Be Leonard. Let’s Be Dead will be the first performers in our 2022 Summer Series Concerts at the Crandall Park Bandshell on July 1st, 2022.
