In the spotlight
December 3, 2009 Alta Mira

Capital Region up-and-comer Alta Mira is throwing a party Saturday night to celebrate the release of its new self-titled CD, but it's not all about Alta Mira. This show features a number of prominent artists; Railbird, Matthew Loiacono and Matt Durfee.

In fact, the event is billed as "the Alta Mira CD Release Experiment."

There will be cutting-edge 360-degree video being filmed, and large-scale sculpture and light-based installations will be interspersed throughout the venue. Collaboration will be the underlying theme of the evening.

That and music. Recorded at Barefoot Studios in Massachusetts over a two-year period, the new album shows that the band -- Tommy Krebs (drums, mandolin, piano, vocals) Hunter Sagehorn (guitar, banjo, slide, piano vocals) August Sagehorn (bass, vocals) and Joe Michon-Huneau (vocals) -- have taken it up a level since 2007's "Fables and Fabrications."

From the riveting "Tambourine," soothing "Sinker/Or," sinister "Slumberjack" and the layered "Harder The Fall," as a unit Alta Mira has grown far more compelling and intriguing, as singer Michon-Huneau has come into his own with his impassioned delivery and conviction.

At a recession-friendly $10, this could be the party of the year. Don't miss it.

When: 8 p.m. Saturday
Where: Revolution Hall, 425 River St., Troy
Tickets: $10
Info: 274-0553; http://www.revolutionhall.com/
