Andy Falco To Play Blue Point Brewery's 1st Concert Since COVID

PATCHOGUE, NY — Grammy award winner Andy Falco of The Infamous Stringdusters will play a solo show at the Blue Point Brewpub in Patchogue for its first concert since reopening after the lifting of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

The July 1 concert will be held in the brewpub’s new beer garden.

Falco, a singer/songwriter, will play sets from “The Will of the Way,” his first solo album since 2007 that is due out on July 16, exclusively on Americana Vibes. Falco has had a number of the album’s songs for a while, but much of it was written during what he refers to as “the great pause” of 2020, according to a news release.

The concert comes on the heels of the release of the album’s first single, “Stones Unturned,” which is “a reflection of not being a little kid anymore,” learning from lessons regardless of your age, and acknowledging “that you don't have to have all the answers,” according to Falco.

“Being grounded from the road due to the pandemic, I’ve uncovered time to truly dive into songwriting in a way I never had before,” Falco said, adding, that it was a very emotional time and and it led him to ponder “a lot of questions internally like, “Why am I writing this song? What am I really trying to say?”

“I became only interested in recording songs that I felt a deep personal connection to, and the result was this album,” he said.

The Will of the Way features musicians from Long Island including Falco’s brother, Patrick on bass, and others from the local music scene including Jon Preddice and Chris Marshak. The album also features Joss Stone, the Massachusetts-based singer, Erica Leigh, as well as Dave Butler of Guster, Damian Calcagne, Cody Kilby of The Travelin’ McCourys, and Joe Russo on drums on a few songs.

Tickets can be purchased at the brewpub, or on Eventbrite.
