Albert and his band will perform tracks from the album as well as many classic Blue Oyster Cult songs.
A meet and greet with Albert and the band will take place immediately after the performance!

Songwriter Jean-Paul Vest has seen the Washington Senators play baseball. He’s broken his right thumb, baled hay, driven a forklift, learned algebra in French, walked in the painted desert, and been stung in the head by a large, angry hornet. His music sounds like it. He’s also happily married with three great kids and some amazing friends. His music sounds like that, too. His albums with his band Last Charge of the Light Horse have charted as high as #1 on college radio stations across the country.
The guitar-bass-drums roots rock of the band’s early releases has increasingly mixed with a willingness to experiment with varied styles and arrangements, to the point where guitarist Bob Stander’s scorching guitar solo at the end of “Spoken” sounds right at home next to the banjo and tablas on “The Bill Comes Due.” Those seeking a haunting clarinet solo or a bright trumpet fanfare need look no farther. And while keen listeners may notice the unusual time signatures (7/4, 5/4, 11/8), the music is deeply rooted in the songwriting traditions of 60s and 70s rock, folk, and pop.
Blotto Fest will celebrate the popular rock band Blotto, formed in 1978 in Albany, NY, which was known for blending music with sharp humor, goofy charm, and a playful stage persona. The band became a cult favorite in the early 1980s, with songs like “I Wanna Be a Lifeguard” and MTV-era visibility helping spread their offbeat comedy-rock appeal.
Mount Siani, NY Musician and Blotto band member Bill Polchinski, AKA Broadway Blotto (the only band member from Long Island), will host the event where performers will share the stage playing memorable songs and deep cuts from Blotto. It aims to launch a fun annual tradition celebrating the band’s humor and musical legacy.
