Paintbrush Charlie (Julia Alsarraf, Brendan Tompkins, Katy Chau-Westfall) is a pop-punk-adjacent trio based in Troy, New York. They create high-energy performances of punchy yet tender songs that hit you straight in your feelings.

About Upbeat on the Roof

Upbeat on the Roof is the Tang Museum’s a free, outdoor summer concert series on the grounds of the museum. The series highlights regional musical talent in an array of styles. Concerts take place on the lawn outside the Tang (we outgrew the roof!) every Thursday evening from July 9 through August 20 at 6 pm, and are free and open to the public. Visitors are invited to bring blankets, camping chairs, and their own food and drink!

Crafts on the Grass

Tang Art Educators offer crafts for kids at every concert, starting at 5:30! A different craft will be available each week. All projects are suitable for children aged 5 and up, with adult supervision recommended. Materials will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
