The performance takes place on the lawn outside the Tang. Bring picnic blankets, camping chairs, and your own food and drink to make it a night! Kids can get craft kits from Tang Art Educators at every concert starting at 5:30. 2060Oobleck is a high-octane, five-piece funk band that’s been playing around the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and Vermont since 2008. They play grungy original horn funk inspired by the after-dark variety of New Orleans street music. It’s a melee of horns, super heavy drums and bass, and your favorite type of chunky guitar riffing that leaves your bum shaking and your face grinning. Highly improvised, kinetic, effect-soaked horns create textural soundscapes with razor sharp horn lines. The vibe is high-energy and dance-focused. “Sometimes they pump out the stone-cold soul-funk of the JBs. Sometimes they veer into the Afro-funk of Fela Kuti. And sometimes…they head off into Frank Zappa’s Grand Wazoo territory” (Nippertown).About Upbeat on the RoofUpbeat on the Roof is the Tang Museum’s a free, outdoor summer concert series on the grounds of the museum.

Shapiro and her band return to the Tang after their debut Upbeat on the Roof performance in 2022. The performance takes place on the lawn outside the Tang. Bring picnic blankets, camping chairs, and your own food and drink to make it a night! Kids can get craft kits from Tang Art Educators at every concert starting at 5:30. 2060Carolyn Shapiro is an old-time banjo player and songwriter from the Southern Adirondacks whose music feeds the soul like a home-cooked meal. Blending a soulful, contemporary edge with deep-rooted traditional style, her songwriting pushes the boundaries of the banjo and explores the intimate complexities of being human. As a performer, Carolyn uses her music as a tool for connection, education, and inspiration. She brings a joyous vulnerability to the stage, leaving audiences feeling genuinely restored. Though originally on the path to law school, Carolyn’s trajectory changed the moment she picked up a banjo at Skidmore College. She found her voice while working at Caffè Lena, honing her craft at their weekly open mics before emerging as a standout in the folk scene. Since then, she has released two EPs and was named Folk Artist of the Year for the New York Capital Region in both 2022 and 2026. Her highly anticipated first full-length studio album is set for release this fall.About Upbeat on the RoofUpbeat on the Roof is the Tang Museum’s a free, outdoor summer concert series on the grounds of the museum.

Blassingame, a professor at Scripps College, will reflect on her work as proprietor of Primrose Press, exploring how printmaking and book arts can promote discussion of issues of race, racism, memory, and history. Drawing on recent artist’s book projects such as African American: A Handbook, White: A Handbook, and The Benefits of Slavery, she will examine how material form, typography, and process reveal hidden narratives that encourage questioning of inherited assumptions. Blassingame considers the printing press as both witness and tool and will trace how ink carries histories forward while opening space to imagine more just and expansive futures. She invites the audience to consider how the pages of an artist’s book record histories, carry memory, and open space for reflection.Maggie Greaves will now be in charge of the Fox-Adler Lecture series with Catherine Golden's retirement this May.
