The Big Surprise at WRRV Sessions with All Time Low

WRRV Sessions with Alex from All Time Low was one of the most epic nights of 2023. If you were there, you know exactly why it was so special, but if you missed it, here's went down at Newburgh Brewing Company.

WRRV Sessions is free live music that we host every month, and this year saw a diverse mix of both established WRRV artists like lovelytheband and Justin from Blue October, as well acts like Little Image and Misterwives, who are hurdling towards superstardom. WRRV Sessions with Alex from All Time Low had the best of both worlds.

DNA Emo Night Opens for WRRV Sessions in Newburgh, NY

For the first time, WRRV Sessions kicked off with an opening DJ set from our new friends at DNA Emo Night. For nearly a decade, the duo behind Emo Night have been partying with the Hudson Valley and playing our favorite songs from one of the most angst-filled decades. The crowd (above) was ready to party as soon as they took the stage.

Before it was time for Alex from All Time Low to take the stage to perform, he sat down to talk on-air about the band's impressive 20-year career, how it feels to be responsible for creating a beautiful community of devoted fans, and the fact that it was his birthday. Of course that called for a big surprise...
