For Lindsay Dragan, the best part of being a musician is playing in front of a crowd.
“That’s when I feel most alive,” she said.
There hasn’t been much opportunity for that in the past year, but Dragan and her Pittsburgh-based band at least will be able to get onstage again as the first performers in “The VIP Experience (Virtually in The Palace),” a free Thursday night livestream concert series.
Presented by Westmoreland Cultural Trust, the weekly concerts, beginning Jan. 28 and running through March 25, will feature regional bands playing original songs from The Palace Theatre stage.
Shows will be available for viewing on The Palace Theatre and Westmoreland Cultural Trust Facebook pages. A free preview concert featuring folk/rock singer-songwriter Alan Getto is available until Jan. 28 on those pages.
