SARATOGA SPRINGS — In February 2021, Saratoga Springs lost Josh Chambers. A Greenwich native and Skidmore College graduate, Chambers made a name for himself around Saratoga in the 1990s as a musician, playwright and director.
At 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 13, the Figgs will perform a show in tribute of Chambers at Caffe Lena.
The Figgs – led by Mike Gent (guitar, vocals), Pete Donnelly (bass, vocals), and Pete Hayes (drums, vocals) – originally formed in Saratoga Springs 35 years ago.
They signed with Imago in 1993, moved to Capitol in ‘95, and have since released a dozen more records on smaller labels or under the band’s own Stomper imprint. They’ve served as Graham Parker’s band for multiple tours & records, toured as the backing band for Tommy Stinson (The Replacements), and performed with a who’s who of musical fare. In 2022, the band released their 16th LP, “Chemical Shake.”
Tickets are available via caffelena.org, and a live stream of the show at: caffelena.tv.
