Countdown to LarkFEST

Also appearing on the Hometown Stage will be Marcus Ruggiero. Ruggiero is not your average singer songwriter, his struggle to find his identity through music in an Italian family with eleven children in Schenectady shaped his sound.



His songs of both the beauty and darkness of life have resulted in several recordings and can be heard on radio stations throughout the country, as well as in live performances as a soloist and with his band. Ruggiero's latest project, American Car, showcases his rich vocal artistry and insistent guitar playing.
