(audience applauding and cheering) - Hello and welcome to Expressions.

I'm your host, Adara Alston.

For tonight's episode, we are featuring a classic concert from 2020, featuring Maddy Walsh and The Blind Spots.

This group has energized the Ithaca region for over a decade with their infectious brand of indie music that they have dubbed Moxy Rock.

In addition to leading the group, Maddy also designs their stage outfits, and as you are about to see, they made our TV studio sparkle.

Here is Maddy and The Blind Spots performing "Pink Water" from their studio album "Talk."
