After 10 years of running Nanola, a successful Cajun food and live music venue in Malta, NY, Shane Spillenger has returned to Albany, NY to expand and open Ophelia’s, one of the next great live music venues in our area. For many year’s the location was known as Parish Public House. After shutting down in late 2023, Shane teamed up with Liam Bancroft to give new life to the establishment. In this episode of People and Places, we talk to Spillenger about all the exciting plans in store.
