On July 23, 2025, the Capital Concert Series brought back Lit to the Empire State Plaza for a free outdoor summertime show. Plush, led by local favorite daughter Moriah Formica, teamed up with them to ensure this was a particularly energetic Wednesday in Albany.

Plush bassist, Ashley Suppa was an absolute show-stealer. Draped in bold red lingerie leggings and armed with a low-end thump that could level buildings. She played with ferocity, attitude and style. Turning heads while she was shaking speakers.
