Sydney Worthley - Singer, Songwriter, Schenectady SummerNight opening act

At just 14 years old, Sydney Worthley released her first album. Fast-forward through the pandemic, and two more albums later, she is the opening act for the Schenectady County Summer Night free concert series on State Street, in front of thousands of fans.

The 2025 Eddy Pop Artist of the Year award-winner talks about her musical influences as a Taylor Swift fan, her time spent at Freedom Park, and her own Taylor Swift sing-a-long series to her latest album 'It Was Fun While It Lasted.'

She isn't done writing music, producing her albums, and has plans that need to be taken seriously.

She was a joy to sit down with and I think you will enjoy Sydney Worthley as she Tells Me Her Story.
