Greetings,
After nearly 48 years Caffè Lena is still moving up in the world. We've been honored as North America's "Best Small Venue" by the International Folk Alliance at it's recent gathering in Memphis. Quite an honor!
Our varied concerts this weekend reveal the big canopy of branches that have grown from the deep roots of American folk music.

| Anaïs Mitchell Friday, March 14 • 8 PM $14/12-Members www.anaismitchell.com  From her birthplace on a Vermont sheep farm to Beirut cafés, Cairo apartments and Austin recording studios, Anaïs Mitchell has been around. Her listeners hear the Virginia countryside, bathe in New Mexico moonlight and hear the world whizzing by from inside a hobo's train car. This remarkable young artist, who set out to do no more than indulge her love of language and truth, was catapulted into the national folk spotlight after capturing the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award and being signed to Righteous Babe Records. She recently completed a tour with Ani DiFranco. |

 WhippersnappersSaturday, March 15 • 8 PM $14/12-Members cdbaby.com/cd/whippersnappers Winners of Metroland's Best Acoustic Trio, 2007 “Just as precious antiques should be preserved and displayed, the melodic gems of the folk tradition need to be handed down and performed. Fiddler-banjoist George Wilson, fiddler-mandolinist Frank Orsini, and guitarist/pianist Peter Davis are the consummate curators of a marvelous musical museum bursting with Celtic fiddle tunes, old French Canadian songs, and Appalachian string-band music. In the realm of acoustic trad, the Whippersnappers rule.” -Metroland The Whippersnappers have been making music together for more than three decades. They offer stately Old-world tunes, rousing mountain music and bluegrass, and plenty of sprightly Celtic jigs and reels to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. |
