Watch on Caffe Lena TV

Our resident Jazz Master Chuck Lamb has selected saxophonist Lucas Pino for this month’s special guest. Pino will be working with Lamb on piano, Harvey Sorgen on drums, and Jay Anderson on bass. As one of NYC’s top sax players, Pino is an exciting choice. Pino won the Downbeat award for Best Instrumental Soloist when he was still in high school. He went on to study at the Brubeck Institute, The New School and Juilliard. He fronts No Net Nonet, his NYC ensemble that plays weekly at Smalls. Pino’s tone, groove and simplicity get high marks from jazz critics, peers and audiences. Should be a great night!

Formed in Scotland and now based in the USA, Cantrip takes a bold approach to Scots tradition. Fiddle, pipes, guitar and ballad singing carry the audience through a range of moods, from thunderous instrumentals to tender ballads to joyful cultural celebration. So good to have authentic Celtic music back on our stage!

The great Chris Smither is back! This is a twice-postponed show that was originally scheduled for the ill-fated month of March, 2020. Smither, a spare and brilliant lyricist and unparalleled guitarist, will carry us through this moment that contains celebration, hope, and no small measure of continued uncertainty.

Bright Series: Alisa Amador
In-person tickets
Watch on Caffe Lena TV
The Bright Series features emerging musicians who are making waves in the national music scene, getting buzz from reviewers, climbing the radio charts, and starting to pack houses in the cities. Always, it’s the performer’s first show in our area and Caffe Lena fans can say, “I heard her when she was just getting started.” This month’s pick, Alisa Amador, had a headstart as the daughter of professional, bilingual global musicians. She began singing on stage in Spanish and English at age five and went on to study classical guitar. In the last few years she has emerged as a singer-songwriter with a soft, folk-jazz aesthetic and pure voice that makes folk music fans swoon. Please find a moment stillness to listen to the song linked to her photo. There’s a lot of wisdom in this young soul.
