Greetings – Mazel Tov Cocktail Party and the Mamou Playboys, Griffin House and Duke Robillard–what an amazing week! These artists are all out to create a space where people can get reconnected with each other and with themselves. Have you noticed the positive effect of music on people? When you leave a concert, do you feel like your load has been lightened? I notice that people speak more freely after a good show. They stand closer to each other. Their eyes cast around at the crowd, looking for a reflection of their experience in the faces of others. They find it, and it feels good. Check out this week’s wonderful line-up and find a show that fits you. Our musicians, volunteers and staff look forward to welcoming you!
See you at the show,
Sarah

He spikes his pop/rock music with a dose of rootsy, atmospheric Americana. His humble authenticity and ability to stir emotions brings the audience in close. American Songwriter raves, “If you are looking to be blown away by raw talent, then look no further than Griffin House.”

MEMBERS’ CORNER
One of the really special things members make possible is Caffe Lena On the Road, which delivers live music to folks who don’t have the resources or the good health to attend shows at the Caffe. During the month of June, Caffe Lena On the Road delivered shows to AIM Services, Saratoga Bridges, Saratoga Children’s Museum, Cambridge Assisted Living Facility, Hive of Hope in Albany, and New Choices in Schenectady. There were sing-alongs, dance-alongs and plenty of smiles. Thank you for making this unqiue program possible.

Caffe Lena has nearly 1,000 active members. These folks are planting songs and growing community with their annual donations. They also get the best seats in the house, early access to special shows and some neat swag. Learn More
