June 3 - 9 - Caffe Lena

Many people have told us that a Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams show ranks among the Top 10 live concerts they’ve ever seen. Larry & Teresa are bringing their band along for this special two-night run at the Caffe on Friday and Saturday.

Greetings – If you’re a Capital Region resident who has been anywhere near a news source over the past few days, you know that this is going to a big week in Saratoga. There are special activities planned in town for Wednesday to Sunday in connection with Saturday’s Belmont Stakes race. Please plan ahead if you’re driving to the show. Here are specific tips:
1. If you’re coming to Poetry Night on Wednesday, here’s what you need to know about parking and street closures. Just think how cool you’ll feel attending a poetry reading while the rest of the world goes nuts for Blues Traveler up on Broadway. 😉
2. If you’re coming Thursday – Saturday, consider using the city’s newest parking garage, located behind the City Center on Putnam Street. If you park there, you’ll be a 3.5 block walk from Caffe Lena.
3. If you’re coming on Sunday, it’s likely the town will have settled down quite a bit and you can pursue parking per usual.

We’re wishing you all a healthy and harmonious start to your summer!

See you at the show,
Sarah

Here’s a rare opportunity to see American Roots heroes Campbell & Williams in a living room-like setting. There’s just nothing like the crackling creative energy of their decades-long union. They’re the bards of the long-term relationship, radiating love into every song they perform. Their impressive resumes include seven years in Levon Helm’s band, eight years in Bob Dylan’s band (Larry), and singing backup for Mavis Staples, Emmylou Harris and Phil Lesh (Teresa). Accompanied by their band, you’ll hear fan favorites, dark ballads and barnburners & unexpected covers.

Years before Americana music earned its own category at the Grammy Awards, Steve Forbert helped pioneer the genre’s mix of folk, roots-rock, and richly delivered storytelling. With his charismatic, raspy Southern voice, he has gone from gold records to Grammy nominations, from CBGB to Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe.
