OPEN MIC NIGHT
For one unforgettable night, Grammy-winning songwriter and Caffè Lena Artist-in-Residence Janis Ian takes the reins as host of our legendary Open Mic.
Whether you're stepping onto the stage or cheering from the audience, this is your chance to experience one of Caffè Lena's most beloved traditions with one of folk music's greatest storytellers. Perform an original song, share a favorite tune, read a poem, or simply soak up an evening of remarkable local talent in the warm, attentive atmosphere that has made Caffè Lena's Open Mic an award-winning community tradition for more than 30 years.
PLEASE NOTE: More information to come regarding how to sign up to perform and what to expect.
Play your song on the Caffe’s famous stage! During the past three decades, Lena’s open mic has been recognized with “Best Of” awards from Metroland Magazine, The Alt Weekly, The Saratogian Reader’s Poll and Saratoga’s Fab Five. Just like at our weekend shows, all attention is focused on the stage.
