SHOWS 1960-2024
Caffè Lena has chronicled every show that has livened up our historic venue since 1960. This list was started by historian Brett Bydairk, and we can’t thank him enough for his contributions. Since Brett’s passing, volunteer Eric Rosenberg has kept up this record.
The shows below are archived as of the launch of our new website in February 2025. For more historical data, please follow the link on the left to Bydairk’s list of shows.
