WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PICKERS\, AND WE LOVE PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW FOR LISTENERS!THERE ARE NO PRE-SHOW RESERVATIONS FOR THE JAMS! SUGGESTED DONATION AT THE DOOR. $5.00 per person Our jams are all about sharing songs\, making new friends\, and enjoying a relaxing and casual evening of irresistible string band music. ALL are welcome to join the circle for an afternoon or evening playing and listening to classic grass\, new grass and folk favorites. We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. Red Spruce and Adirondack Song Dogs will kick off each session with a few tunes then open the floor for musicians to lead their favorite bluegrass tunes and folk music\, backed up by the other pickers in the gathering. Simple tunes are always popular! So sharpen up your axe\, come prepared with your song\, and let us hear some good old fast\, high and lonesome\, some slow and low\, or a good old favorite. All are welcome! What is a Slow Jam? It is a group of string instrument players and singers who get together to have fun making music. The “slow” modifier indicates that it is targeted to the following musicians: people who have been playing solo and want to get used to playing in a group setting: people who have just learned how to play and want to play with others; people who have instruments that have been gathering dust for a “few” years; experienced players who are trying out playing instruments other than their primary instrument; people who are comfortable playing their instrument but want to become more comfortable singing/leading a song.. The tunes are played at 80 to 110 BPM and usually in basic keys such a G\, A\, D\, C major\, but it always sounds great to play in some minor keys such as “a”\, “e”\, and “g”. We will try to avoid “jam busters.” It is our hope that after this experience you will feel more comfortable playing at the many open jams and open mics that can be found in our area. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Doors Open\n Doors Open: 7:30 pm \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n Member\n $27.11\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $30.37\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $15.18\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Similar Events\n \n View All\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play featuring Joel Brown and Peter Madcat Ruth\n\n American Roots\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 26 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour\n\n American Roots\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 31 • 12 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Rory Block\n\n Blues\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 31 • 8 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-4/2025-03-06/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250306T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250306T210000 DTSTAMP:20250302T034052Z CREATED:20250204T211345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250302T034052Z UID:10003270-1741287600-1741294800@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:May Erlewine DESCRIPTION:Blues \n\n \n Share:\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRaw vulnerability and empowered resilience.
