All are Welcome! 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.

We are very excited to invite you to an unforgettable evening with Humbird, the innovative musical project led by Minnesota-based singer-songwriter Siri Undlin. Celebrated for her evocative storytelling and genre-blending sound, Humbird has captivated audiences nationwide. Siri Undlin's journey from church choirs and traditional Irish ensembles to global folklore research has culminated in a unique musical style that seamlessly fuses folk, Americana, and rock. Undlin's songs delve into themes of love, loss, and societal introspection, offering a candid reflection on contemporary life.​ Her debut album, Pharmakon (2019), received critical acclaim and amassed over 20 million streams, establishing her as a formidable presence in the indie music scene. This performance highlights Humbird's latest album, Right On, released on April 12, 2024. Departing from her earlier contemplative folk musings, Right On showcases a more electric and playful side, reflecting Undlin's exploration of uncertainty and the human experience. Tracked live to tape over two weeks in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the album captures the raw energy and authenticity that define Humbird's sound. ​ Experience a blend of electrified, gritty Midwest Americana infused with whimsical, soundscape improvisations, and immerse yourself in Humbird's evocative melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness Humbird's compelling artistry in the intimate setting of Caffè Lena, and experience firsthand the dynamic energy and heartfelt storytelling that have enthralled audiences across the country.​ Sample Song ﻿The Bright Series is made possible by a generous gift from Kevin & Claudia Bright. Stream this show live at CaffeLenaTV. Enjoy two weeks of access with your live stream ticket.
