For June’s Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour\, longtime sound engineer and resident photographer Joe Deuel takes the reins. Drawing on five decades behind the board and behind the lens at Caffè Lena\, Joe will share a playlist of favorite artists along with personal stories and unforgettable moments from his unique vantage point. The D.J. spinning those records will be the Rochmon himself –Chuck Vosganian! All are welcome to gather at Lena’s from Noon to 1 PM on the last Friday of each month to enjoy musical memories and new discoveries. The playlist is selected by a different community member each month from the Captain Fun Listening Library of vinyl records in Lena’s lobby. Chuck “Rochmon” Vosganian usually spins the records and gets the conversation flowing. Bring a brown bag lunch. Coffee and tea are provided. The Captain Fun Listening Library occupying the north wall in the Caffè Lena lobby is comprised of 1\,516 vinyl albums and several hundred CDs selected from Al “Captain Fun” McKenney’s expertly curated collection. This treasure trove of folk\, blues and jazz was left us in 2015 and we share it through our monthly listening hour\, as Al wished.  Enjoy the memories these records bring back\, and dig deep into American roots music.  \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 Peak Jazz Series: Charlie Ballantine\n\n American Roots Folk Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Apr 30 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Roy Book Binder Tribute / Live Stream\n\n American Roots Blues Country Folk\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n May 1 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Livingston Taylor with opener Alex Radus\n\n Singer Songwriter\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n May 2 • 4 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/captain-fun-lunchtime-listening-hour-4/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/image-16.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250627T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250627T220000 DTSTAMP:20260429T212255 CREATED:20250430T171047Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250623T005514Z UID:10003702-1751054400-1751061600@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Jim Gaudet & the Railroad Boys DESCRIPTION:Singer Songwriter \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\nIf you’ve never attended a performance by Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys\, you’re missing out on one of the Capital Region’s true musical treasures. Since 2006\, The Railroad Boys—comprised of singer/songwriter Jim Gaudet on guitar\, Bobby Buckley on bass and backing vocals\, Sten Isachsen on mandolin and backing vocals\, Sara Milonovich or Tucker Callander on fiddle\, and ‘Upstate’ Richie Pagano on piano—have been playing festivals and venues\, big and small\, all over the country. Their original music\, driving energy\, and camaraderie have attracted many a guest artist over the years\, and in January 2023\, the group welcomed bassist Bob Buckley into the fold. \n \nJim Gaudet writes nearly all The Railroad Boys songs\, but pinning down the band’s genre can be tricky. Although it started out bluegrass\, its style has morphed over time into what Gaudet calls “hillbilly rock ‘n roll.” Still\, limiting this band to just one label seems a disservice because\, in his songwriting\, Gaudet does it all: Americana-roots\, classic and outlaw country\, Southern rock\, honky-tonk\, blues\, Cajun. You name it\, he’s probably done it. In fact\, last April at the 4th annual Capital Region Thomas Edison (aka Eddies) Music Awards ceremony at Proctors Mainstage\, Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys were honored to win Country/Bluegrass Artist of the Year for the third time\, 2024\, 2023 and 2022. Along with this outstanding honor Jim was selected as performer of the year 2024 by RadioRadio X for the "Listen Up" awards in the Folk/Bluegrass category. \n \nGaudet has a uniquely animated\, conversational style of singing\, his tone every bit as original as the songs he writes. Clear diction\, an abundance of good humor\, and vocal inflections that follow each song’s emotional arc make you feel like you’re talking with a good friend over the back fence. Gaudet can growl\, yowl\, even yodel with the best of them\, and when he belts out a snappy “Hey!” between verses\, you can feel the room’s energy surge. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
