With her deep love for heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies\, Joanne has chosen songs that spotlight the craft of storytelling through music. Expect a mix of familiar voices and new discoveries that capture the spirit of summer and the soul of the song. The D.J. spinning those records will be the Rochmon himself –  Chuck “Rochmon” Vosganian will be spinning the records and getting the conversation flowing. \n \nAll 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.  Bring a brown bag lunch. Coffee and tea are provided. \n \nThe 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.  \n \nEnjoy 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: 3:30 pm	\n	 \n \n	\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$70.49\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$73.75\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$36.87\n					\n				\n						\n				 \n				inclusive of fees\n			\n		\n	 \n \n	\n					\n				Get Tickets			\n					\n				Streaming\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		Livingston Taylor with opener Alex Radus\n\n				Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 2 • 8 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Folk Heritage Series: Eric Andersen Acoustic Duo with Steve Addabbo\n\n				Folk Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 8 • 8 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Skidmore Songwriters\n\n				Multi-act Program Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 10 • 2 PM

The band’s latest release\, their first all-original album\, Make Each Second Last\, has received rave reviews and has so far yielded an unprecedented eight consecutive #1 songs\, including the title track “We Needed This Ride.” Their song\, “Riding the Chief\,” co-written by Chris and Thomm Jutz\, was nominated for 2022 IBMA Song of the Year. They have topped both the Bluegrass Today and Roots Music Review airplay charts with the latest album. In July of 2022\, they made their debut on The Grand Ole Opry. Their new EP is Pages in Your Hand\, has also yielded two more #1 songs\, including the title track. \nSAMPLE SONG \n“When I first heard Chris Jones over 25 years ago he became one of my favorite singers\, and he continues to have one of the most distinctive and best voices in music\, period.
