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	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						General\n						$120.00\n					\n				\n			\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				More Information			\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		Guitar Workshops with Bruce Thompson\n\n				Bluegrass Instructional Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 23 • 9 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Music With Miss Deb\n\n				Family Folk Instructional Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 24 • 9:30 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Clawhammer Banjo with Carolyn Shapiro\n\n				American Roots Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 28 • 3 PM

SUMMARY:Overit Home Grown Sessions: Cassandra Kubinski with opener Kelsey Dodd
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Instructional		\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\nBillboard-charting and Eddies Award-nominated singer/songwriter Cassandra Kubinski now calls Saratoga Springs home. This show finds her between the release of her sunshiney call to peace\, power and pleasure\, the single Find What Feels Good\, and upcoming cover of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now\, featuring the incredible FAB4 string quartet.  \n \nShe has shared her piano-powered songs of transformation\, freedom and connection with audiences worldwide\, from living rooms in Sydney\, Boulder\, and Santa Monica\, to arenas like Barclays Center and Mets Stadium. Locally\, she’s opened for Ben Folds at New Years Eve at City Center\, plays house concerts\, and leads musical and artist education workshops from Wildwood School in Schenectady\, to the library in Saratoga.  \n \nYou may have heard her songs on TV: Lifetime's "Dance Moms"\, ESPN's\, "First Take"\, ABC's "Splash"\, Bravo's "Real Housewives" and many more. Or maybe you've heard her voice on commercials for Midas\, Snickers\, Homegoods and dozens more.  \n \nCassandra's songwriting inspiration\, Billy Joel\, calls her "transcendent… reminiscent of the singer/songwriters of the late 70s". She looks forward to bringing a transcendent musical experience to the Caffè stage. \n \nCassandra Kubinski SAMPLE SONG Kelsey Dodd SAMPLE SONG \n \nCassandra's thrilled to bring this multi generational music experience to the Caffè stage\, highlighting up and coming actor/singer /songwriter\, 17-year-old Kelsey Dodd\, whose holiday EP\, Forever Evergreen\, Cassandra helped produce with Jim Mastrianni and Joel Moss. That EP features four holiday classics and one original co-written with Cassandra\, and reached #1 on Upcoming100’s Emerging 300 chart for two weeks and has over 120\,000 streams.  \n \nKelsey was also recently named Best Entertainer in the Capital Region by both Capital Region Living Magazine (2024\, 2025) and The Saratogian (2025). Known for her work on stage and in the studio\, Kelsey has starred in productions such as Mean Girls (Regina)\, The Addams Family (Morticia)\, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Narrator)\, appearing on both local and Off-Broadway stages. \n \nKelsey is also a frequent national anthem singer for major events\, performing for the MLB\, NFL\, NCAA\, and more. This fall\, she heads to the Boston Conservatory at Berklee to study Musical Theater.  \n \nJUST ADDED! \n \nBehind the Curtain of Creative Collaboration: An Open Conversation With The Artists \n \nThursday August 14th prior to the show. 6:15 – 7:00 PM  \n \nThere is an additional fee to attend this very special event. $25 for adults and $15 for Students or Children. \n \nAll options are on the "Get Tickets" tab on Eventbrite.  \n \nIf you are attending the Pre-Show Special Event\, please arrive by 6:00 PM \n \nJoin Billboard-charting singer/songwriter Cassandra Kubinski and Capitol Region Living "Bestie" Award Winner Kelsey Dodd in an open discussion about their creative process\, collaborating to create Kelsey's first EP "Forever Evergreen"\, and the real deal behind life as singer/songwriters and theatre artists. They'll reveal what the creative and collab process looked like both in and out of the studio\, will premiere pieces of brand new songs (with the songwriting process behind them)\, and there will be some time for open Q&A (ever wanted to know what the preparation process is for a vocalist before a show? Or how they deal with nerves/stage fright/imposter syndrome?) This is your chance to ask anything\, and hear multiple perspectives on the creative and collaborative process before these two luminous artists perform their sets!  \n \nOverit Home Grown Sessions is made possible by a generous gift from Overit – a full-service marketing and creative agency based in Upstate New York. \n \nNote: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value. Tickets purchased for the purpose of resale may be canceled without notice\, and refunds for such purchases will not be granted. \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n	\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						General\n						$120.00\n					\n				\n			\n	 \n \n	\n					\n				More Information			\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		Folk Club Kids\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Family Folk\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 22 • 10:30 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		After School Folk Ensemble with James Gascoyne and Oona Grady\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Country Folk Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 22 • 2:30 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Guitar Workshops with Bruce Thompson\n\n				Bluegrass Instructional Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 23 • 9 AM
