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:Bright Series: Kassi Valazza
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\nKassi Valazza’s music shimmers with emotional honesty\, painting vivid scenes of longing\, transition\, and resilience with a Southwestern hue and a Pacific Northwest ache. With a voice both smoky and tender\, Valazza writes songs that reckon with stagnation\, anxiety\, and growth—charting a path through the repetition of life’s harder lessons and into the light of transformation. \n \nRaised in Arizona\, trained in art school\, and forged in Portland’s roots scene\, Kassi found her voice through experience and trial\, quietly building a cult following with her previous albums Dear Dead Days and Kassi Valazza Knows Nothing. Now hailed as one of folk-Americana’s most compelling new voices\, she has shared the stage with artists like Melissa Carper and Riddy Arman\, and earned praise from NPR\, KEXP\, and MOJO. \n \nHer newest album\, From Newman Street\, follows that arc with poetic precision. Written half in Portland and half in New Orleans\, the record traces her personal evolution with striking vulnerability and lyrical grace. From the haunting lilt of “Weight of the Wheel” to the Joni Mitchell–tinged wit of “Your Heart’s a Tin Box\,” Valazza lays bare the highs and lows of self-discovery\, love\, and letting go.  \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nJoin us for an unforgettable night with an artist whose songs don’t just tell stories—they reveal truths. With each performance\, Kassi Valazza invites listeners into a world of deep feeling\, gentle strength\, and unwavering authenticity. \n \nThe Bright Series brings us monthly shows featuring artists playing the venue for the first time. These are fresh\, contemporary roots-based bands and artists that are making waves on the national folk scene\, getting strong radio play\, charting\, releasing albums\, developing a strong following on social media\, touring hard\, and selling out venues. \n \nThe Bright Series is made possible by a generous gift from Kevin & Claudia Bright. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Enjoy two weeks of access with your live stream ticket. \n \n \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
