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		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		Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play featuring Joel Brown and Peter Madcat Ruth\n\n				American Roots\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n			Sold Out		\n\n		\n			Jul 26 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour\n\n				American Roots\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 31 • 12 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Rory Block\n\n				Blues\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 31 • 8 PM

SUMMARY:Nordlys Global Voices Series: Alla Boara
DESCRIPTION:Blues		\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\nLed by percussionist and composer Anthony Taddeo\, Alla Boara draws inspiration from the distinct dialects\, stories\, and melodies of Italy’s pre-industrial past—music that once lived in kitchens\, wheat fields\, fishing villages\, and mountain towns\, and has nearly vanished in the modern era. \n \nAt the heart of the ensemble is Amanda Powell\, whose impassioned\, theatrical vocals capture the humor\, longing\, tenderness\, and drama of Italian life. The songs unfold like short plays—by turns playful\, mournful\, heroic\, and achingly human—powered by rich storytelling and dazzling instrumental interplay that evokes a seasoned jazz group. \n \nTheir debut album\, Le Tre Sorelle\, was praised by Cleveland Magazine for its “top-notch musicianship\,” and GRAMMY-nominated artist Becca Stevens applauds Alla Boara for “breathing new possibilities into timeless stories.” Their work has earned critical acclaim from NPR\, All About Jazz\, Jazz Weekly\, SWR2 Germany\, and beyond. \n \nMore than a concert\, Alla Boara invites audiences to rediscover cultural memory\, honor ancestral voices\, and experience the emotional depth of songs that—though centuries old—speak directly to our modern hearts. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nRecorded on June 28th\, 2024\, this performance features the band’s very first original arrangement – the song that gave their ensemble its name. \n \n"Alla Boara" is built around an old Italian work song traditionally sung as call-and-response during grain harvests. The title literally means "to the work\," marking it as music created specifically for labor in the fields. \n \nThis piece represents the heart of what they do: taking Italy's rich folk traditions and breathing new life into them through fresh instrumental voices while respecting their original purpose and meaning. \n \nA breathtaking fusion of history\, storytelling\, jazz\, global folk\, and contemporary imagination — perfect for music lovers\, culture lovers\, and anyone curious about where we come from. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Live stream available for $5 – 100% of live stream tickets on CaffeLenaTV benefit the artists.
