DESCRIPTION:Global		\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	\n	NERFA After Party with Carolyn Shapiro\, Sweet Petunia\, and Great Aunt! The Northeast International Folk Alliance Conference–a gathering of folk artists\, presenters\, industry folks\, and fans–is set to take place in Albany this November. Following the conference\, we are inviting everyone up the road to Caffè Lena for an after party at our historic venue! This show will feature three artists that Caffè Lena has connected with at NERFA over the years\, each performing a 30 minute set of original music.  Conference attendees are invited to finish what is sure to be an incredible weekend of music with one final gathering here in our listening room. And\, if you are not attending the conference but still want to hear some up and coming folk artists you're in luck! We will have a limited amount of seats available to the general public. Grab 'em while you can!  ARTIST BIOS Great Aunt Great Aunt is the award-winning Australian duo of Megan Bird and Chelsea Allen\, whose soaring harmonies and unusual instrumental palette draw from folk\, country and roots while folding in influences from punk\, jazz\, soul and rock. Named Duo of the Year at the 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards\, they have toured extensively in the U.S. as well as Australia\, bringing warmth\, wit and an unmistakable chemistry to their live performances. Their songs can be joyful\, vulnerable and slyly funny\, creating a sound that feels rooted in tradition without being confined by it. Carolyn Shapiro Southern Adirondacks banjo player and songwriter Carolyn Shapiro pairs hypnotic old-time picking with a commanding voice and songs that explore the complicated business of being human. A two-time Folk Artist of the Year for New York’s Capital Region\, Carolyn actually found her voice right here at Caffè Lena\, honing her craft at our weekly Open Mic before emerging as a standout on the regional folk scene. Her music is deeply rooted in tradition while pushing the banjo into fresh territory\, delivered with warmth\, vulnerability and plenty of soul. Sweet Petunia Boston duo Sweet Petunia brings together the lightning-fast playing and razor-sharp harmonies of Mairead Guy and Maddy Simpson\, with one foot planted in traditional folk and the other firmly in Boston’s punk and DIY scene. Twice nominated for a Boston Music Award for Best Folk Act\, the duo released their debut full-length album\, Foggy Mountain Mental Breakdown\, on Righteous Babe Records in 2026\, mixing old-time and bluegrass roots with a decidedly contemporary edge. Unapologetically queer\, sometimes tender and sometimes gloriously loud\, Sweet Petunia is interested not simply in preserving folk music\, but in helping it evolve.

SUMMARY:Farah Siraj
DESCRIPTION:Global		\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	\n	If you saw Farah Siraj at Caffè Lena @ SPAC last year\, you probably remember that voice. Now Jordan's “Musical Ambassadress” comes to the intimate Caffè Lena stage with a stunning new project that brings Arabic music and flamenco together. When Farah Siraj performed as part of our Caffè Lena @ SPAC series in 2025\, she wowed the audience with a voice capable of moving from breathtaking tenderness to exhilarating power. We knew then that we wanted to bring her back\, and this time\, you'll get to experience her up close at Caffè Lena. The Jordanian singer-songwriter returns with her forthcoming album\, Miel y Limón\, produced by 10-time Grammy Award winner Javier Limón. The project brings together two musical worlds with deep histories of their own: the passionate rhythms and guitar of flamenco and the melodic beauty and tradition of Arabic music. Add Farah's jazz influences and remarkable voice\, and the result is music that feels ancient and contemporary\, intimate and expansive all at once. Farah has carried that voice from her native Jordan to some of the world's most prestigious stages\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, the United Nations\, the World Economic Forum and the Nobel Peace Prize Forum. Her music crosses borders just as naturally\, exploring love\, longing\, resilience and the connections that exist between people and cultures. For this special concert\, Farah is joined by her trio for an evening of virtuosic vocals\, flamenco guitar\, percussion\, storytelling and improvisation. Rather than simply placing Arabic and Spanish traditions side by side\, the musicians allow them to speak to one another\, creating a musical conversation that can shift from delicate and haunting to fiery and rhythmic. "Miel y Limón"\, “Honey and Lemon”\, is a fitting name for music filled with contrasts: sweetness and bite\, vulnerability and strength\, tradition and reinvention. And if you were among the people who discovered Farah at SPAC last year\, you already have an idea of what's coming. Sample Song But hearing that extraordinary voice from just a few feet away at Caffè Lena? That's going to be something else. This concert is part of the Nordlys Global Voices Series\, made possible by The Nordlys Foundation. This series features artists from non-English-speaking countries on international tours. These concerts range from exquisite serenity\, to big dance party. We’re looking for bands that authentically represent their nation’s musical roots. Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
