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: 11:30 am	\n	 \n	\n\n		\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		Rochmon Record Club Listening Party Featuring Janis Ian\n\n				Folk Other Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n			Sold Out		\n\n		\n			Aug 26 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Storytelling Open Mic Featuring Johanna Martin\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Other Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Sep 1 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Sober Salon\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Other\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Sep 17 • 7 PM

Their rich harmonies\, impeccable musicianship\, and infectious energy have earned them two Grammy nominations\, eight International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Awards\, and the admiration of audiences around the world. \n \nTheir latest release\, Been All Around This World\, celebrates the band's remarkable Golden Anniversary\, while continuing the sound that has made Special Consensus a bluegrass institution. Whether performing hard-driving instrumentals\, classic bluegrass standards\, or thoughtful contemporary songs\, Cahill and his outstanding band deliver performances that are polished\, joyful\, and deeply rooted in the traditions they love. \n \nIf you joined us for their unforgettable visit last year\, you already know what to expect. If you didn't\, here's your chance to experience one of bluegrass's finest live bands in the intimate setting of Caffè Lena. \n \nSAMPLE SONG  \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
