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: 6:30 pm	\n	 \n	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$29.28\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$32.53\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$16.27\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				Farah Siraj\n\n				Global\n		\n				\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n		\n		\n			Nov 15 • 7 PM		\n			\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n		\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n	\n		\n\n				Momentum Series: Heard\n\n				Global\n		\n				\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n		\n		\n			Nov 27 • 8 PM

SUMMARY:Buggy Jive

Buggy Jive is an acoustic soul rock singer-songwriter from the Albany\, New York area\, equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility. Smart songs\, serious soul\, a little irreverence\, and a musical imagination that refuses to stay in its lane. Come discover Buggy Jive at Caffè Lena. Somewhere in a basement in Upstate New York\, a somewhat reclusive singer-songwriter has been quietly creating some of the most original music coming out of the Capital Region. His name is Buggy Jive\, and his distinctive blend of acoustic soul\, rock\, funk\, and folk is earning attention well beyond his basement walls. In 2026\, Buggy took home four Capital Region Eddie Awards\, including Songwriter of the Year\, Album of the Year\, Solo/Duo Artist of the Year\, and Music Video of the Year. He has opened for Macy Gray and Ben Folds\, and earned a coveted Top Shelf feature in NPR's Tiny Desk Contest.  A gifted songwriter with a sharp wit and a love of literature\, Buggy draws inspiration from writers as varied as Ralph Ellison\, Toni Morrison\, T.S. Eliot\, and Joan Didion. His songs tackle love\, identity\, storytelling\, and the anxieties of modern life with intelligence\, humor\, and an occasional well-placed expletive. The music can be funky\, tender\, confrontational\, or downright funny\, sometimes all within the same song.  His acclaimed 2025 album\, Icarus Ascending\, established him as a distinctive voice in contemporary songwriting. Now he's preparing its companion album\, Daedalus Down\, nine new songs that explore the complicated business of being human in complicated times. Recorded in his home studio\, the album includes the single "Meaning in the Morning\," a wonderfully unpredictable mix that sounds like nobody else but Buggy Jive. Buggy has deep roots in the Capital Region and is no stranger to the Caffè Lena stage. He has appeared as part of the Lena Go Round series\, The Beatle Caffe\, multiple artist tribute nights\, and most recently supporting acclaimed songwriter Joy Clark. We are thrilled to welcome him back for his first (and long overdue!) headlining show in our listening room. Sample Song Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
