We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. \n \nRed 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! \n \nWhat is a Slow Jam? \n \nIt 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 Price\n \n General\n FREE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Streaming\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 CANCELLED: Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop with Ron Gordon\n\n American Roots Workshop\n \n \n \n \n class\n \n \n\n \n Apr 18 • 10 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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-07-30/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260731T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260731T130000 DTSTAMP:20260417T225004 CREATED:20260415T215808Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260415T221326Z UID:10006237-1785499200-1785502800@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass Instructional Workshop \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\nBring your lunch & listen to a playlist curated by a Caffe Lena Community member.

Very early on\, she dug her heels deep into the blues tradition and has since been recognized as one of the finest acoustic blues guitarists of the modern era. With a style similar to that of Robert Johnson’s Delta blues\, she has undoubtedly become a dominant figure in the world of slide guitar\, "playing the blues the way it was meant to be played." (Guitar Girl Magazine) \n \nSeminal Blues guitarist Robert Johnson’s grandson Greg Johnson says\, “When I hear Rory Block’s music\, it’s as if my grandfather is here all over again.” Rolling Stone credited her with recording “some of the most singular and affecting Country Blues anyone\, man or woman\, black or white\, old or young\, has cut in recent years.” \n \nIn a career that has thus far produced 36 albums\, 10 Blues Music Awards\, and numerous world tours\, Block’s fabled odyssey finds her at the absolute height of her talents\, and at the top of the touring world\, while at the same time living life as a music producer\, author and ordained minister “Preaching the Blues.” You might say Block is a darling of the press with testaments such as: “If you like music steeped in tradition and genuine feeling\, this is your woman” (People Magazine)\, “Her playing is perfect\, her singing otherworldly as she wrestles with ghosts\, shadows and legends.” (The New York Times)\, and our own Capital District’s Times Union raves\, “One of America’s foremost Country Blues torchbearers\, she’s a breathtaking slash-’n’-burn guitarist and a supremely soulful vocalist.” Multi Grammy-winning artist and fan\, Bonnie Raitt\, adds\, “Rory Block has been an inspiration to me since we started out years ago. Her guitar playing\, singing and songwriting are some of the most soulful in traditional and modern blues.” Or take it from Cash Box Magazine\, who pegged Block as “Female sensitivity sheathed in steel.. pure thunder. She’s spellbinding!” \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Livestream available for $5 – 100% of live stream tickets on CaffeLenaTV benefit the artists.

We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. \n \nRed 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! \n \nWhat is a Slow Jam? \n \nIt 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 Price\n \n General\n FREE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Streaming\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 CANCELLED: Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop with Ron Gordon\n\n American Roots Workshop\n \n \n \n \n class\n \n \n\n \n Apr 18 • 10 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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-08-06/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260807T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260807T153000 DTSTAMP:20260417T225006 CREATED:20260216T185224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260304T193254Z UID:10006120-1786095000-1786116600@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Summer Camp: Troubadour in Training with Oona Grady and James Gascoyne DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass Instructional Workshop \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\nMusic is a gift best shared with friends!

Along the way\, they’ve gathered stories\, sounds\, and perspectives that now live inside their songs. \n \nTheir latest album\, Unravel\, produced by Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band)\, reflects that journey. You’ll hear echoes of classic bluegrass and country alongside modern Americana\, all tied together by their signature four-part harmonies and high-level musicianship. The songs explore life on the road\, time passing\, loss\, and joy\, always grounded in lived experience. \n \nBut what truly sets the Prowlers apart is the live show. \n \nOn stage\, their chemistry is immediate and unmistakable. Expect tight picking\, powerful harmonies\, and stories drawn from years of travel\, plus the occasional surprise\, like a bluegrass take on an international tune they picked up somewhere along the way. \n \nBeyond performance\, the band’s mission runs deep. Through their nonprofit\, Bluegrass Ambassadors\, and work with the U.S. State Department\, they use music as a tool for cultural exchange\, sharing a simple but powerful idea: we have more in common than we don’t. \n \nThis is bluegrass with a wide-open view of the world\, played by a band that’s lived it.  \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nStream this show live at CaffeLenaTV.

We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. \n \nRed 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! \n \nWhat is a Slow Jam? \n \nIt 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 Price\n \n General\n FREE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Streaming\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 CANCELLED: Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop with Ron Gordon\n\n American Roots Workshop\n \n \n \n \n class\n \n \n\n \n Apr 18 • 10 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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-08-27/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260828T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260828T130000 DTSTAMP:20260417T225009 CREATED:20260415T220401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260415T221926Z UID:10006238-1787918400-1787922000@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass Instructional Workshop \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\nBring your lunch & listen to a playlist curated by a Caffe Lena Community member.

It is up to the discretion of the host to enforce the house standards. \n\nCONTACT US\n \nIf you have any questions you can give us a call at 518-583-0022 or email our Monday House Manager: artur@caffelena.org \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n General\n $195.00\n \n \n \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 CANCELLED: Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop with Ron Gordon\n\n American Roots Workshop\n \n \n \n \n class\n \n \n\n \n Apr 18 • 10 AM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Online\n \n\n \n\n ONLINE: Songwriting Intensive with Gretchen Peters\n\n Singer Songwriter Workshop\n \n \n \n \n class\n \n \n\n \n Apr 19 • 2 PM \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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/open-mic-46/2026-08-31/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/image-10.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260903T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260903T150000 DTSTAMP:20260417T225010 CREATED:20260105T145344Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260105T150926Z UID:10005929-1788440400-1788447600@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:School of Music Slow Jam DESCRIPTION:American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Family Folk \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\nAll are Welcome!\nWE LOVE TO MEET NEW PICKERS\,\nAND WE LOVE PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW FOR LISTENERS!\n \nThis weekly program is made possible by the generous support of PHLY Foundation! \n \nTHERE ARE NO PRE-SHOW RESERVATIONS FOR THE JAMS! \n \nSUGGESTED DONATION AT THE DOOR. $5.00 per person \n \nOur jams are all about sharing songs\, making new friends\, and enjoying a relaxing and casual evening of irresistible string band music. \n \nALL 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. \n \nRed 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! \n \nWhat is a Slow Jam? \n \nIt 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 Price\n \n General\n FREE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Streaming\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 CANCELLED: Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop with Ron Gordon\n\n American Roots Workshop\n \n \n \n \n class\n \n \n\n \n Apr 18 • 10 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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-09-03/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
