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.

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 $41.21\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $45.55\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $22.77\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 5 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-07-23/ 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:20260729T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260729T110000 DTSTAMP:20260624T085910 CREATED:20260121T200736Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260125T033938Z UID:10006222-1785321000-1785322800@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Folk Club Kids DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Folk Club Kids: Stories\, Songs\, and Sing-a-longs Wednesdays 10:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. https://www.caffelena.org/folk-club-kids/ Join Dan Berggren\, Arielle Woodul and Connor Armbruster for Folk Club Kids: a free weekly interactive concert series for preschoolers and their caregivers.

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: 4:30 pm \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n Member\n $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 8 PM 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:20260624T085911 CREATED:20260216T185224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260619T173308Z UID:10006120-1786095000-1786116600@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Summer Camp: Troubadour in Training with Oona Grady and James Gascoyne DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Music is a gift best shared with friends!

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: 4:30 pm \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n Member\n $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 8 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-08-13/ 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:20260814T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T103000 DTSTAMP:20260624T085912 CREATED:20260619T164821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260619T170327Z UID:10006335-1786699800-1786703400@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Music With Miss Deb Summer Session DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Experience this interactive and fun exploration of music with Miss Deb! Birth – 4 years old We will sing songs\, move around\, play with colorful props and play percussion instruments while enjoying and learning about music in an organic learning environment.  Songs from other cultures will be included along with traditional folk songs.  Fun for the whole family! 6 sessions July 3\, 17\, 31\, August 14\, 21 + 28 9:45 am – 10:30 am $75 #youthclass \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 $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 5 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/music-with-miss-deb-summer-session/2026-08-14/ 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/2026/06/december-5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T160000 DTSTAMP:20260624T085912 CREATED:20260514T183054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260622T161417Z UID:10006295-1786719600-1786723200@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Janis Ian Explains the World DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Designed for songwriters\, artists\, creatives\, and curious minds alike\, the sessions will explore songwriting\, storytelling\, creativity\, the music business\, and the lived experiences behind a lifetime in 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 $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 5 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-11/2026-08-20/ 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:20260821T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260821T103000 DTSTAMP:20260624T085912 CREATED:20260619T164821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260619T170327Z UID:10006337-1787304600-1787308200@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Music With Miss Deb Summer Session DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Experience this interactive and fun exploration of music with Miss Deb! Birth – 4 years old We will sing songs\, move around\, play with colorful props and play percussion instruments while enjoying and learning about music in an organic learning environment.  Songs from other cultures will be included along with traditional folk songs.  Fun for the whole family! 6 sessions July 3\, 17\, 31\, August 14\, 21 + 28 9:45 am – 10:30 am $75 #youthclass \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Doors Open\n Doors Open: 4:30 pm \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n Member\n $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 8 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/music-with-miss-deb-summer-session/2026-08-21/ 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/2026/06/december-5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260821T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260821T160000 DTSTAMP:20260624T085913 CREATED:20260514T183054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260622T161417Z UID:10006296-1787324400-1787328000@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Janis Ian Explains the World DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Designed for songwriters\, artists\, creatives\, and curious minds alike\, the sessions will explore songwriting\, storytelling\, creativity\, the music business\, and the lived experiences behind a lifetime in music.

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 $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 5 PM 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:20260828T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260828T103000 DTSTAMP:20260624T085913 CREATED:20260619T164821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260619T170327Z UID:10006336-1787909400-1787913000@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Music With Miss Deb Summer Session DESCRIPTION:Jazz \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 Experience this interactive and fun exploration of music with Miss Deb! Birth – 4 years old We will sing songs\, move around\, play with colorful props and play percussion instruments while enjoying and learning about music in an organic learning environment.  Songs from other cultures will be included along with traditional folk songs.  Fun for the whole family! 6 sessions July 3\, 17\, 31\, August 14\, 21 + 28 9:45 am – 10:30 am $75 #youthclass \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Doors Open\n Doors Open: 4:30 pm \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n Member\n $81.34\n \n \n \n \n \n General\n $92.18\n \n \n \n \n \n Child or Student\n $46.09\n \n \n \n  \n inclusive of fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets \n \n Streaming\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 Jeanne O’Connor: The Sweetest Sounds — Exclusive Pre-Release Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 3 • 8 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n The Skidmore Summer Jazz Institute Students Concert\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n Sold Out \n\n \n Jul 5 • 7 PM \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Caffè Lena\n \n\n \n\n Peak Jazz Series: John Pizzarelli Presents “Dear Mr. Bennett”\n\n Jazz\n \n \n \n \n event\n \n \n\n \n Jul 11 • 8 PM URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/music-with-miss-deb-summer-session/2026-08-28/ 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/2026/06/december-5.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
