SUMMARY:Bluegrass Duet Class with Alan Epstein and Bruce Thompson

Early groups such as the Blue Sky Boys\, the Monroe Brothers\, the Louvin Brothers\, and the Delmore Brothers helped develop the roots of the sound that we know as bluegrass. Each week we will listen to recorded examples of these and other duet and bluegrass artists and will work on singing and playing some of their best known songs.  \n \nThis class is NOT intended for beginning musicians looking to learn the basics of their instruments. Rather\, it is aimed at those who can play their acoustic instrument\, (guitar\, banjo\, bass\, fiddle\, mandolin\, dobro) and are interested in exploring the music's roots to help them fine tune their sound with a duet partner. \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n	\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 6:00 pm	\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		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 6 • 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 Kelvin Keraga\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 7 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 20 • 7 PM

SUMMARY:65th Anniversary Folk Heritage Series: Lucy Kaplansky

She has released nine critically acclaimed albums\, two of which were awarded Best Pop Album of the year by the Association for Independent Music. But where she shines brightest is on the live stage.  \n \nMaybe it's her background as a clinical psychologist\, because there's nobody who helps us unwind\, let our guard down\, and open our hearts like Lucy Kaplansky. She makes every audience feel like a circle of old friends catching up and reconnecting. Kaplansky is also part of folk supergroup Cry Cry Cry with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell.  \n \nHer recording of Roxy Music’s “More Than This” has over 12 million streams on Spotify\, and she has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered\, Weekend Edition\, and Morning Edition as well as BBC Radio\, and CBS Sunday Morning\, and has sung harmony on albums by Suzanne Vega\, Bryan Ferry\, Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin.  \n \nHer latest release\, The Lucy Story (2025)\, is a retrospective of unreleased tracks\, demos\, and live recordings spanning her remarkable journey—from teenage bedroom tapes to international tours and studio collaborations with some of folk music’s finest. NPR’s Scott Simon has called her music “utterly beautiful and affecting\,” a fitting tribute to an artist whose songs capture the human experience with honesty\, warmth\, and grace. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.

SUMMARY:Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem
DESCRIPTION:Multi-act Program Open Mic		\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\nFor over 25 years\, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem  have uplifted audiences across the country with their joyful\, genre-blurring blend of American roots music. With rafter-shaking harmonies\, grooves that nod to New Orleans\, and an inventive mix of fiddle\, guitars\, and “junk percussion\,” their sound is both soulful and celebratory—what Acoustic Guitar calls “tight\, with stylish\, unexpected choices.” \n \nBased in New England\, this quartet has graced stages from the Newport Folk Festival to the California World Music Festival and beyond. At the helm\, Rani Arbo brings her unforgettable voice—light and sultry with a touch of smoke—while anchoring the band with fiddle and guitar. Alongside her are Andrew Kinsey (bass\, banjo\, ukulele)\, Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars)\, and Scott Kessel\, whose homemade percussion kit of boxes\, cans\, and rattles creates an irresistible rhythmic drive. Together\, their harmonies can hush a room or bring it to its feet. \n \nIn the lineage of great American string bands\, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem stand out for their fearless eclecticism.

What began in 1989 with a year of busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gig he could find has grown into a remarkable career spanning 20 albums\, thousands of performances\, and collaborations with some of folk’s most respected voices. \n \nFrom his early days in Midwest bars and Boston coffeehouses to national stages opening for Ani DiFranco\, Emmylou Harris\, Greg Brown\, and Chuck Prophet\, Mulvey has always followed his instinct for the eclectic and the essential. Along the way\, he has given a TEDx talk\, published an illustrated book\, and become a beloved fixture at festivals\, on NPR\, and at the National Youth Science Camp\, where he’s shared music with generations of young minds. \n \nMulvey’s annual autumn bicycle tour epitomizes his creative spirit—merging music\, community\, and sustainability—while his long-running Lamplighter Sessions bring together artists in Boston and Wisconsin for nights of collaboration and discovery. With each new project\, he deepens his reputation as a songwriter of rare insight and a performer who connects instantly with audiences. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nAt Caffè Lena\, expect an evening of songs and stories that travel effortlessly from wry and whimsical to deeply moving—always carried by Mulvey’s warmth\, wit\, and remarkable craft. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.

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		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 6:00 pm	\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		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 6 • 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 Kelvin Keraga\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 7 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 20 • 7 PM

Early groups such as the Blue Sky Boys\, the Monroe Brothers\, the Louvin Brothers\, and the Delmore Brothers helped develop the roots of the sound that we know as bluegrass. Each week we will listen to recorded examples of these and other duet and bluegrass artists and will work on singing and playing some of their best known songs.  \n \nThis class is NOT intended for beginning musicians looking to learn the basics of their instruments. Rather\, it is aimed at those who can play their acoustic instrument\, (guitar\, banjo\, bass\, fiddle\, mandolin\, dobro) and are interested in exploring the music's roots to help them fine tune their sound with a duet partner. \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n	\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 6:00 pm	\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		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 6 • 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 Kelvin Keraga\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 7 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 20 • 7 PM

The event pairs six local individuals—each supported by a local nonprofit that helped them overcome a major life challenge—with professional songwriters and storytellers who guide them in transforming their experience into an original true story and song performed on stage.  \n\n \nThis year\, our neighbors represent: \n \n\nCAPTAIN Community Human Services – Speaker: Rebecca Lefevre | Songwriter: Emily Barnes | Coach:Christie Keegan\nEpilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York – Speaker: Teagan Ketchum | Songwriter: Sirsy | Coach:Shawn Banner\nRISE Housing & Support Services – Speaker: Robert Winkler | Songwriter: Rachel Sumner | Coach: Margaret French\nAll Abilities Productions – Speaker: Keely Milligan | Songwriter: Reese Fulmer | Coach: Vivian Nesbitt\nSustainable Saratoga – Speakers: Tom Stock & Joanne Yepsen | Songwriter: Dan Berggren | Coach: Jeannine Laverty\nCamp Stomping Ground – Speaker: Daniel C. | Songwriter: Crys Matthews | Coach: Claire Nolan\n\n“These stories remind us how many people quietly face—and overcome—extraordinary challenges\, often with the help of organizations doing life-changing work right here at home\,” said Sarah Craig\, Executive Director of Caffè Lena. “The audience gets to see a side of the community that is usually invisible to us. We have no idea what kind of struggles the people around us have faced\, and hearing these stories firsthand changes the way you see the world.” \n\n \nPerformances by Crys Matthews\, Emily Barnes\, Sirsy\, Rachel Sumner\, Reese Fulmer\, and Dan Berggren will bring these local stories to life through song\, creating an evening that uplifts\, unites\, and celebrates the power of empathy. \n\n \n“TrueSongs is about community at its deepest level\,” Craig added. “We hear firsthand how our neighbors have overcome challenges and then experience those stories transformed into song. It’s an evening that builds connection and reminds us of the shared humanity that binds us all.”  \n\n \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE ON THE UPH SITE. \n\n \nTrueSongs 2025 is made possible through the generous support of Business For Good. \n\n \n﻿ \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n	\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 6:00 pm

With 4 studio albums\, 7 EPs\, a live album\, and over 85 original songs\, her body of work has earned millions of streams and critical praise for its lyrical depth and soulful delivery. \nHer songs have been described as “brilliantly moving folk/pop with a lyrical depth and soul” (Performer Magazine) and “a melancholy little masterpiece” (American Songwriter). No Depression calls her “truly a treasure.” \nReardon has shared the stage with some of the most respected voices in music—Lori McKenna\, Rodney Crowell\, Dar Williams\, Anaïs Mitchell\, Xavier Rudd\, John Paul White\, Rachel Platten\, and most recently\, Ed Sheeran\, who invited her to perform at his Old Phone Pub pop-up in Massachusetts. \nA seasoned touring artist\, Reardon has played nearly 300 shows across Europe and held a six-month residency in Dachau\, Germany. She’s also built a creative home in Barcelona\, recording with Catalan collaborators Aniol Bestit\, Pau Figueres\, and Arnau Figueres. Her 2023 EP Changes even features a bilingual duet with acclaimed Catalan singer-songwriter Judit Neddermann. \nBack in the Northeast\, she frequently collaborates with beloved songwriters Heather Maloney\, Antje Duvekot\, and Seth Glier. Her newest album\, After Everything (2024)\, showcases her ever-deepening artistry and gift for intimate\, emotionally resonant songwriting. \nHayley Reardon SAMPLE SONG \nWith a voice that holds both fragility and strength\, and songs that open doors to empathy and reflection\, Hayley Reardon has become one of the most compelling voices in today’s folk scene. \nOpening for Hayley is Emily Barnes\,  a contemporary folk singer-songwriter known for her haunting voice and vividly drawn characters. Hailing from the tiny town of Johnsonburg\, NJ\, she’s built a grassroots following through heartfelt performances and honest storytelling. With four albums to her name—including her latest\, Mint Condition\, which led to a sold-out Northeast tour—Barnes has also been a finalist in prestigious songwriting contests like the Kerrville Folk Festival\, Red Lodge Songwriters Festival\, and Acorn Song Contest. Her music invites listeners into a world where every lyric tells a story. \nEmily Barnes SAMPLE SONG \nCan't make it to the show in person? Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.

SUMMARY:Momentum Series: Michael McDermott
DESCRIPTION:Multi-act Program Open Mic		\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\nChicago singer-songwriter Michael McDermott has always lived in dualities—poet and rocker\, confessor and storyteller\, survivor and dreamer. This fall\, he embraces that balance fully with an unprecedented achievement: the simultaneous release of two full-length albums—Lighthouse on the Shore (acoustic) and East Jesus (electric)—on September 13th. \n \nMcDermott’s music brims with hard-earned wisdom and unflinching honesty. From the quiet melancholy and lyrical grace of Lighthouse on the Shore to the raw\, anthemic power of East Jesus\, these companion albums reveal the two sides of an artist who grew up on both Woody Guthrie and The Rolling Stones\, Tom Waits and U2. They are songs of survival\, sobriety\, love\, and redemption—deeply personal yet universally resonant. He effortlessly blends natural folk sensibility\, pop hooks\, and honest rock. \n \nWith a career spanning more than three decades\, McDermott has been hailed as one of America’s most under-recognized songwriting talents. His work has drawn comparisons to Bruce Springsteen\, Van Morrison\, and Patti Smith\, and earned the admiration of Stephen King\, who once called him “possibly the greatest undiscovered rock & roll talent of the last 20 years.” \n \nOnstage\, McDermott’s blend of folk intimacy\, rock urgency\, and Irish South Side grit makes for an unforgettable night of music. Whether whispering tender ballads or belting full-throttle rockers\, he delivers songs that feel like late-night confessions and timeless anthems all at once. McDermott’s inspirational rock is waiting late night with a guitar\, spare smokes and stories of the American heart. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \n \n \nThe Momentum Series features high energy music–solo or band. These are typically more shows that infuse the room with crackling energy rather than featuring solo acoustic performers. Many\, but not all\, of the monthly Momentum artists are playing our venue for the first time. \n \nThe Momentum Series is Made possible by the generous support of Joseph & Luann Conlon\, in honor of Thom O'Neil. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Enjoy one week of access with your live stream ticket. \n \n﻿ \n \n﻿Note: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value.

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		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 6:00 pm	\n	 \n \n \n \n	\n					\n				Get Tickets			\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		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 6 • 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 Kelvin Keraga\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 7 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 13 • 7 PM

This spirited storytelling competition is open to all participants. Storytellers take the stage to tell a true story in under 5 minutes. Judges (2-3 audience members) score the stories\, and at the end of the night\, a winner is announced. All winners are invited to ACW's annual Grand Slam at the end of the year. This year's theme is  "Go Your Own Way" — stories of roads less taken\, independence\, dancing to your own tune\, or just plain old getting lost. \n \nWant to take a turn on stage? Here are some tips: \n \n\nPractice\, practice\, practice.\nYour story must be true and told without notes. This includes scribbles on the back of your hand.\nYour audience is brilliant and easily distracted. Jump right into the action of your story.\nPractice your story as much as possible\, in the bathroom\, during your morning commute\, in line for coffee. By the time you arrive at The Howl Story Slam\, you’ll be cool as a cucumber.\nLeave the rants and stand-up routines at home. Humor is welcome\, but keep in mind that having a story with a beginning\, middle\, and end is more important than having a few good punchlines.\nShow up and put your name on the storyteller list. When your name is called\, you’ve got five minutes to tell your tale.\nStorytellers will be judged on relevance to the theme "Go Your Own Way."\nMake sure your story has conflict and resolution\, and stays within the time limit. \n\nAgain\, stories must be: \n \n\nTrue\nUnder 5 minutes\nAdhere to the night’s theme\nTold with no notes\n\nSAMPLE  \n \nAdmission is a $10 suggested donation\, which will be split between ACW\, NCPR and Caffe Lena. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.

SUMMARY:JAZZ at Caffe Lena: The Chuck Lamb Trio with Special Guest Lucas Pino
DESCRIPTION:Multi-act Program Open Mic		\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\nJoin us for another extraordinary evening of jazz as Caffè Lena’s monthly jazz series\, Jazz at Caffè Lena\, returns with resident host and pianist Chuck Lamb at the helm. A pillar of Caffè Lena’s jazz programming\, Lamb brings fresh energy\, deep musicality\, and an open-hearted spirit to every performance. \n \nNovember’s special guest is saxophonist Lucas Pino. Lucas Pino is a tenor saxophonist\, multi-woodwind player\, and composer whose thoughtful\, lyrical approach has made him a respected voice in today’s jazz scene. He has performed with artists ranging from Dave Brubeck and Christian McBride to Darcy James Argue and Takuya Kuroda\, and leads The No Net Nonet\, a nine-piece acoustic ensemble that has held a monthly residency at Smalls Jazz Club in New York since 2013. Pino has released four albums under his own name\, including That’s A Computer (Outside In Music). A graduate of the Brubeck Institute\, The New School\, and Juilliard\, he is also the recipient of the Herb Alpert ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award and now serves as Co-Artistic Director of the Brubeck Jazz Summit. \n \nChuck Lamb has been the pianist with the renowned Brubeck Brothers Quartet since 2002 and is known for his passionate\, expressive style. In addition to his jazz credentials\, he’s a prolific composer whose work spans jazz\, fusion\, classical\, and world music. His performances are electrifying—moving seamlessly between lyricism and explosive improvisation. \n \nWith the vision and generosity of the late GRAMMY and Oscar-winning producer Joel Moss\, Jazz at Caffè Lena has flourished into a regional destination for lovers of innovative\, boundary-pushing jazz. His legacy continues to guide and inspire the series. \n \nThe pairing of Lucas Pino’s lyrical saxophone voice with Chuck Lamb’s inventive trio promises an evening of rich interplay\, fresh ideas\, and inspired jazz conversation. This is night of music that will surprise\, delight\, and leave you wanting more. \n \nDon’t miss your chance to witness spontaneous magic—live and in the moment. \n \nCan't make the show in person?
