Their solo vocals carry songs that blend modern folk/pop sensibilities with contemporary acoustic traditions. \n \nJoel Brown is an accomplished classical guitarist whose work has taken him to the Czech Republic\, Asia with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra\, and to U.S. stages including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.  He has also been featured with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\, at Tanglewood and with the Boston Pops. He is also a member of Triple Play\, a trio that weaves jazz\, blues\, and folk influences\, and serves as Artist-in-Residence at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs. \n \nDave Maswick first gained national attention in the ’80s as a member of Blotto\, appearing in the video for “I Wanna Be a Lifeguard” on MTV’s first day of broadcast. His song “I Don’t Know Why/Theme in Bar” from the cult classic Basket Case is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. Over the years\, he has written\, produced\, and performed with a wide range of musicians in the U.S. and Europe\, while remaining a charter member of the Stony Creek Band\, a progressive country-bluegrass outfit.  \n \n SAMPLE SONG \n \nCombine these two seasoned musicians and you get an exquisite evening of music. \n \nOverit Home Grown Sessions is made possible by a generous gift from Overit – a full-service marketing and creative agency based in Upstate New York. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.

A pillar of Caffè Lena’s jazz programming\, Lamb brings fresh energy\, deep musicality\, and an open-hearted spirit to every performance. \n \nThis October\, Chuck welcomes a very special guest: internationally acclaimed trombonist Steve Davis. \n \nNicknamed “Stevie-D” by the late Jackie McLean\, Davis is widely regarded as one of today’s leading voices on the trombone. His lyrical\, hard-swinging style has earned him recognition across the globe\, from his early days with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers to collaborations with Chick Corea\, Freddie Hubbard\, Horace Silver\, Cedar Walton\, and Ron Carter. Davis has released 20 albums as a leader\, appeared on more than 100 recordings\, and performed with the Dizzy Gillespie All-Stars\, Jimmy Heath\, and Christian McBride\, whose Grammy-winning album Bringin’ It featured Davis’ original composition “Optimism.” \n \nNamed Trombonist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association for four consecutive years (2010–2013)\, Davis has played on the stages of Smoke\, Smalls\, Lincoln Center\, the White House\, and festivals worldwide. His artistry combines a deep respect for jazz tradition with adventurous\, expressive improvisation that continues to inspire musicians and audiences alike. \n \nSteve Davis SAMPLE SONG \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 \nDon’t miss this intimate evening as Chuck Lamb welcomes Steve Davis to the Caffè Lena stage—a rare chance to experience two master musicians creating together\, spontaneous magic—live and in the moment. \n \nCan't make the show in person?

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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-4/2025-10-09/ 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/2025/02/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251009T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T170343 CREATED:20250612T140849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251021T142723Z UID:10003830-1760007600-1760011200@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Guitar Workshop Level 1 with Bruce Thompson 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\nRegistration closed for session\, feel free to drop in for $25 per class. \n \nGuitar I – Beginner 11:15 am – 12:10 pm \n \nThis class will focus on learning basic skills in order to play songs alone or with other players.

Their Florida road trip ignited a deep friendship\, full of tall tales over epic meals\, long nights playing guitar and trading songs\, and visits back and forth between their homes in Nashville and New Orleans.  \n \nAlong the way\, John invited Tom to work with him to write a memoir\, with John telling sprawling\, often hilarious stories of his youth and family in Chicago and Kentucky\, his breakthrough into the national spotlight\, his riotous early years in the Nashville country scene\, and much more. When John died suddenly of COVID in April 2020\, that unfinished memoir evolved into Living in the Present with John Prine\, an unforgettable portrait of the beloved musician in his late glory.  \n \nWith a warm stage presence\, Tom shares stories about John\, their trip together\, and how his book came to be. He'll even play a few of the songs from John's playbook. A book signing will follow the event. Copies of Living in the Present with John Prine will also be available for purchase. For more about Author Tom Piazza and Living in the Present with John Prine\, please see https://saratogabookfestival.org/2025-festival-authors/. \n \nPiazza is a four-time winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for Music Writing\, and author of several books including the nonfiction bestseller Why New Orleans Matters and the novels The Auburn Conference and A Free State.

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 URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/school-of-music-slow-jam-4/2025-10-02/ 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/2025/02/december-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251002T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251002T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T170346 CREATED:20250612T140849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251021T142723Z UID:10003829-1759402800-1759406400@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Guitar Workshop Level 1 with Bruce Thompson 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\nRegistration closed for session\, feel free to drop in for $25 per class. \n \nGuitar I – Beginner 11:15 am – 12:10 pm \n \nThis class will focus on learning basic skills in order to play songs alone or with other players.

A Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and award-winning songwriter\, Scott brings poetic honesty\, soulful musicianship\, and masterful storytelling to every performance. His music transforms the everyday into the eternal\, the mundane into the meaningful. \n \nFrom touring with Robert Plant and Zac Brown Band to writing hits for The Chicks\, Faith Hill\, Garth Brooks\, and Patty Loveless\, Scott’s songwriting legacy is both vast and deeply personal. His powerful song “Hank Williams’ Ghost” was named Americana Song of the Year\, and his lyrics have become part of the American musical fabric. \n \nWith roots in a musical family and a life devoted to creativity\, Scott is just as likely to be found hiking the Tennessee woods or cooking homegrown meals as he is writing and producing for others. Whether leading songwriting workshops or crafting his next timeless ballad\, he remains a torchbearer for authenticity and heart. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nJoin us for an evening with one of America’s most revered musical voices—an artist whose songs help us make sense of our world and ourselves. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
