During the past three decades\, Lena’s open mic has been recognized with “Best Of” awards from Metroland Magazine\, The Alt Weekly\, The Saratogian Reader’s Poll and Saratoga’s Fab Five. Just like at our weekend shows\, all attention is focused on the stage. \n \nOur Hosts\n \nFirst Monday – Rick Bolton \n \nSecond Monday – Carolyn Shapiro  \n \nThird Monday – Ray Pashoukos \n \nFourth Monday – Kate Blain \n \nHere’s what to expect:\n\nEvery Monday.

We can play your MP3 backing track through our sound system. You are welcome to bring amps and drums BUT set up and break down is part of your 10 minutes.\nLimited Open Mic menu available. No alcohol! We like to keep our Monday nights family friendly.\nPlay Nice! We foster a diverse community that has a great time making art and helping one another get better. Excessive profanity\, explicit sexual themes\, and “humor” that unkindly targets a specific group undermines this goal. 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 artur@caffelena.org. \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\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		Mandolin Vitamins – Tunes\, Techniques and Ensemble Music\n\n				Bluegrass Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 6 • 10 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Music Theory for Jammers with Bruce Thompson\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 8 • 7 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 9 • 9 AM
