Caffè Lena

Caffè Lena is a legendary folk music listening room in downtown Saratoga Springs, about a 30-minute drive north of Albany, and one of the oldest continuously operating folk venues in the country.

Bluegrass Jam

On select Wednesday evenings from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Caffè Lena hosts a Bluegrass Jam where all are welcome to join the circle and play or listen to classic bluegrass, newgrass and folk favorites. The group Red Spruce typically opens with a few tunes before the circle takes over, with musicians leading songs and others joining in on accompaniment.

Other Events

Caffè Lena's calendar is built around touring folk, Americana and singer-songwriter acts, along with open mic nights and songwriter showcases.

Good to Know

Caffè Lena is located at 47 Phila Street, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. A $5 donation at the door is requested, and simple, familiar tunes are encouraged to keep the circle moving.
